Pros

You can expect to work with a team of talented, witty and ambitious people. If you are looped in with the right team and right manager, you will also be able to work on some great projects.

Cons

The firm supports a competitive spirit, but it does not necessarily support a collaborative environment. You have to get in there, dive in and hope to fit in. If you don't, it will affect your day-to-day interactions, mobility within the company and the projects you are assigned. In terms of skill, you can learn a lot there, but not when it comes to new campaign models. They have built a solid strategic planning model they can teach from, but it is too static. If you are a person that has more experience in creative/grassroots environments, it may not be for you.

Pros

Spitfire is absolutely a comms bootcamp. You get to jump into real work right away, and will learn a ton both in terms of working on any and all social justice issues, and all types of communication strategies. Managers are really invested in letting you learn new skills and care about your wellbeing. Staff get a managers that they meet with each week, and they are in charge of cultivating your feedback and recommending you for promotion, so you have an advocate looking out for you and giving you advice. Teams are ready and willing to step in and support people when they're having family, health, or personal issues. Spitfire clients are doing incredible work, so even when a client is difficult to work with (which doesn't happen super ofter), it helps to be in agreement with their overall cause/mission.

Cons

Spitfire is absolutely a comms bootcamp. You will work really hard, and the work moves quickly. Spitfire is challenging for people who aren't good at asking follow up questions about assignments or struggle with prioritizing a ton of different tasks/clients.
