Pros

I love working for a company that values my career growth, happiness, and ability to have a personal life. People all over the organization (CEO to HR to my manager) work with me to accomplish career goals and grow. They offer a lot of great benefits (like paid paid vacation and financial education), but what it's all centered around is helping people be balanced in all aspects of their lives. It's rare to find an employer who actually values that.

Cons

No company is perfect. There are growing pains and misunderstandings. What's unique about Bamboo is that everyone is encouraged to voice their suggestions or struggles and management actually cares about fixing the problems. Sure, sometimes fixes aren't immediate, but concerns are always addressed and everyone is genuinely doing the best they can.

Pros

At the end of my tenure, I really have no pros.

Cons

I'm pretty sure I was "quietly laid off", in the effort of sneaky downsizing without having to actually do formal layoffs. This place was a godsend and a great place to work on my small independent team, and I did great. Then they did massive restructuring, added layers of hierarchy, added process, and basically just starting running a creative team like a line of factory workers. I had a horrible time with my manager on so many different levels, and felt validation when others would reflect the same, but I reflect what everyone else says - narcissistic, micro managing leadership that I now understand play manipulation games. I was put on a performance improvement plan and finally quit due to burnout, stress, and the dissolution of a role and a team that I had from before. They constantly push for solutions and deliverables, but I never really saw anything I delivered actually get treated and implemented with respect. Company policies and siloed team policies and procedures stymie actual effectiveness, and it seems like the leadership acts as your strict grade school teacher rather than having your back.
