Pros
Initially there is quite a cool atmosphere at blur, lots of young people from around the world having an adventure, but scratch beneath the surface and the whole business itself starts to look dodgy - no matter home much the 'cool-disruptive-different' mantra is shoved down your throat, you can't help feeling something smells wrong.
Cons
Like being back at school. You get told off if you are a few minutes late, have to wear company T shirts once a week, and cannot move from your desk if investors are coming round. heaven forbid you write the word blur with a capital B! I have never been so patronised professionally in my life. There is blaring music which makes it impossible to concentrate. The office is' ruled' by a small middle management clique who constantly shout across the office to reinforce their playground status - so tiresome. I think Blur is a great place to work if you were bullied at school and haven't been able to move on, which brings us neatly on to the hallowed leader. He is charismatic, and I couldn't help but like him, but my god, what a megalomaniac. He tells you this is 'the coolest place you will ever work' period. Really ? I don't think so. OK, rant nearly over - next big thing ? No, because the staff turnover is so high, and there isn't enough raw talent. Avoid.
