Pros
Blue State London is a fulfilling place to do work. The commitment to doing good extends from the client roster (top global NGOs, as well as some interesting niche clients) to a genuine commitment to inclusion & equity. The benefits are pretty solid for the agency sector (unlimited leave, with lots of company holidays in the diary already; generous parental leave; generous pension contributions.) It’s a small team and there’s a genuine invitation to everyone to shape the business, culture and operations of the office. Most of all, you will work with some seriously smart people who will challenge and teach you every day.
Cons
Working with those smart people can be daunting sometimes! It’s a high performing environment so it’s suited to those who want to learn and be challenged. And progression can be hard won in that context. Agency environments always mean putting a shift in, mucking in, and being comfortable switching gears (multiple times a day, in most roles.)
