Pros

Half day Fridays Generally good coworkers (bonded over the absurdity of senior management)

Cons

Hostile working environment Never know what kind of mood the CEO will be in, which breeds fear High employee turnover Designs are nothing special These excerpts from other reviews are laughable, not to mention threatening in nature: "If you are up to the task." "If you just want to screw around all day, you will not survive here." "You get out what you put in." The fact is that the work is not all that challenging (no different than any other interiors firm). Poor senior management and an atmosphere of intimidation is what makes people leave.

Message from Design Blitz (not an accounting and tax company): We live in an age of online reviews – work, food, movies, everything. Regardless of the accuracy (or inaccuracy) of these reviews, we generally value the experience of other humans, and we’ll read what someone else has to say. But experiences are personal, we rarely know anything about the person writing the review (particularly anonymous reviews), and we don’t know what their motivation is. I’ve found that curious, thoughtful, creative people ask questions. They keep reading even when they find information that supports or challenges their opinion, and they experience things for themselves, because there’s always more to know. This is how we grow, and how we learn. So, in that spirit, if you read a bad review about blitz on here (we’re not perfect – no organization is), just reach out. Ask us questions about it. This way you can make an informed decision of your own. It could be easy to let other people that you don’t know, and may never meet, make important career decisions for you (or decide what you eat, or what you watch) but I don’t recommend it. You might miss out on something that works for you but didn’t for someone else. So, pick up the phone, or send us an email. The conversation may go something like this: “hey – I’m interested in the position you’re advertising, but I read some bad reviews about your company on Glass Door and it’s making me have second thoughts about applying. Can we talk through it, as it may influence my final employment decision”. We will be happy to talk with you about your concerns, what we’ve been doing and continue to do, to make it a great place to work. We can also talk about how you can help us with that. We’d love to hear from you. Seth Hanley, Founding Partner.

Pros

Those with tenacious attitudes will find a lot of fulfillment working at Blitz

Cons

Not the best fit for junior employees; to do it better and faster, you have to be able to do the work first.

Blitz isn’t perfect, but we continue to work hard to be a great place to work, that also does great work. And to be a place where we speak to / about each other with respect. Rather than rage reviewing a strong female leader online (anonymously of course), I recommend communicating with us directly any time (assuming that you really are a 'current employee') using the many channels available to you at Blitz to do so. We want you to be happy! I'd encourage you to speak with us to develop a solution. Seth Hanley, Partner at Blitz.
