Overall decent experience
Jul 27, 2016 - Account Executive in San Francisco, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great to be apart of the beginning stages of a start up, great sales experience
Cons
Poor leadership, over-zealous with hiring
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
They knew how to hire. Despite rampant mismanagement at the top, Bloomspot had assembled a ground-level team of exceptional individuals who bonded easily and worked well together. i wasn't there long, but I made several lifelong friendships there - everybody did.
Cons
Literally everything else. The work/life balance was appalling, management often behaved inappropriately, and even at a distance (i was a Creative there) it was obvious that the founders were totally delusional about money, resources, and their own product.

Great place to work when things were great. Had multiple rounds of layoffs so it was not fun then.
Mar 7, 2015 - Marketing Manager in San Francisco, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
always attracted very talented people. great location. good food. what was great about this place is that it was fantastic to work during the good days when people were not being laid off.
Cons
no new ideas. just copying other companies to try to make money will only take you so far. multiple rounds of layoffs certainly didn't help.

Nightmare of a job
Jan 13, 2015 - Account Executive in San Francisco, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great co-workers, lots of food and snacks, in the bay area, walking distance to coffee.
Cons
Crazy management, they made promises they could not keep. Always changing policies, goals. Very unstable environment.

Pros
smart, nice people. great perks. good office vibe.
Cons
consistently directionless, lost little puppy
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
There were definitely good moments at Bloomspot. The people were always great; hard-working, motivated, intelligent. During the peak times, it was a fun although exhausting experience. I learned more in those few months than I ever had.
Cons
Ultimately, it wasn't to be. The industry as a whole is dying, and there was no difference there. Leadership was never the best, and often made shortsighted decisions that would hurt in the long term. However, it ultimately would not have mattered.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★

Great People, Company had wrong priorities
Feb 6, 2013 - Anonymous Employee in San Francisco, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The people are great. Flexible hours, some catered food. Overall the company has a good "feel" and culture. The company is small enough to get access to the high-level executives.
Cons
Way too much prioritization of the "short-term". The company constantly focuses to hit THIS month's numbers without any regard to next month. Sales compensation structure often doesn't coincide with the company's ultimate goals. Tech resources & capabilities are way behind industry-standard.
