Pros
Blueprint has recently gone through a rebrand form a consulting company to a technology company, and it has been interesting to witness the changes over the years as the company has grown. Any company that experiences the rapid growth as Blueprint has will experience challenges, but they have been far outweighed by the positives. The culture is based on entrepreneurship and it still tries to hold true to that principle even now. There is great camaraderie among teams and across departments even in the face of a fast paced and highly demanding environment. Something I always appreciated about this company is the benefits. Having been a contractor for 5 years with various companies before coming to Blueprint benefits were minimal at best, but generally non-existent. PTO as a consultant was unheard of, and having that at Blueprint was such a blessing. Having access to snacks and beverages at no cost is wonderful, whether i choose to induldge or not. Blueprint encourages personal development through tuition reimbursement. Many opportunities to be involved throughout the company, should you choose to engage. Leadership team is not just made up of executives, based on a pitch process it incorporates different perspectives and employee levels across the company. The team changes every year.
Cons
Work life balance can be very challenging if you don't set personal boundaries. This is not necessarily a con for myself, but I have seen others who experience this: If you struggle with ambiguity and need a structured Point A to Point B career path, Blueprint might not be for you. It still holds to its entrepreneurial roots and is an environment where high performers typically create their path rather than get promoted or pulled up. As with most companies in the country, Paid Maternity/Paternity leave is minimal, but again obviously doesn't apply to everyone.
