Pros

A great amount of trust is given from co-founders and management which fosters a very pleasant work environment. That kind of autonomy here works because everyone seems to have great work ethic and a passion to be great at their jobs. Product is incredibly user-friendly and well designed. There is a deeply ingrained culture of providing fantastic customer support. These things combined have led to the product having a great name in the industry which seems to be organically growing itself. In addition to this, the marketing team here is amazing and super involved with the lead gen and sales process all the way through. Promising growth going forward. People here are awesome. Across all departments, Bambooligans have been extremely warm and friendly from day one. Everyone seems to be working together as a whole in accomplishing goals. You feel that everyone has your back here, which you naturally want to reciprocate. This in my opinion, is one of the greatest factors that makes it such a wonderful culture here.

Cons

It's obviously not perfect, fast growth and transitioning from start-up means some growing pains and changes in systems and processes sometimes. However, the encouragement to be transparent and contribute advice and best practices turns that into an opportunity for individual growth and development.

Pros

If you work here you will have a job that gets you paychecks. They will fill the air full of smoke and mirrors, stories of culture and values. If you allow yourself to believe in it you can feel good for awhile as you are working with them.

Cons

If you expect the values to go both ways you will get burned. As another review on here states it is not a good sales experience. Funny thing about that is since the reviewer was still an employee they rated 5 stars to try and keep from getting any retaliation...Well the week long knee jerk/witch hunt that came should help tell you what you are in for if you choose to join. Just ask around and see how many people have been working there for more than a year in sales... Sad even I was scared to review until I had left the company.

Let's be honest, this hurts! We spend so much time and effort on helping every employee succeed and embrace responsibility for everything we could have done better. We make efforts that are well beyond what we believe other firms make to provide opportunities to succeed, but we're sorry it didn't work out. For those seeking to learn more, reach out!
