Business Outlook

Pros

The mission. BlueVine solely focuses on providing small businesses with the financial services they need to grow.

Cons

Lack of diversity. The organization is increasingly beginning to look like one demographic. When this issue was brought up, and suggestions of improvement were proposed, such as posting job listings on more diverse job boards for underrepresented populations, a response was provided stating that this would be a risk to the business and that BlueVine needs to hire the most qualified candidates. All diversity statements that the organization makes aren't based on any real data. Unfair HR practices. Personnel across the organization have varying titles despite being the same 'P Level.' To current employees: If you're a P4 and have a 'senior' title, know that you have colleagues at the exact same level with the same experience who have a 'head of' title, and while HR states that the 'head of' title was phased out, the organization continues to hire employees with this title because they can't fill senior-level roles. Below market compensation. People are exiting the organization in droves because they're either receiving below-market comp packages or small and, in some cases, non-existent raises. Employees are beginning to take on interviews elsewhere to see what they're worth and leaving upon finding out they're paid tens of thousands of dollars below market. There isn't much kindness here. People across teams and office locations hold a lot of resentment toward one another. Especially if you work on a technical team, you regularly experience harsh and heated conversations, are talked down to, and are often treated without respect.

Bluevine Response

Thank you for your review. It’s unfortunate to see that you had less than ideal experience while at Bluevine. I'd like to address some of the points you’ve made: * Diversity & representation: Bluevine is very intentional about creating a workplace that reflects the diverse communities we serve. I fully acknowledge there’s more work to be done on that front, however it's important to point out that over the past year we’ve made strides both towards gender representation and URM (underrepresented minorities) representation across all employee levels. * Diversity & hiring: Bluevine definitely seeks to hire the most qualified candidates. That’s exactly why we broadly search for a diverse slate of job candidates. Claiming that diversity would impose a risk to the business is simply incorrect as research has proven time and again that diversity results in stronger company performance. The management team is committed to having a diverse workforce because we believe it is the right thing to do for both Bluevine’s performance as well as to support our community. * Compensation: Our total compensation package, which includes cash compensation, equity, paid time off, and medical benefits, is designed to attract and retain talent. We continuously benchmark our compensation package to the market and we feel our overall rewards package is competitive. * Our employees are instrumental to delivering our important mission of building innovative financial solutions that help small businesses grow. We're proud and thankful to all of our employees and alumni for choosing to be part of Bluevine. If you're open to sharing more, I encourage you to reach out to us through hr@bluevine.com. We’d be interested in learning more about your experience.
