Pros

I've worked at some top organizations, and so far Burness has been the best place I've worked. The work is very meaningful and the range of clients and causes you get to work on is truly incredible. There is almost no cause/social issue that Burness hasn't had an impact on/worked on to some degree. Colleagues are kind, supportive, passionate people and there is no sense of unhealthy competition you find at other top workplaces/agencies. Overall, I'm grateful to be a part of this company and to be making a difference in a multitude of powerful ways.

Cons

Agency work is demanding across-the-board, and Burness is no exception. We all work on a variety of clients and juggling them, as well as communication among colleagues across the variety of projects we work on, requires skill and patience. However, unlike other agencies, I believe Burness is close to the top when it comes to not expecting too much, and allowing us time and space to grow. I know firsthand from others working at top agencies how much companies can unrealistically demand of their people, and think Burness strikes a good balance between these extremes - and they are always trying to improve.
