Vantaggi

Pretty good company events Decently stocked kitchen Good health benefits Smart colleagues If you’re just starting out in PR you will learn a lot quickly

Svantaggi

Very low pay for enormous amounts of work Long hours and judgement from colleagues if you try to stick to normal hours Toxic culture of constant stress and internal competition - often saw colleagues crying in the office Lack of support, training, or direction from HR and management Lack of diversity Co-founders that are out of touch, offensive, or both Cliquey culture Constant turnover due to general employee dissatisfaction Only one way of doing things - if it’s not the “LaunchSquad way,” it’s the wrong way Inefficient workflows and constant, unnecessary fire drills Unclear and lengthy promotion structures driven by favoritism Very poor team staffing No annual bonuses

Vantaggi

- Smart, interesting people work here—I loved almost all of my coworkers - Fun company culture - Great benefits - Opportunity to work with some amazing clients; “change-the-world companies” isn’t just a marketing gimmick - You will learn a LOT, and fast. You had the chance to try out many different kinds of work - Relatively fast promotions if you’re a high performer - Dedicated mentorship program is a big perk

Svantaggi

- The workload is frequently overwhelming, and management just tells employees to learn to “juggle” or prioritize better (i.e. figure out which tasks to continually punt to the next day) instead of treating it as a structural issue - No centralized PM system or source of information means employees spend a lot of time chasing information and manually updating a mix of spreadsheets, Slack dashboards, Google Docs, etc. - No shared templates or hub of “good” examples to work from. Every team invents their own standards, workflows, templates. Not only does this sacrifice efficiency but also makes “good work” arbitrary; leadership frequently moves the goalposts - Junior employees are often “voluntold” for work with little regard for their bandwidth. Outright saying “no” to any projects is essentially unheard of - No bonuses; verbal acknowledgements abound, but employees are rarely given material acknowledgement of work well done - Low pay (but typical for an agency environment)
