Great people and benefits

Pros

- All of your leave is given up front when you're hired, not accrued, which is awesome - The people are all open minded and mission driven - They have addressed any concerns seen in other reviews about lack of upward mobility or professional development. They are really trying to take care of the Junior staff - Andy, the CEO, is hilarious and down to earth - Work-from-home Fridays every other Friday

Cons

- Hours are 9:00am - 6:00pm, but the Leadership Team will just decide not to show up to the office without telling their team and will frequently leave the office at 3:00pm or whenever they want to go home, go to appointments, go see family, etc. Hurts morale a bit, because the Junior team will always be expected to stay the full hours and answer all work calls/e-mails, even if they have children or long commutes. But of course, the Leadership have earned their right and the trust to be able to have flexible hours, so you have to earn it I think.

The best company to work for right out of college

Pros

Amazing benefits and pay, everyone recognizes the value of work/life balance, the work is fulfilling, and the culture is great. Management is always seeking feedback on how to grow and improve as a company. Depending on your manager, they will always be thinking of ways for you to grow in your career. This is not a place where if you mess up, you're fired- If you mess up, people teach you how to do it right and move forward.

Cons

Sometimes expectations for higher up and junior staff can be very different. Communication is not always clear to all levels of staff, but I think they're really trying to work on it. Some staff have a very negative attitude and underappreciate how amazing the company actually is and will always have something to criticize.

Unprofessional and boring company

Pros

Many of the younger people are fun and smart .

Cons

Many of the staff, especially the senior staff, pretend to be mission-driven and act like they care about global issues, but they don't really. The company likes to see itself on the same level as a nonprofit, saving the world with communications, but in reality, they are completely disconnected from people in the field who actually make a difference. Furthermore, they actually overcharge their clients, i.e. nonprofits, and the money goes directly to the owner of the company.
