Rapid deterioration driven by fragile male leadership - Consultant Atticus Communications Employee Review

- Opportunity to move up and be promoted very quickly, began as an intern and within a few months was promoted to Client Executive - Served as a launchpad to my career, I am now in news/broadcasting due to my experience at Atticus - Chance to work with incredible global clients, including renowned tech firms, charities, and foreign governments - The client teams are small which allows for greater participation - voices are heard no matter your position, I was very involved both as an intern and Client Executive - The co-founders have an open door policy and are very welcoming, the structure of the company is pretty flat so it is very easy to get your voice heard - Great social life, the partners will pay for staff nights out and there are different social groups you can participate in. Loved that there is a good work / life balance - Diverse working environment, as a young Muslim female of Arab/North African and Eastern European heritage, I felt very valued and welcomed which is not always common in this industry - I loved my time at Atticus and would recommend working here if you have a passion for politics, public affairs, and comms!

- No cons, it is a dynamic and busy working environment so just prepare to work hard and it will pay off

- Paid internship - Some junior consultants were pleasant to work with

- Cliquey - No diversity (except the interns) - Poor feedback - Blatant favoritism - No real learning as it wasn't a proper internship: seniors were also visibly annoyed when asked for clarification on something I wasn't taught about
