Pros

If you work here you will have a job that gets you paychecks. They will fill the air full of smoke and mirrors, stories of culture and values. If you allow yourself to believe in it you can feel good for awhile as you are working with them.

Cons

If you expect the values to go both ways you will get burned. As another review on here states it is not a good sales experience. Funny thing about that is since the reviewer was still an employee they rated 5 stars to try and keep from getting any retaliation...Well the week long knee jerk/witch hunt that came should help tell you what you are in for if you choose to join. Just ask around and see how many people have been working there for more than a year in sales... Sad even I was scared to review until I had left the company.

Let's be honest, this hurts! We spend so much time and effort on helping every employee succeed and embrace responsibility for everything we could have done better. We make efforts that are well beyond what we believe other firms make to provide opportunities to succeed, but we're sorry it didn't work out. For those seeking to learn more, reach out!

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.
