Ventajas
-Work is interesting and fast-paced -Colleagues are incredibly smart, driven, interesting, well-meaning, and genuine -The firm is small, so you learn a lot in a small window of time. (i.e. client management, writing, editing) -You can take on clients almost immediately, something almost no other D.C. PR firm offers to new hires. -Keybridge produces the highest quality work, so you can learn a lot from colleagues/superiors. -Upper management is a wealth of career information and they'll offer to connect you to mentors. -Company makes an effort to establish a good culture and social atmosphere.
Desventajas
-Some teams are overflowing with work/working late nights on low salaries, others don't have enough to do. Upper and middle management don't communicate often or well, which can lead to miscommunications about workload. Associates with lower workloads received higher bonuses than employees working until 10 or 11 p.m. Irregular clock-out times were documented during remote work, yet management never addressed them. -Management expects new employees to advocate for themselves but typically doesn't support speaking up in practice. (I.e. convincing management to let associates work from home during COVID-19 was very difficult and they didn't end up allowing it until mid-November even though a handful of employees voiced significant health concerns.) -Feedback, good or bad, is rare. -Upper management is purely male while the associates are women, which creates another level of discomfort when approaching higher-ups with feedback, issues, questions, or concerns.
