Vantaggi

I learned a ton while working at Capstrat. I had an awesome manager, who was there to encourage me to learn new skillsets and pushed to have me promoted. The office space is gorgeous and days went fast because there was so much going on.

Svantaggi

I've never received so many nasty emails internally in my career. Account services had no understanding of how websites were built, and overpromised to clients at the expense of the development and design teams. When there was a problem with a project, instead of teams coming together to find a solution, there was a bunch of finger pointing and blaming between account services, design and development. There was a particularly nasty employee running part of account services, who had the relationship with our biggest client -- Blue Cross Blue Shield. She set a totally negative vibe, literally threw temper tantrums during meetings and trained the young account managers to be nasty to project managers and digital producers. It's such a shame because it has such potential to be a great company, instead of doused in negativity and blaming others. Unfortunately, the managers relationship with our biggest client was so strong, leadership refused to reprimand or demote them.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
