Bloom Consulting Group Reviews

Heather (The CEO) has some serious stress issues. This manifests itself in a command and control management strategy. She has no trust in her employee's ability to self organize and execute their tasks. There is a complete lack of transparency on her part which doesn't work in a company so small. You won't be taken seriously if you're not considered 'senior. She has pretty questionable values. ex: she will fire you, tell you to spend two weeks training your replacement and order you to keep it secret. She chooses to loudly chew people out rather than deal with things professionally. Every question is an accusation. She is penny wise pound foolish in her people and business. Expect an insultingly low offer and cheap equipment. There is no sick time policy. If she knows you're sick, she'll order you to go home and dock your pay. She will consistently ask you to work during your scheduled vacations. Be sure to ask for the employee agreement before you accept any offer. It's full of unpleasant catches and gotchya's.

You are expected to work full time for the customer and if you are not on a billable engagement you have to make the time up. This means you could be working a couple hundred hours of "free" overtime if you don't get on an engagement. Benefits are bare-minimum. Don't expect to get to take vacation, Heather takes it back to make up for your "bench" time. Most people come straight out of college and leave in a year for a 50% pay raise. I was so happy to leave to go to work for a real consulting company and not have to deal with Heather's BS anymore.
