Frontend Engineer, Blink

Everyone loves their jobs, and everyone is full of energy. I have never worked before in a team where everyone is so passionate about what we're doing. Also, everyone is always happy to help each other out, so you have a feeling that you're a part of this family from your first day within Blink.

Everyone at Blink is an expert in their area. All of us are keen to learn new things and keep up with new trends.

This is a very important aspect for me, and I believe that my opinions are valued from the first day I joined Blink. Also, everyone within the team is keen to get feedback.

No egos & a very collaborative team.

Blink is a communications platform and you can tell! Best communication from any company I've ever worked at, period.

People are always encouraged to reason from first principles

I have been really surprised at how open and honest the whole team have been from day one. This is a culture lead from the top down with the CEO and all employees are generous and willing with their time and knowledge.

This is what attracts me to SAAS based organisations early in their growth. There is a real opportunity to be part of the 'Blink Story' and my role is dynamic and varied. I'm given autonomy and trust and I'm excited for my future here.

Blink is a product that has some competition but it stands out in a couple of key ways. Firstly the UI/UX is incredible and makes the application intuitive and easy to use, and the people are genuinely committed to not only the company's success but the partnerships with clients

The Blink solution is consistently getting better and I have found so many customers that benefit from using the platform. I work in sales and business development.

I've been able to work in many different areas (customer success, sales, marketing, product) and learn more about these roles.

The Blink team is made up of good people. They respect each other's work and we are all aligned with making a great solution.

This is something I feel strongly about having joined from a business which was very ridged. Blink are extremely open to new ideas and give you the rope to try things and if necessary fail/learn. A HUGE motivator for me.

The motto here is "Fired Up" (For context search Obama fired up on youtube. I haven't met a single person who isn't completely fired up about Blink. everyone loves it and enjoys working hard as a result.

Blink is a technology that genuinely makes peoples day to day lives better. We help people communicate with colleague more easily, help them feel part of something and help them have a voice within organisations that are traditionally very secular. Exciting stuff!

I've never before worked in a team where every single individual is this passionate about what we're trying to build. We love a challenge, we run with it a deliver excellence with a smile on our face followed by the best team celebrations!

We've built a tool that is transforming the working lives of hundredss of thousands of people around the world. People that have historically been forgotten and left behind and now being given the support they deserve and we're a major part of that. The feedback is overwhelming and we're only just getting started!

We're going through a period of rapid growth and it's of utmost importance to us that as we grow in numbers we also grow a diverse workforce. If you can bring a new perspective, energy, and you love what we're doing, we'd love you to join us.

We are all learning every day from each other and from our roles! When I first started at Blink I was introduced to everyone and I really got to know each person's role and responsibilities. I asked at least a million questions in my first few months and everyone went out of their way to help me find my feet. We're incredibly collaborative and supportive of one another, and if there's any external training you'd like to do or feel you need, all you have to do is ask.

Autonomy is vitally important to us. We hire people not only based on skill and experience but also on their ability to own their area and run with it! We're growing and evolving so rapidly that you need to adapt at speed, and the only way we can do this together is by having full trust and respect in what each individual does. There's no micro-management here! We want people to challenge, improve, and inspire us.

Everything that we do on a day-to-day basis is ultimately to make the work lives of frontline workers easier, more engaging, and most importantly to give them a voice. We are very customer-centric and our end-users are at the forefront of every decision we make. As a company, we are all working towards the same goal to improve employee engagement, employee communication, and employee happiness.

I love working at Blink because the work we do is meaningful. We are making the lives of frontline workers better and the feedback we get from our customers is so rewarding.

Blink is at the forefront in providing digital solutions to deskless workers. The whole team is aligned to this goal and the aim of being the No.1 Employee App for Frontline workers.

As we grow as a team we are 100% focused on making Blink an inclusive place to work for all.

If you're good, you'll quickly float to the top! You'll be handed plenty of opportunities to prove yourself from day 1, and they won't stop coming.

