Pros

SS+K has clients that matter, like Planned Parenthood and Emily's List. You get to make an impact through your work and it can feel like a liberal paradise. The people are really amazing.

Cons

No process. 7 partners make it hard for the simplest decision to be made. A lot of great ideas get killed because of too much partner micro-management.

Pros

A great place to learn, collaborate, get experience working across marketing functions, grow or transition your career ... people here come from all corners of marketing and it shows in the comprehensive approach the team takes to its work. Everyone's perspective is valued and you'll learn a ton just from working with this cast of characters. Meaningful work for clients who are real game-changers in their fields. The partners are really involved in the accounts - it's impressive. There aren't any egos getting in the way, just hearty discussion on how to make really smart, effective work. In general, the people here are really down-to-earth. It's a roll-up-your-sleeves, everyone's-opinion-matters work environment. A really great work-life balance is possible here. Refreshing to find in this industry.

Cons

Especially during training and onboarding, there's a lot of ambiguity here. If you're a real self-starter, though, you'll take that as a growth opportunity. People are always willing to help, answer questions, etc. The vacation and time-off policies could probably be better. The incentives here are still pretty basic and traditional.
