Pros
Blur Group’s workforce is made up of many nationalities, and everyone is committed, creative and dedicated. You get to meet and work alongside some highly talented people. Good place to work if you want to experience how to run a business into the ground.
Cons
The business concept is a good one, that’s what attracted me to join the company in the first place, however the business plan is seriously flawed, numbers are massaged to impress the investors, and strategies are changed almost weekly to appease the fantastical aspirations of the CEO. Within a few months of joining new employees realise the lay of the land and as a result staff turnover is high. So high that leaving do’s are not allowed. blur Group aspires to be like Google, with its pizza lunches, background music and open plan offices. Unfortunately it’s more akin to a dictatorship. Depressed staff are even subjected to the CEO’s favourite ‘motivational’ song at full volume every day, driving many to seek refuge in the toilets or car park to escape the insanity.
