Q&A With Bluebeam Employees

A strict policy is required to work from home more than a one-off time. Management and HR approval is required, but so far is usually given.

Remote work policies are agreed upon when you interview/are offered. It depends on the role and team and if the work can be done remotely/how much in person collaboration is needed. But, if you start in your role with no WFH, you can apply for it through your manager after 1 year to see if it's a good fit for your position moving forward.

Depends on the department and manager, but generally not allowed

Year-end profit-sharing bonus is the best benefit. A nice chunk of change at the beginning of the year.

We offer 100% paid health insurance for US employees as well as other wellness programs like discounted classpass memberships, paid paternity leave, bonus programs, learning and conference budgets and more.

Yes, but it has become very bureaucratic recently, requiring applying and interviewing.

Sometimes, but not often. You and your manager have to fight for every promotion.

Within a few days.

Often every year, but it all depends upon your manager and your manager's manager. From the salary's I see on the people that report to me, there is tremendous salary inequality, and mostly that is down to someone having favored employee status even though they are not great workers.

Casual

None. Everybody is entitled to new parent leave.

That the company was not going to grow and that they had squandered 4 years building a product no one wanted and no one could explain why we built it.

Don't ask questions, keep your head low, do what you're told, don't have ideas that are different from leadership.

There are no company outings.

Usually hearing back from the interview is pretty quick. Often in a couple of days.

3 weeks to start, up to 5 weeks after 5 years of tenure.

Immediately look for another job. You don't know when your department will fall victim to a random layoff.

Generally there is no career growth unless you know someone or are a favored employee.

Higher 401K contribution, or put some of the profit sharing into people's 401K.

Bluebeam offers relocation as part of a signing bonus.

Casual / Business Casual.

No pets in the workplace.

I've had great experiences with HR. That department was brutalized in a layoff right before Christmas 2020. Those that weren't laid off left shortly after.

Leadership has changed a lot in the last year or so. Currently leadership is atrocious, mostly because he believes that everything can be solved by a different cog and the cheapest cog is best.

They think they are innovative, but innovation actually requires shipping said innovations to customers to validate if it was innovative. We don't ship and when we do, we tend not to support the product.

People leading me through the extremely complex source code for the main product.

Every year they hire a handful of interns. They are paid well-enough and a few apply in the future.

Dental insurance provided is pretty typical, and nice to have.
