Pros

Finn Partners acts the part of a top-tier agency when it comes to office perks such as free snacks, breakfast on Fridays and interesting guest speakers. They also have generous compensation packages and summer hours with the rub that you can actually take them.

Cons

With the generous compensation comes serious trade offs. I, for one, was often working upwards to 60+ hours a week including weekends, was on the road for client meetings or pitches at least two times per month. Because the firm is so large and the client base is so diverse, employees who work across client teams (research, digital, creative, etc.) were put in positions to fail more often than they were to succeed because the client teams didn't know or understand bandwidth issues. Finally, this is a good place to work for the younger, single or childless adults but not if you have a young family. The emails (and often work) does not stop and like many agencies you are expected to reply accordingly. Finally, your worth is often tied to how many hours you can bill.

FINN Partners Response

We appreciate you taking the time for this review. We are glad you recognize the value of our benefits as those are important factors in creating a positive work-life balance. Since Finn Partners launched we've become extremely attractive as a firm where like-minded agencies worldwide can join forces. But, when considering any acquisition, the agency's first priority is to continue to maintain its core value of being a "Best Place to Work". By doing so, we can not only expand our talent and client base, but most importantly provide our current staff global opportunities in new practice areas, increase group dynamics and allow for expanding our employees' career growth. That being said, employee satisfaction is key to our decision making process. We will keep your concerns in mind.
