Pros

The people are fantastic and the primary reason I remained at Bamboo Health after the first set of layoffs. My co-workers were respectful and collaborative. Bamboo Health employees tolerate below-market compensation and suffer a leadership team struggling to find the company's identity because they are passionate about revolutionizing healthcare. They offer unlimited PTO (up to 2 weeks in a row), allowing the flexibility to enjoy life outside work.

Cons

Don't come to work here. This company is not going to last. They perform seemingly arbitrary annual layoffs and promise it will not happen again each time. If you choose to work at Bamboo Health: You will be gaslit, Have few opportunities for upward mobility, Earn a salary 15-20% below market, Have enough projects for 2 FTEs with little strategic guidance, Pay high premiums for basic healthcare, Receive worthless stock options, If I'm being fair, you will lose your job during the next round of layoffs. So, don't bother.

Pros

My onboarding experience has been excellent so far. The caliber of well-rounded professionals and clinicians makes Bamboo an exceptional partner to those we serve. The technology stack is impressive, and—just as importantly—the people are welcoming, down-to-earth, professional, and truly GSD. What continues to excite me most is the direct alignment between what we deliver and how we scale across the entire health ecosystem. Patient outcomes improve by default because this company listens closely to its customers, understands real-time needs, and turns actionable data into meaningful impact.

Cons

I can't think of any right now.

Pros

The benefits are really good.

Cons

Opportunity for promotions is very minimal and there is no consistency in career levels across the company. They defined job levels last year but have never described what those levels mean.
