Pros

The people who work at blur Group are all amazing; smart, ambitious, great at what they do and good to hang out with in and after work. It's a really good concept and blur Group could be a great company - if managed properly.

Cons

Almost shocked by the reviews below, I really cannot recommend working for blur Group to anyone. The company is micro managed by the C-level, which consists of mostly arrogant and deluded people. Opinions or ideas from anyone else are not appreciated and will not be listened to. blur Group makes you work long hours without giving anything in return. Coming in late 5 minutes (after working in weekends and at night) or leaving at 6 is being frowned upon, you get the minimum amount of holidays (20 days), a low salary and no annual company party or extra's. In a timeframe of 6 months I saw at least 30 to 40 people come and go, with offices shutting down in California and hardly anyone left in the Dallas and London office. There's no appreciation or respect for employees and a strategy is nowhere to be found, it's all about pleasing the investors. Revenue numbers are manipulated and do not give a real view of how the company is doing at all. Do not work for this company... unless you are ready to give up on all of your morals, opinions and ambitions...and love Philip Letts of course.

Pros

It is very refreshing that everyone cares about contributing to the company, our customers and our Experts in a positive way. Leadership gives employees the opportunity to stretch their skills and grow in areas of interest. blur Group is a growing company that values the different backgrounds, experience, talents and interests of its employees. There is a great culture of team-work unlike anywhere else I have worked. You get to learn so much about many different areas of business so no day or project is ever the same.

Cons

This is a growing company so processes are always evolving. This can be a positive because it means that process are constantly being evaluated and changed if need be. If you like processes to be black and white and get frustrated by changes to process, this might present a challenge.
