Pros

Paid paid vacation, ability to work from home, starting PTO.

Cons

Be open is meant to be one of their values, but it's just a big joke! If you say anything other than 'this company is the best' you are shunned as being negative and before long will be shown the door. The employees are worse than junior high school students with their cliques and if you're not a super-religious Mormon, you will never fit in. The culture they tout is not one of business, but one of Progressive/Liberal Mormonism. Managers lie and employees have no recourse, you're just brought in and fired as not being a 'culture fit' without any warning. Assume the best is another value, but it only applies to some and not all. Once you get labeled as negative, it doesn't matter what you do or how you perform they will not assume the best about you.

Pros

Culture, culture, culture. The benefits are above average. Annual raises (if you perform well). The company has and continues to be all about its employees. The pay is fairly competitive but could be better. The culture & benefits outweigh that for most, including me. Bamboo is very financially stable, which creates a lot of trust within the organization. The product is beautiful. The dev team that creates it is gifted. It’s easy to sell and market a product you’re passionate about. And it’s easy to be passionate about it. The negative Glassdoor reviews I read are slightly comical. You can tell people are hurt because getting let go of a company that truly cares about its employees is, indeed, painful. If you get let go for underperforming, you had warnings. If it’s for harassment, you probably got away with it for far too long. I’ve witnessed it for years, and ultimately, Management is AWESOME at handling these types of scenarios.

Cons

There are some toxic people that they just won’t let go. Multiple complaints, multiple issues, difficult to get the work done, because of particular people. Not sure if Bamboo is scared of social media implications from this individual or what, but some individuals Can hurt the environment quite a bit. You ask anybody at BambooHR who the toxic team would be if there was one, and people instantly know.

Pros

Management constantly ask about future plans, and work to find a path from where you are to get where you want to go. The company also is concerned about all of the employees as is seen through the benefits and one off perks offered.

Cons

Some managers have a very distinct thinking style and seem to give less notice to thoughts outside of that style
