Pros

I really enjoy working for BambooHR. It is a fun atmosphere with more focus on the work we do and less attention to the politics of the workplace. I feel valued as an employee and that the I work I do here contributes to the overall success of the company. We work hard at work and our individual contributions matter. Employees are treated as real people and management has done a good job of remembering that. Our CEO still knows everyone individually (and most of our kids too).

Cons

The growth has been a tough challenge. We grow deliberately and consciously, so that involves a lot of thought and hard work. I worry about protecting the amazing culture we have worked so hard to achieve with new hires who need to understand that work life balance means you work really hard at work! There is no room for giving less then 100% each day because each person matters.

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.
