Competitive pay, very generous PTO, and a culture that makes you feel respected
Pros
The folks here are some of the friendliest people I’ve met in the professional world; You can always reach out to the people here with any inquiry – professional or personal – and they will hear you out. It really inspires me to give them my all. They’ll work with you to make sure you’ve got all the information and support you need, and that’s on top of the competitive paycheck (at least in my case) and generous PTO/personal days/sick days; In a recent development, they’ll even give you extra time-off to go get a COVID vaccine. It’s stuff like that, which makes me believe that Finn Partners values me & the other employees. Obviously, it’s not just because they’re generous for no reason; It just makes sense that a happy employee is a productive employee, and I wish more employers could come to that conclusion. Finn Partners is growing like crazy through both acquisitions and new hires; They’re definitely part of the new wave of PR, and we'll be seeing the name a lot more in the coming years. If you want to get involved and don't see a matching open position, reach out; I’ve been told they need good people faster than they can define new roles. As for recruitment, I’m happy to say that I had a wonderful experience with Finn’s HR & Talent Acquisition team members. They won’t leave you hanging as is the case with too many companies, and you can honestly be open with them regarding any questions or concerns; They want to do all they can to help you present your best self to hiring managers.
Cons
In general it's a little tough to get acquainted with priorities, colleagues and office culture during the COVID-19 pandemic. This isn't their fault at all - rather in spite of it - but although HR and everyone else is doing everything they can to make me & other new hires welcome and caught up, I still found myself sitting idle here & there for the first few days at the company, and unsure what to do outside of scheduled Zoom briefings. If you get hired at Finn -- or for any temporarily/permanently work-from-home job -- my advice is to not let the situation break your productivity; Email others on your accounts for busywork or even just materials to review, learn about your colleagues and feel free to reach out if only to say hello, etc. This should be obvious, but in order to succeed in communications during (and after) the Pandemic, you need to be a proactive communicator, and the current WFH situation gives you an opportunity to demonstrate it, so don't miss out.
