Great Place to Work with Growing Pains

Pros

BambooHR is really a great place to work. From the paid vacations, annual bonus, amount of PTO, and other benefits, it’s phenomenal!

Cons

There are rapid changes that happen at breakneck speeds making staying up to date a logistical nightmare. The meetings can be emails, we waste lots of time in those meetings. And at the end of the day, if it doesn’t “serve the business” or fulfill a “business need” we don’t get it. This is frustrating when we need extra support to do our job more efficiently and effectively, but the company won’t invest in areas without us proving that we need it. We wouldn’t ask for things to do our work better if we didn’t need them, and this ultimately makes a lot of us feel unheard.

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.
