Pros

FischTank is a great place to work. They have a client roster full of impressive, innovative companies, especially within climate/sustainability. Everyone's expected to show up and work hard, but they understand work-life balance (every other Friday off). They've gone through significant growth over the last 5+ years and continue to evolve to meet the needs of both their employees and clients.

Cons

Fast-moving work environment. Can be difficult to work on various accounts with different leads/team members. Some high-level subject matter (climate, b2b tech) that may not interest everyone.

We appreciate you leaving this review which we feel reflects FischTank PR very accurately. We do push our colleagues (and clients) during the work week, because that is how results are produced. A strong work ethic and desire to execute assertive communications and media outreach are absolute musts for any professional considering FischTank. While we expect hard work and focus during the week, we also respect work/life balance which is why we've instituted the 4.5 day work week you referenced, as well as flexible hour shifting, 15 PTO days (to start), and most important - a respect for evenings and weekends. Your advice is not lost on us either. Being in growth mode is good, but not at the expense of colleagues or clients, so we will work hard to improve processes and structure. Thank you!

Hi there, and thank you for leaving a review on Glassdoor! First, we appreciate the kind words about the environment and people here. We do our best and are happy you found it to be so positive. I'm glad you brought up the physical work setting as it may answer questions from current and future candidates. Just to be clear, we are not all remote work, our office opened in late 2020 and has remained open to all FischTank members. That being said, we have made a more concerted effort of late to bring in our non-NYC-area team members, namely by flying (or training) in those out-of-towners on an every other month basis. Otherwise, our NYC-area team members have been asked (but not mandated) to spend one day per week in the office. Thank you again for bringing this up so I can clarify for future candidates, and best of luck!

Pros

Beyond grateful to have started my career at FT— there are endless opportunities to learn about innovation and policy in the clean tech/energy sector and support the growth of companies doing meaningful work to decarbonize the world. I appreciated having a client-facing role despite being a junior staff member; it is rare to find at most PR agencies but was most definitely pivotal to my professional development. Flexibility in WFH was a huge plus and the rotating 4 day workweek was always respected. Most importantly, FT has quite the ensemble of talented, kind, smart people. Having the opportunity to work alongside them for the past two years has been an honor.

Cons

Could have had been better communication/more transparency on account roles, expectations, and new company policies

Thank you so much for the feedback, it's much appreciated. We do pride ourselves on our culture and work in the climate / cleantech sector as well as greater B2B, and are glad you enjoyed the subject matter. We also very much appreciate your kind words about the team, culture is everything! As we continue to grow we will continue to improve our internal communications, an ongoing work in progress. We may not get it 100%, but we will certainly make the effort to keep everyone on the same page. Thank you again!
