Great people, if only the C-level were as great too...

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

THe best reasons is you're given the chance to do as much as you want. Each employee counts and they listen to your opinions and take into account everything you say. You not only get a chance to impress from the CEO to your direct manager if you're good at what you do and show you care they really stand by you.

Cons

The pay is actually pretty good - at least for me. Starting salaries aren't high but if you show ability increases are easy to get. Work is hard and the perks are knowing you did a good job, getting a chance to try all kinds of things, The pace is fast and in the beginning can be hard to keep up but everyone supports and there's pizza every two weeks and pub nights once in awhile

Pros

Seemed exciting at first, very promising.

Cons

All they care about is listing fees, so you never actually help with projects like you were promised when you are hired on. High turn-over rate. In the few months I was there, all but one quit because they weren't getting paid even minimum wage because their projects weren't being completed or approved.
