Bloosky Interactive Employee Reviews for Web Developer

"Seems great and can be, but be aware..."

What do you like about working at Bloosky Interactive?

"I really liked the people I worked with and my development manager. It was pretty fun most of the time I was there. They spare no expense with technology (as an internet company should) and they know more than most executives do about development. They have a lot of talent managing and guiding development (Mark H. and Ben R.). Very high performance shop and challenging work. Great benefits and compensation."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be yourself and know your stuff. These guys are pretty knowledgeable when it comes to knowing about development. They are a high production, high stress shop and they will ask a lot of you. When telling them what you would like to make, present them with something that takes into account it will be 50-60 hours a week and high stress. Something on the higher end of the spectrum for sure."

What don't you like about working at Bloosky Interactive?

"The upper management/owners are very demanding. I didn't mind it as much because I enjoyed the challenge. The culture of the company has gone through some negative changes that have made it less enjoyable. There is a high turnover rate of employees and if you aren't a favorite of the owners, you are very disposable. Things are over-regulated (like punching in and out as salaried employee). The culture is just very conflicted. There is tension in the air a lot of the time. Some business practices are on the shady end of things."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Show your employees that they are valuable not necessarily with money but with respect. Try to realize that the employees you are dealing with are, in effect, running your company. Keep the important aspects of the corporate culture, but keep the small-company feel where people have relationships with everyone in the company."
