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.

Toxic culture and constant layoffs overshadow past strengths

Pros

None really. Use to be pretty good but it's been a continuous slide into mediocrity.

Cons

C suite is out of touch. The entire company is banking hard on the idea AI will replace the entire company. I think the CTO's perfect company would be no employees and just 1,000 claude agents running. Manager told me in a 1-on-1 that we need to get to a point that managers can design and code features without any coding/design skills, and that we needed to get that point or we'd have even more layoffs. Oh yeah, lay offs, return to office, constant gas lighting, hostile culture, overall just a shell of what it once was.
