Pros

The app is geared towards solving a real social problem so attracts a lot of great people.

Cons

I found my time at Bubble to be an extremely tense, upsetting work culture. Those who could were quick to leave for many reasons: -Intense micromanagement -Unprofessional downtalking to employees -Many people took paycuts with the promise of pay reviews when accepting their job offer. -Those who stayed at the company the longest were being denied holiday and work from home requests, while founders were going on extended holidays or not coming into the office in the summer -More experienced hires given entry level tasks that are not always related to job role -lots of people quit without replacements creating stressful workload for people who stay behind - founders regularly change directives and go back on agreed upon budgets making it very hard to hit your performance milestones.

Bubble (UK) Response

Hi There, I’m genuinely sorry you had an upsetting experience during your time here. What you’ve expressed is completely contrary to the culture and environment we want at Bubble. Your feedback is important, it’s been heard and I don’t take it lightly. We’ve been implementing various things recently to make Bubble a great place to work, like private medical insurance, work from anywhere weeks and generally a very flexible hybrid and flex working policy. And nobody has ever been denied a holiday or pay review they were promised. I’m really proud of the fantastic, smart and genuinely decent team we have built here. We really care deeply about everyone. Work can sometimes be tough and there’s no denying we are under pressure to hit certain objectives. People are expected to work really hard here, but that should never mean they don’t feel cared about and well looked after at the same time. I’m really sorry in your case we fell short. I’m always open to hearing your feedback directly too, so please don’t hesitate to reach out. Wishing you only the best. Ari CEO
