Pros
Some talented people coming from different backgrounds
Cons
I will be frank during my time at blur Management have extremely poor commercial experience in running a business overall, especially when it comes to managing their employees. They micro-manage, pass on the pressure to their teams, are never open to new ideas that can turn into successes and are extremely hard to work with. The CEO lacks leadership, product and entrepreneurial flare that is depressing to watch as the company is close to closing doors. However, management have great sales skills to lie and overhype so will give them that Internally, blur is a "tech company" with a tech culture that has a very bureaucratic system and old school management style. Both clash constantly and lead to turnover, poor employer reputation and a name for itself in the financial markets. The environment has become so toxic that you hardly sense positive energy - everyone looks miserable and worn out Lets not even touch benefits, there is no such thing here - having pizza is the most you will get to show how much they appreciate you. No investment in training and staff wellbeing either. Unless you know how to be extremely fake and sweet talk management too boost their ego, you've got it tough in here
