Pros

everyone is friendly and always willing to give a hand. my understanding is that there were cultural issues before i started (people being pushed too hard, lack of communication from leaders), but I've been here for 4 months and haven't felt any of that. to me, that's the best sign of all--that a company is willing to grow and change. also we get catered lunch everyday and a whole stock of cereal and bars and fruit and a fridge full of yogurt, oj, etc. I think that's awesome.

Cons

all the usual things about a startup - plans can change quickly, people come and people go. but in general it's fun and solid and a good place to grow as an engineer

Quickly Growing Startup With a Lot of Chance for Impact

Pros

After being here for about 6 months, I've already been able to have a larger impact than I have at other companies after much longer periods of time. It's exciting to work on projects that actually help others, and the pace keeps me on my toes.

Cons

As we've been growing quickly, there are different areas of the company with different levels of tech debt and engineer seniority. There is lots of opportunity to move around, which is good, as each area feels very unique, so some may not be as good of a fit as others.

Pros

The people are phenomenal, the catered lunches is a great perk and saves a lot of employees money, there are great clubs and ways to connect with colleagues. The mission, in theory is powerful and could have changed the world.

Cons

As I mentioned, the mission is great - in theory. We as a company supposedly stand behind the idea that we want to make pharmaceuticals more affordable in an unforgiving healthcare system that likes to beat those who are ill for all they have. Through my experiences and countless others experiences at Blink, you learn quickly that we prioritize patients - aka MEN, who are eager to purchase medications for aesthetic enhancement (such as propecia) or the enhancement of their pleasure (viagra). We hardly think twice about the costs we have, "negotiated," for patients suffering from life threatening illnesses and rely on us for costly medications such as various blood thinners, insulin, and countless more. Our promise to ship medication to patients in a timely manner, OFTEN falls through and packages are lost, arrive in broken shattered bottles, or arrive with incorrect quantities. Most employees would not trust Blink to handle their medications, yet we market how, "wonderful," our service is. When changes are being made on an executive level, employees in other departments are rarely informed until last minute. There is hardly any cross communication between departments. The customer service team in particular is the backbone of the company - anyone who says different is looking with rose colored glasses. Customer service works directly with the patients who we rely on for the business to work, and continue to work. No one listens or values customer service. They are brushed aside, the only department with who are non-exempt, only department with different vacation policies, the lowest paid workers in the company, and they are the only ones who know what's actually working verses what is not. And please don't confuse the customer service managers with actual customer service - they are literally all horrible. Totally disconnected from the team and what the job actually entails. You took calls and supported customers years ago before the business grew, you haven't taken or cared to take the opportunity to experience what the cx side of the business is like NOW. You just delegate, dictate, and sit back and relax. Sort of pathetic.
