Pros

Co-workers are professionals; managing partners look out for themselves and clients, not their team members.

Cons

FINN Partners is many small firms each focused on one industry — a very decentralized operation. Examples: No support for clients from graphic design, digital to grow accounts/bring in new business. All proposal work done by each practice; no clear biz strategy. Salaries cut during pandemic based on how much each group is bringing in, meaning healthcare and public affairs are whole, the rest have salaries cut 20% or more. No raises or promotions during the busiest time ever. Continuous push to do more, more; get paid less. Long hours. Demoralizing for staff. All working from home but no offer to provide reimbursement for desk chairs, office supplies. No recognition of family life stresses during COVID.

Pros

Prioritizes work-life balance and enormous openness to feedback.

Cons

Limited opportunities for growth (I was part of a team that had no promotions in 6+ years, despite the fact that all of them are amazing), DEI façade to "pretend" they're part of a progressive movement (I'm nonbinary, I said this in my application and interview process, and literally no one ever used my correct pronouns, especially my manager who I talked about this with several times), and there's a lot of chaos that folks simply accept as a fact of life rather than something to grow from and improve. There's simply no desire to collaborate for growth—literally one of the most dysfunctional places I've worked at.
