Pros

Let me start off by saying no company is 100 percent perfect... I've worked in sales for a number of years and definitely know that. With that said, I would finish my selling career here. I honestly don't know why others leave comments saying that management doesn't have our best interest in place... We all just got significant raises in base that makes us highly competitive pay wise... That comment about an executive couldn't be more of a joke. Happenstance that executives knew me by name on my second day? Don't think so! Not to mention the fact that we're making changes that massive inside sales companies have made TO SELL MORE. There's always going to be those lazier people that are always upset about change... If you work hard, it shows here. Very satisfied with what I've been able to produce. Company outlook looks phenomenal, unfortunately there's a lot of current positivities that are happening here and I obviously can't share them (oh yeah the company is completely transparent (how I know things as an AE)). You'll eventually see on the news 😂. Big things happening. All in all, the culture speaks for itself. If I want to have a discussion with one of the founders, it's done. They've dropped everything they're doing to have a far less important conversation with me. My manager has turned into a good friend and is always a resource and never mircromanaging or a burden. I'm learning a ton and look forward to all the learning here. They're highly selective with who they hire and it shows. Phenomenal individuals, I know I've already established life long friends with the people that I'm working with. It honestly doesn't feel like work sometimes. It helps that I like a grind but still, I've gotten tired of a lot of sales positions on the past. If you're thinking about applying here, do it. See for yourself. You don't have anything to lose other than signing on with the top company to work for in Utah. 😂 Guarantee you'll be greeted by a ton of friendly faces that are more than willing to help you out (and trust me, we haven't been told to do so). No I'm not in management, no I wasn't told to write this, but yes I'm a massive fan of BambooHR. Very little compares to it and consider myself so lucky to work here.

Cons

Usual growing pains of any quickly progressing SAAS company? It'll happen at any good company you go to though... I've seen some electronically raising and lowering desks, maybe give those out to everyone in the new building?

Pros

If you’re complacent with being told what to do and are OK with the pay, you will be OK working here

Cons

There might not be enough space for what I have to say. Management is full of narcissist. Little to no accountability or responsibility from management. Management job is supposed to be helping the team and supporting them and learning the job which they extremely lack in. If you are OK with having someone tell you how to do your job that doesn’t know how to do your job then, you’re in luck. When the team was failing to hit quota, their solution was to keep it the same while calling the BDR‘s complacent. Management also failed to recognize that reps were obtaining quota only through going to events. A work colleague of mine gave feedback in a meeting and was later criticized for providing feedback. After that meeting, he was told not to speak up in a meeting like that. Yet they say they welcome feedback. Management finds time to do things that don’t benefit the team or add extra task to their plate. The organization also loves pointless meetings that can be summarized in two short sentences. My last piece is that the team has a mutual feeling about management and suckers up to them because they are playing the . Bamboo fails to recognize their weaknesses and if they managed to succeed, I would be impressed with how it’s been ran.
