Pros

Blue pays well for its talent. A little too well in some cases. Good PTO policies. Blue has hired some excellent talent.

Cons

HR is not about the people but the numbers. - HR requires a minimum percentage of people be put into the low performance trends. This is hard when the process is poor and small teams are high performing. - If you need a remote work agreement HR is all about the business aspect and not the human (i.e. when it’s obvious your in a family situation that temporarily needs to be remote HR focuses on the business case even when your team is fully remote and there is no impact) - There is no recommendation for number of years in a level. This causes employees to expect promotions before they are ready and causes people to then be promoted before they are ready. All this causes reaching the ceiling too quickly, burnout, frustration on the employee and management, and essentially leads to minimal ways out because other companies have expectations in years of experience.

Pros

Exciting company mission and projects. Solid company values and leveling. Solid vacation available on day 1. Talented teams.

Cons

Company is slow to deliver on sometimes overly lofty goals. There doesn’t seem to be clear accountability for delivering results at an organizational level. Company has strong push to work from the office, even when your team is based at other sites. Often, office feels more like a call center.
