Pros

The biggest pros for me come down to the Founders. Leadership starts at the top and they were open and candid with me through the hiring process and that same candor has continued after joining the team. They are smart, capable, and care about their employees. Bamboo preaches work/life balance and they mean it. They offer some unique benefits like, starting in 2015 (and after 6 months of employment), you can be reimbursed for up to $2k in vacation expenses. They just want you to bring a picture back to share with Bamboo of your adventures. :-) Working in sales most companies often overstate what you will make their first year. Ben (the CEO) gave me a figure that I could reach during my interview. He said that if I "worked my tail off" I would probably be in a certain range...I am happy to say he actually undersold the potential. I will exceed it by about 1/3 and only see the potential growing.

Cons

Health insurance is new to Bamboo this year and they started with a high deductible health plan. I know they will continue to improve in this area but for the time being we have to use my wife's insurance.

Bamboo has great benefits, an awesome environment, and they focus alot on team work.

Cons

Lots of new hires on our team, which is awesome but it can slow down our progress while they are learning.

Pros

I literally can't think of one. They have complicated most issues in our organization and they immediately run to the managers with employees complaints.

Cons

Numerous colleagues have gone to them to discuss serious concerns they have with their managers behavior. The bamboo rep immediately provided all details, including the employees name, to the manager to discuss. Nothing was ever done regarding the employees concerns and now their manager knows that they have complained about them. The HR rep never requested or received permission to share the employees names with the managers. There was no follow up and the employees are left dealing with the repercussions of "telling on their manager".
