Bloomspot Reviews

Pros

- Innovative and collaborative team where ideas are heard, considered and implemented - Everyone is approachable throughout all management layers, including the Executive Team - Competitive and generous compensation for talented sales individuals and opportunities for career growth - Offer a great merchant and consumer facing product and represent a brand that provides a real marketing solution - Fast paced, start-up environment with a unique, fun culture - Every day is different

Cons

- Office layout is very open and can sometimes promote distractions - Systems and processes throughout the entire organization would benefit from more optimization and additional resources

Pros

Great to be apart of the beginning stages of a start up, great sales experience

Cons

Poor leadership, over-zealous with hiring

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.

Pros

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.

Pros

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

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.

Pros

True opportunity to contribute to product and make a difference Talented, dynamic and fun co-workers Merchants really appreciate the customers we send them

Cons

Erratic growth and retraction was stressful and distracting Poor healthcare coverage

Pros

1.Visibility of work is high 2.Cool to see what you do gets released to public, very gratifying 3.Most talented and drive group of ppl I've ever worked with 4.Information given to the employees is unfiltered and transparent 5.Get fully exposed to how creative ideas are born, fine tuned and then executed

Cons

1.Office layout can be noisy and somewhat distracting 2.High pressure environment. Almost everyone is smart and hardworking, which creates a competitive atmosphere 3.Company had rapid growth, hard to move around/ change divisions 4.Expect to work long hours in crunch time

Pros

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.
