Good dev team bad management - werkgeversreview Developer bij Bloomfire

Having come from various previous large corporate companies it has been beyond refreshing to land at Bloomfire. The executive team values new ideas and suggestions to streamline current processes as well as new suggestions on new applications that help drive success among the sales team. Although there has been some change w/in the structure of the sales team recently the executive team has been very transparent with why the changes were made and have been open and honest in welcoming any concerns or questions the organization has. They also encourage participation in surveys so that we are able to internally voice any concerns anonymously for those uncomfortable speaking up. Being my first remote role I was not sure what to expect in terms of company culture but Bloomfire does an amazing job in ensuring there is still team building via various remote (and in person for those local) Happy Hours, coffee buddies and get togethers. Bloomfire encourages remote workers to be apart of the Culture Club which helps plan different team building events. Overall it has been amazing to be apart of a company that encourages cross department collaboration and be apart of a company that listens and values the opinions of their employees. I am excited to be at Bloomfire and watch it grow.

I honestly don't have any.

Most of the employees at Bloomfire when I was hired were wonderful. Most of them left either by their own accord or termination/layoffs while I was there.

Bloomfire’s been around for over 10 years but hasn’t (to my knowledge) ever found true product market fit or pivoted in a direction that has been consistently successful. I witnessed a fundamental imbalance of priorities when I was with the company. There seemed to be more internal focus (promotions, advancements of job titles, etc.) relative to how much the company was growing at the time. No one cares if you’re a “Sr. ___ of ___” in a “growing” tech company if the org is in the same place it was a year or two ago. That paired with the micromanagement and a LT that couldn’t get out of their own way made for a less than desirable working environment.
