Pros

CEO truly cares Very healthy work culture Supportive Co-workers Excellent opps to learn and grow They won't make you work with awful clients

Cons

Small - You have to be open to change. This is good and bad. PTO allotment is less than most companies I have worked at. Flexible work hours and healthy daily work-life balance help balance this out.

Thank you for your excellent review and for recognizing the positive aspects of working at Searchbloom. I'm thrilled to hear that you appreciate our work culture, the support from your colleagues, and the opportunities for growth and development. Ensuring that our team feels valued and supported is a top priority, and I'm glad to see that this resonates with you. I understand your observation about the challenges that come with being a smaller company, including the need to be adaptable to change. This agility allows us to innovate and improve continuously, but I recognize that it can also be challenging at times. Regarding the PTO allotment, thank you for bringing this to our attention. While we strive to maintain flexibility and a healthy work-life balance daily, we realize that PTO is a crucial component of this balance. We will review our policies to see how we might enhance our benefits to better meet the needs of our team. Thank you once again for your feedback. Your satisfaction and well-being are crucial to our success, and your insights help us make Searchbloom not just a great place to work, but a place where everyone can thrive. Warmest Regards, Cody Jensen CEO, Searchbloom

Smartest collective team you could hope to work with. There is a lot of support because everyone is so knowledgeable.

Remote work makes it tricky to develop a company culture, though this team does as good of a job as they can.

I appreciate you taking the time to share this. You’re right, the collective talent at Searchbloom is what makes this team exceptional. Collaboration and support have always been part of our DNA, and it’s great to hear that stood out during your time here. Remote work has definitely changed how culture is built, and we continue to invest in ways to stay connected through intentional communication, small group initiatives, and in-person team events. Thank you for helping shape that along the way and for contributing to the team while you were here.

Pros

- Great people. Genuinely so talented and caring, even if not in the same department. - Solid client list. - Remote flexibility cannot be beat. - Fun activities / prizes / benefits.

Cons

- Micromanaging about time tracking even when deliverables were completed. - Try and establish a sense of safety or comradery with you but will not have your back when you need it the most. - Passive aggressive management. Not sure if this is age or inexperience, but they will not give it to you straight (even when you're gone). - Not enough outward praise across departments. They seem to focus on a few who they like and keep highlighting them. - Shifting workload

Thank you for taking the time to share both the positives and the constructive feedback. The team, the remote flexibility, and our partner-client roster are things we genuinely care about, and it is meaningful to see them recognized. I want to address a few of the other points directly. On time tracking: hourly tracking is standard practice across most digital marketing agencies, not unique to Searchbloom. It is how we scope SEO, PPC, and ongoing optimization work accurately, allocate analyst capacity across partner-clients, and tie deliverables to actual effort and outcomes. It exists to protect both our partner-clients and the team, not to scrutinize individuals. On shifting workload: the nature of agency work means priorities adjust as partner-client needs evolve, new campaigns launch, and performance data dictates where attention is most valuable. We work to manage that with clear ownership and proactive communication, and your feedback is a useful reminder that we can keep improving how we signal those shifts. On leadership and feedback flow: I value candor, and we work to build a culture where direct conversations happen in both directions. When performance concerns are raised, they are guided by what is fair to the individual and to the rest of the team. Those conversations are difficult, and I recognize they are not always received the same way they are intended. We will continue working on how recognition and feedback move across departments. I am grateful for the time you spent at Searchbloom and the contributions you made. I wish you the very best in the next chapter of your career. Cody Jensen Founder & CEO, Searchbloom
