Pros

There's truly nothing positive I can say unfortunately. Perhaps the technology itself but that's me pushing it. Sad truth.

Cons

Where to be begin? Before you consider accepting a job at Blippar, here's a few things to ask yourself... 1. Do you have morals? 2. Do you want to work with management that you respect? 3. Do you have a life outside of work? 4. Do you have a dislike for schoolyard behaviour (gossip, bullying, secret circles) 5. Do you want to be treated with respect? If you've answered 'yes' to any of these questions - you're best to steer clear. If you've answered no then by all means go for it! I have never and will never work for a company as poor as Blippar. Middle management have no leadership skills whatsoever, the whole place is riddled with secret groups and employees have little to no direction. It's tragic. Free lunch once a week is not a reason to stay in this place (to the reviewer before me!). And the free toast and fruit is only given out to keep you from leaving the building. Leaving was the best decision I ever made.

Pros

Shaping a still new born tech industry Working remotely from home Some independence in what you do Travel around the world (if you're part of a particular groups that said, see below)

Cons

No management A lot of secret projects going on that very few have a clue about A lot of internal conflicts and politics due to the lack of management and nobody seems to care about it even though it's killing little by little the company. As previously mentioned here by others and I couldn't have said it better if you are part of some clique/group your opinion will be of a high value otherwise don't even try. Typically if you're not part of this clique and if you don't agree with some decisions and you say it a bit too loud be ready to pack your stuff. Brand partners (just mere salesmen) are still babies having just finished school act like they run the company. Even though it's a (4 years old) startup so instability is quite normal, firing off so many people in so many offices throughout the world at the same time even if they were competent and been here for a long time says a lot about how a company treat its members.
