Cons

- Absolute waste of time - No vision , structure , guidance - Brand partners who believe they rule the company however are simply salesmen. - Might as well bury your head up managements arse they seem to enjoy the feeling.

Don't make the same mistake I did

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

Good environment for young people who maybe don't mind being underpaid for the opportunity to work with global organisation. Working from home sometime if needs be, free lunch on Thursday and beer on Friday. "Exposure" to new tech.

Cons

Not a place for long term stable career. Redundancy heigh rate (sucked around 10 people before Xmas "to keep the momentum going"). Groups of people controlling projects, getting rid of the ones standing on their way. Not really interested in your skills at all and what you have learnt from the company. "Untouchable old-timers". Lots of going on behind closed door, secrets. Lack of projects management, kids being in charge of serious staff. "We deliver" that's their motto and bunch of other socialists ideas you have to internalise for your next PDR. Shares, which I will never see in exchange for smaller salary. By the end of it they want you to sign a legal gag, you could not write a review on this site. So it turns out to be a cheap contracting rather than perm opportunity after all. Very disappointed.
