Unfortunately, the Pros are overwhelmingly outweighed by the Cons. There is a culture amongst senior management of bullying and sexist, lecherous behaviour. A certain member of SLT is often heard shouting orders down the office rather than simply talking politely to people. This is the same person who is mentioned specifically as a contributing factor when the majority of staff are asked their reasons for leaving. Targets are unrealistic and the customer is often promised things with impossible deadlines but if they shout loud enough, priorities are suddenly changed and day to day business is left to suffer. If you don't fit into the clique, forget any chance of progression. There are no progression plans, annual pay reviews or even properly managed objectives. Pay increases and promotions are generally given to those who say yes and don't challenge. Bluecube is like Marmite. People either love the company or hate the company. Unfortunately, I think it is probably in the 75% negative realm. A single change in the SLT membership would likely make Bluecube a far, far better place to work. All that said, each person has different expectations. I confirm that the other negative reviews are an accurate portrayal of Bluecube and that the certain individual mentioned in several reviews is the same person. Maybe you love Marmite, in which case, this may be the place for you, but tread with caution.
