Pros

- my team and most coworkers have been the kindest and most supportive of any position that I've held - company always tries to plan events for people to come together (company kick-off, paid dinners, etc.) - decent benefits package

Cons

Bombora went through 2 layoffs last year without much of an indication from executive leadership that layoffs would even happen or that the company was on shaky ground in terms of finances We're currently undergoing efforts to achieve profitability by ~June, and it's involved a lot of change and much more responsibilities in my day-to-day work that didn't exist when I first joined The company prides itself on "grow yourself here", i.e., stay with the company and you'll be promoted to a higher position. That's definitely not happening for who knows how long. Instead, they recently promoted a bunch of people by giving them more senior job titles without any increase in compensation They took away 401k match Despite taking on more work and to a higher degree than the rest of my team, my manager has not shown any real interest in discussing at least a change in my title Honestly, I'm looking for a new job right now because I just don't believe Bombora is going to be successful long term. I would not recommend applying here unless you have a solid savings account

Pros

I have been working at Bombora full-time (More than 2 years) This company has changed for the worst. What used to be a startup with great promise has crumbled into a toxic environment. I have been with bombora for years and am looking for any way out! The culture is oppressive. Many early employees have left or are looking to leave.

Cons

No growth trajectory Poor management No ongoing education No breakfast or lunch provided No 401K Awful environment that destroys teamwork

Pros

At its core, Bombora has smart people and a product with potential. There is also a flexible remote structure (in theory) for anyone who hasn't joined in the last year.

Cons

I’m compelled to share some hard truths about the internal dynamics that are increasingly difficult to ignore. While the company presents itself as values-driven, with a strong emphasis on collaboration, respect, and trust, the reality on the inside tells a different story. Leadership has become increasingly cliquey, creating an environment where visibility and success seem more tied to personal alliances than to anything else. It’s disheartening to watch talented, thoughtful individuals sidelined, second-guessed, or even let go, simply because they’re not part of the “inner circle”. Despite being a fully remote company on paper, the new leadership team has quickly and quietly shied away from that model, now hiring almost exclusively NYC-based employees. This shift has created a stark divide between in-office and remote staff, intensifying the already cliquey dynamic and further marginalizing those who aren’t based in New York. What’s more, job descriptions make no mention of required time in the office, yet new hires have complained privately, that they are being informally pressured to be onsite two to three days per week. More troubling is the pervasive tone of disrespect that is often brushed off as "directness" or "urgency." I've witnessed numerous instances where colleagues were spoken to in ways that crossed the line: demeaning, dismissive, and unprofessional. Unfortunately, this behavior doesn’t seem to be the exception; it’s becoming the norm and as new hires join in, they quickly follow suit. Adding to the concern are recent operational decisions that feel wildly disconnected from the company’s mission and values. Strategic moves are made with little transparency or input, and the rationale behind them often leaves teams confused and demoralized. It’s hard to trust leadership when their actions consistently contradict the collaborative and employee-centric culture they claim to champion.
