Napoleon without the Intelligence - Anonymous employee Blooom Employee Review

Good teamwork environment, small but driven team.

the normal risks that come with working at a startup

Blooom has brought together some very passionate and talented people that not only care deeply about the mission, but are also well equipped to contribute in many ways to the company's success. Blooom is uniquely positioned to benefit from shifts in the investment advice industry because of its focus on leveraging technology to reach the masses at a low cost. It's an exciting place to work and employees have unique and wide-ranging opportunities to contribute that are hard to find, even in the start-up community.

Blooom has been through many ups and downs since beginning in 2014. Leadership changes and layoffs rattled the culture several times and those of us that have been around for a while have certainly learned an invaluable number of lessons along the way. One of the biggest drawbacks of working for any small business is uncertainty. In a fast-paced environment like blooom, it can be hard for some to communicate, maintain transparency, and deal with the constant, often sudden changes, but finding the right people that can embrace change and the risk of the unknown, along with leadership's improved transparency in the last 6 months, has helped and should continue to quite a bit. Blooom's future looks bright.
