Pros

Capstrat is full of intelligent, driven , inquisitive people. They come from varied backgrounds in Public Affairs, Public Relations, Design, Interactive, Social Media, Writing/Content, etc. They range from 20-somethings to 60-somethings. They all have one thing in common, they want to help their clients solve critical problems and grow their business. I have seen many people come to Capstrat and really climb the ladder. Not everyone can cut it, because the workload can be demanding, but those that give it their all are certainly rewarded for their efforts.

Cons

You have to look long and hard to find something to complain about at Capstrat. The benefits, compensation, training budget, PTO, health care, etc. are all more than fair. If there were one complaint, it would probably be from some client teams that are having growing pains and are buried under the workload. Those teams will grow though and the load will get lighter when they do. Capstrat is notorious for slowly hiring, because they only hire the best. Seems like a smart growth strategy to me.

Pros

Everyone here has a laser focus on the needs of the clients and is willing to put in the work to make sure expectations are exceeded. You get to meet and interact with people who are at the top of their game and they're always willing to speak with you and teach you things. From an intern perspective I was treated like a regular full-time employee which was refreshing; we didn't have to do demeaning tasks like get coffee/lunch or make copies, we were given work that our team members and clients valued. We had the opportunity to sit down with the president for a lunch and then the CEO for a dinner, that was extremely valuable; they really value the opinions of their interns. We also had meetings with the head of each department so we could get an understanding of how all the departments interact and work together. Finally at the end of the semester, the interns gave a presentation to the entire company, that was really cool and I liked how the company itself valued us as interns and treated us like a full-time member of the team.

Cons

Very fluid. I got the job and by the end of the semester I had seen about a dozen or so team members come and go. It may not be a con for some, but for me it made me uneasy. I think there is lack of opportunities to move up the ranks. It was the general consensus from all the interns that it can get very overwhelming at some times and the learning curve is steep, but everyone is very willing to help.
