Pros

BambooHR was a great place to grow in my career and work with talented and passionate people. The people are what makes BambooHR and the work life balance was great. I genuinely loved working for BambooHR for the first few years I was there. Middle management was supportive and truly cared about your success.

Cons

BambooHR is losing long time employees and having a difficult time backfilling positions due to the lack of competitive pay. While their conservativeness has served them well to get them to where they are now, the penny pinching is what has been their recent downfall and a major point of contention amongst employees. Long time employees asking for market rate pay are labeled as disgruntled and therefore not worth giving a raise when in reality they wouldn't have left or become disgruntled if they had been paid fairly to begin with. The benefits that were once top of the industry are now industry standard but are often sited as the reason for lower wages. Once the company hired the new CEO and focused on revenue growth without taking care of foundational issues the culture shifted significantly and the reasons why I loved working for BambooHR diminished overtime as the weak foundation could no longer support the rapidly growing company.

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.
