Pros

Populus Group prides itself on being different, particularly when it comes to teaching staff how to be authentic and cultivate constructive conflict to make the company better. As someone who is particularly outspoken, I was grateful for the coaching and opportunities to learn how to more effectively communicate and express my ideas. I also worked closely with employees of all tenure and levels, which is an experience employees are rarely afforded at large companies. There were also many benefits and tools I took advantage of to expand my skills, such as books or tuition reimbursement. Management expects a lot out of employees in terms of time and performance. Most of the time this motivated me to try harder, while other times it left me feeling overworked and unheard. Overall, I had an amazing experience working with passionate people who gave me many opportunities to try new things, make mistakes, and have fun along the way.

Cons

It's a challenging environment to move up in because there is no traditional "ladder". This was an environment I thrived in because I knew where I wanted to go and was driven enough to forge the path. For others who needed more guidance, or who hadn't discovered their true passion it was challenging because the next step wasn't obvious.
