Pros

BlueSky does a great job of planning and managing its projects. This leads to very infrequent overtime demands on it employees. The company is filled with some of the best WebSphere Commerce developers I have ever seen. It is a great place to learn about building a commerce site from the ground up.

Cons

The company keeps buying real estate leading, but struggles to give raises. Sometimes it feels like you are working to support the real estate purchasing, then the many layers of non-billable employees, and finally what remains is given to the employees doing the work.

Thank you for your feedback. We do take pride in hiring “the best” consultants on the market and we believe that does indeed lead to high-quality, manageable delivery coupled with work-life balance. For that reason, we hope your experience with us has kept the door open for collaboration down the road. Regarding the real estate feedback, please note that BlueSky does not own any real estate. BlueSky has always leased space for our offices. We have encountered an office move, as well as some lease holder improvements, geared towards addressing operating efficiency over the last couple of years. These exciting developments are necessary to support the continued growth of the business. Additionally, we pride ourselves on bi-annual reviews, which includes career-path objective setting, and performance reviews coupled with annual salary increases. Industry benchmark data helps guide the development of what we feel is a very competitive compensation package. Thank you for allowing us to provide perspective to these topics. ---BlueSky Management

Pros

Cool eCommerce & digital marketing projects Extremely talented colleagues A leader among IBM Commerce consultancies Good pay and benefits A leadership team who cares about its employees Not a lot of travel Flexible work schedules Professional development opportunities Management & Peer recognition for good work or going 'above and beyond' Good 2-way communication and flow of ideas between ownership/leadership and the employees (transparency)

Cons

The company has been growing, but still has a fairly flat organizational structure. That can be good and bad, depending on your preferences and goals. I will state, however, that BlueSky strives to promote from within and place its employees on desired career paths, but advancement into management roles over the near term could be viewed as being somewhat limited.
