      Discrimination! 👎

      Pros

      None, I fought discrimination for multiple years here for not fitting the company’s stereotypes.

      Cons

      Discrimination and manager that personally looked for anything to fire me over multiple years. Stress was not worth it. Miscommunication even when made right, is a bad mark on your record for all time.

      Thank you for sharing your experience. We take concerns about fairness and discrimination very seriously at BambooHR. Whenever a concern is raised, we open a formal review, investigate thoroughly, and close the loop directly with the team member involved. While your experience does not reflect the environment we strive for, our annual Great Place to Work results indicate strong confidence in fairness: 96% of team members feel treated fairly regardless of race or sexual orientation, 95% regardless of age, and 93% regardless of gender. These scores surpass the national benchmark of 91% for justice among the top 100 U.S. workplaces. If you have additional information that was not previously shared, please reach out to our HR team so we can better understand your experience. Thanks, Jonathan Vaas, Head of Legal and HR

      Lost faith in leadership

      Pros

      Great coworkers Adequate pay Never had layoffs

      Cons

      It feels like the tech leadership is living in a different world than the engineers. They cite "10x productivity gains" from using AI - basically parroting Sam Altman's sales pitch - while not providing any real metrics to prove that. Now they're pursuing a new methodology for quality assurance, a radical departure that we have zero proof will be successful. Every time they hold a department meeting, we engineers talk to each other with extreme dismay at the decisions. Implementing RTO was never adequately justified. Seems like they're working on hunches and their own experience instead of hard data.

      Pros

      Used to be a great company to work for. Coworkers are great. Benefits are decent. Head office is nice.

      Cons

      Low pay. Brutal changes from leadership. Having no voice. RTO and other changes in job description than originally agreed upon.