There's genuinely no hierarchy here – everyone is on the same proverbial page. I speak to junior team members and the CEO with the same frequency, and there's no one who feels out of bounds, for anything. This nurtures a real sense of openness that I've not experiences anywhere else; I never feel afraid to get it wrong or ask silly questions, which in turn makes me much better at my job.

There's 0 micro-managing here; in fact, the opposite. You'll be onboarded, given regular checkins, etc., but in general you'll be trusted completely to get things done without much intervention. That's empowering! I've been able to lead major projects, present ideas and much more in my first few months.

Everyone in the Team is enthused by our mission to engage and empower frontline workers. Everyone helps each other out and we celebrate wins as a Team. We have adapted to working remotely during Covid-19 and still find ways to build bonds, but I'm sure they'll grow even stringer once we're all able to meet up again and charge off everyone else's energy.

Frontline workers are disconnected from their employers and workplace technology, yet they are the highest proportion of the workforce and often are working in jobs that are critical to society. Developing powerful yet intuitive technology for this proportion of the workforce is truly satisfying.

The team works hard to deliver new features for customers as quickly as possible. Whilst the team works hard we're also rewarded for it - and there is a good work-life balance.

Everyone is responsible for their own workload, if you find a better way of doing something you can just do it, you don't have to ask permission. Our job is to improve the digital experience, and that is true for our own processes too!

In two years time we have done amazing work which is making the company grow at an incredible speed, which would have never happened without the team's effort. Our growth speaks wonders about our team.

The product is expanding incredibly fast, new features coming out almost every month.. It makes the QA role very fun. There is always something new to get your teeth into!

There are so many interesting technical challenges you come across, each of them a great way to gain knowledge in a new field.

You're given autonomy on how to run your day-day and are able to input into how the product should work.

The work you do makes a difference in peoples (work) life and it's great to hear feedback from our users on how we can improve things even more!

Autonomy to be able to bring in exciting projects, interesting ideas and test new technologies and have them slotted into the product and roadmap. We're always encouraged to think outside the features and bring new ideas. It feels like our product as much as it's the customers.

Loads of extra stuff for wellbeing, ski holidays, yoga classes, company holidays, walks around the UK. Also credits to use on general wellbeing outside of work as well as private healthcare so all the benefits that comes with that. A nice social culture on top of that too.

Free to join any meetings, the CEO and everyone else is always incredibly honest and open when asked about the companies inner workings and what's going on. We have fortnightly catchups with the whole company to keep everyone on the same page.

Everyone is encouraged to contribute their own ideas, no matter what position they hold within the business.

The enthusiasm and energy within the Blink family is infectious!

The Blink rocket ship is going full speed ahead to infinity and beyond.

Great to team to work. Challenges are a pleasure not a pain!

Doubled in size in the last 8 months.. and will again.

Massive scope to grow.

We've built what is a technologically complex product, with a small team of people. Due to the size of our team we've had to be cunning with approaching problems and pragmatic with our approach to delivering meaningful changes to the product in a timely manner.

There isn't anyone in the team that drags their feet, we're all very open to discussion with each other and there's a lot of knoweldge to be shared.

Our product is actually one of a kind, it's fun to build and develop. There is always a plan for the immediate future, and goals for where we think the product might be in a year or two's time. These goals move as we learn more about the problems we're trying to solve.

Blinks app is amazing and its therefore unsurprising that the company is growing incredibly fast.

Our customers are our biggest advocates and this is the fuel that is enabling Blink to grow at lightning speed! The management team is fantastic and the passion to grow the business is crystal clear!

I know it is probably a cheezy thing to say but its the honest truth... my colleagues are not just peers that I work with on a day to day basis, they are truly friends. Yes, we work very hard as a team but we also spend a lot of time socializing both at work and outside of work. This is something that everyone enjoys and is embedded in the company culture.

Everyone is super friendly and welcoming.

The company offer lots of professional zoom fitness classes as well as weekly 121 check ins with your line manager to ensure you're happy with your work

Constant access to managers so lots of communication. They get involved with the team activities, sit with the rest of the team etc. Easy to check in with managers and they will always check up on your development.

Everyone at Blink is an expert in their field. We love to share our knowledge across teams, to make sure we are the best at what we do.
