      Pros

      Great work environment w/ really cool and smart people. Some very interesting campaign ideas.

      Cons

      I don't have any cons. I would say that I wish I could have stayed on permanently.

        fun place to work; awesome people who are driven to fulfill the mission of the company; competitive pay for summer college interns; great community retention for anyone and everyone who has ever been associated with them

        Cons

        company is still growing and historically experienced lots of turnover due to the relatively young age range of the employees

                      Didn’t get past phone interview but I still see the job posted and the manager is posting on LI like they are desperately trying to fill the position. I’m perfectly qualified. Do I reach back out or let it go?

                      Always remember these when interviewing (based on my experience): - You will not be working with the recruiter you talk to - Large companies = chances are good of you not working directly with the mgr/sup who interviews you. - Small companies = chances are you will work closely with the mgr/sup who interviews you. But, chances are good the team you work with is not on this call - In both situations - ask to meet you direct team, if you can, to get a feel for how things are
