The CEO and founder could very well be the most genuine and kind person I have ever had the pleasure of working for, let alone someone I can call "friend." He is extremely motivated to succeed, but even more interested in helping people grow as individuals within their fields. If I were to summarize my experience as the Director of Organic Search for Blueprint in one word, it would be, "Amazing." I started working at Blueprint after serving as the Director of SEO for a different agency previously located in Norcross. There's a high chance of promotion, but only when you're department head leaves for a higher paying job. You'll "wear lots of different hats," meaning that you will be constantly asked to perform duties that are completely beyond your job description and compensation. They spend way too much time working on "team building" with random personality tests but completely destroy relationships with employees by constantly laying off employees and interns, including breaking internship length contracts. Personal and professional relationships blur lines that should not be crossed at a workplace, where favored employees are forgiven for long lunch breaks and questionable relationships with interns, but employees who are not close to management are reprimanded for anything including casual conversation during work hours. The pay is way below market price and they have incredibly rigid working hours, where you'll be asked to enter every single minute of work you do for a project into a time management system and be asked to clock out for lunch. They're great at bringing in new clients but they always end up not delivering results and the clients end up leaving, often with unpaid invoices that leave the employees high and dry. Management needs to learn what they're doing. The company treats each individual as expendable and it shows (besides the untouchable executive team and their chosen "favorites"). Many interns come and go because of cheap labor opportunities. Harsh deadlines are put on teams with no support because the company is too cheap to hire actual employees. Favoritism and nepotism run amok at this company. An member of upper management who has been there a while and has a close relationship with the CEO will basically bully and say nasty things about every single employee behind their backs with no repercussions. There is also a certain culture that exists at Blueprint that is reminiscent of high school mean girls. They depend on big clients to keep afloat, so don't be surprised if a client is lost and you find yourself worrying about your job security. There's a ton of miscommunication between the departments with the clients, and they lose clients easily. ![]() ![]() The executives don't really know what they're doing. This company has a high turnover rate for a reason.
