Pros

They have completely ruined me. I'm not sure I will want to work anywhere else. So if I leave here I will either have to retire or start my own company. (I keep telling them I will need an 8 month notice / severance if they plan on changing my employment). There are three things I look for in any company I work for. 1- Culture, 2- Project, & 3- Salary. While I was going through the hiring process they mentioned something about work-life balance. I have never experienced that before. I thought it was a ploy to get me to come on board. My main three things were met, so I thought what the heck. Well it turns out the work-life balance is now at the top of my expanded list. BambooHR is a great place to work if you want to be spoiled: 1- Work-Life Balance: It's not a myth that is just spoken of, it's expected that you do your work and go home. 2- Culture: BambooHR only hires people that are a good fit. If you have the right attitude, you will fit. 3- Product: I have worked on many projects from the smallest to the largest companies and this product tops them all. 4-Salary: BambooHR takes care of their people. Your not just a number. They care.

Cons

Because BambooHR is still considered a "start-up" there are growing pains. Processes are still being defined. Mentalities are being shifted slowly. This makes for a little pain in the creation of process workflows. In addition, creating change doesn't happen as fast as it may in other companies. I guess this could be seen as a good thing. However, having been here for a while, it could go just a little faster without damage to the culture / product.

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.
