Pros

Free lunches and competitive salaries. The non-management employees are mission-driven and dedicated despite performing a thankless job and continue to remain in constant contact and social outings. That's about it.

Cons

Blink's first principle, "Humans First", is a smokescreen to attract dedicated, mission-driven employees. The senior leadership team is cagey at best and dishonest at worst with little to no transparency as to how or why decisions are made or what the funding status is (spoiler: not great, despite repeated arguments of "unlimited funding" - red flag). Many teams have been spun out over the last few years with new managers, directors and middle managers brought on despite a dwindling engineering organization, semi-weekly exits, and quarterly layoffs. There is little to no institutional knowledge left and the longest tenured software engineers have been there for only one or two years despite a six year history. Attrition is CONSTANT. Culture has eroded to the point that there are no holiday parties, happy hours, social events or team building of any kind and many employees are either working under states of extreme fear and stress and stay for the pay and their coworkers or are actively looking for a new job. This place is one of the worst managed businesses I have ever seen of its size.

Pros

- at one point, the engineering team was made up of the smartest people I've ever met - the mission attracts really awesome people - lots of free food

Cons

- the whole mission is about putting "humans first", but senior leadership seems more focused on setting unrealistic deadlines and meeting them than providing users with a reliable product and good experience - senior leadership tends to make business decisions in a very reactive, impulsive way, which leads to chaos and high stress for the teams that have to execute on those decisions - the turnover rate within engineering is extremely high, even for a startup - as senior engineers quit, the company started hiring a lot of junior engineers. the result was that the remaining senior engineers had increased mentoring responsibilities beyond capacity (in addition to holding up codebases with rapidly growing tech debt), and incoming junior engineers didn't have enough mentorship - overall engineering quality/caliber has decreased dramatically in last few years

Pros

No amount of free food is worth the career derailment this place causes if you work here

Cons

This place is a side show. I’ve personally witnessed a high ranking c-suite exec leave his analyst out to dry prior to a board meeting so he could take an impromptu European vacation. They will fire you without any forewarning. Multiple cases of sexual harassment that go unchecked. They lie about delivery metrics, leaving patients waiting for their meds for days. The owners are little creeps too. Honestly do yourself a favor and never work here.
