The Raben Group Reviews

Toxic (and I mean toxic) management, complete lack of transparency and consistency when it comes to promotions, raises, work from home protocols, and workload expectations. It's a miracle I lasted almost 4 years, but my mental health really took a toll. There is A LOT of good ol boys club energy, which is ironic for a "progressive" firm. I saw another post describing it as "bizarre." Spot on. My fav example: a male manager "jokingly" insinuated in front of my whole team that the only reason I successfully got meetings scheduled with republican congressmen for a client was because I "am young and pretty."

Commission-based pay scale based on how many accounts you work on and if the principles don't like you, then you won't get to work on a lot of projects, which equals no money. Profit sharing is not transparent, so you really don't know how much you are getting paid until the end of the year. Hard to navigate culture where the socially awkward cofounders are in charge of everything, no matter your title or skillset. No formality to anything. Also, their hiring strategy is to hire the children of the rich and famous for the plum positions that don't require much effort, and then hire people who are out of work with no powerful family-connections to come in do the heavy lifting.
