Excellent Company, Wonderfully Managed - Avis employé Associate Keybridge Communications

KBC invests in associates' professional development and prioritizes team culture. Lots of great on-the-job learning, very collaborative environment. Associates can earn high levels of independence and client management experience early in their careers. Great benefits package as well!

As with most PR firms, work loads can be demanding and not always evenly distributed. You can expect to stay late from time to time, but management is helpful re-distributing work where needed. Because it's a small firm, there are limited opportunities for growth within the company -- the turnover rate is pretty consistent.

Keybridge empowers its team to engage with a wide range of clients and policy issues. Everyone at the firm demonstrates a remarkable level of intelligence and -- more importantly -- humor and empathy. It's a professional environment that encourages collegiality and guides team members to achieve their potential with strong leadership. This is an ideal landing zone for anyone who enjoys writing about or engaging with policy from multiple angles. The salary is good when you factor in the sheer number of paid vacation days and other benefits -- like company-sponsored happy hours and dinners that occur frequently. The education you receive from arguably the best op-ed writers on the planet also constitutes a form of compensation.

None. There was never a single day when I disliked this job -- and that's not any hyperbole. It doesn't even feel like a job if you are innately interested in writing and policy -- or if you simply enjoy talking to people.
