Pros

While it might be cliche, the caliber of people at Upstatement is a huge draw. Every single person is thoughtful, engaged, self-aware, kind, and doing their best. The agency has an impressive client list, "no jerks" client policy, commitment to work-life balance. Great place to contribute to the craft of building a business, with ample opportunity to provide feedback and pilot new ideas.

Cons

The company has grown substantially and is actively working on building out operational support for employees generally and project teams specifically. Senior leadership is stretched across creative and operational work, so the pace of change + improvement can be slower than the timeline an employee might hope for. Diversity across race, gender, and sexuality at senior levels has a lot of room for improvement. Because employees tend to stay here a long time, most diversity increases happen through growth rather than turnover, which slows the rate at which the company broadens its representation and perspectives.

Pros

- Prioritizing work that has a social impact. Even those that aren't, are interesting clients, that you've heard of before. - Great work / life balance. People are actively discouraged from working nights / weekends, which took me a bit to get used to! - Company itself is always looking to improve / grow / evolve. Management listens, and it feels like everyone has a stake / voice in the company's future. Management team is supportive and transparent.

Cons

Sometimes projects can feel rushed, sometimes it is tough to prioritize internal work when faced with a lot of meetings, but these are minor complaints. I know that opening more avenues for career growth is in the works, but sometimes it is easy to feel stagnant.
