Pros

- Cool culture, especially if you work on site. - Swag. - Using their software as an employee is pretty nice. - Have the potential to use some unique benefits.

Cons

- Citing those "unique benefits", they make it sound significantly nicer than it actually is, including the "Paid Paid" benefit. - If you're remote, you feel pretty isolated, which can be a problem anywhere, but BambooHR doesn't attempt to solve the problem satisfactorily at all. - Depending on your role, you may be given fairly inconsistently training expectations.

Pros

They offer some training opportunities to develop

Cons

After being fully committed to this role for over 2 years I can honestly say that I should have left much sooner. Management spends a huge amount of time telling you there are no better opportunities and that just couldn't be more untrue. They hire some really bad managers and then blame reps for shortcomings, constantly threaten performance plans on anyone and everyone, and then don't want to pay you anything. They hold you to a standard of performance that they claim the top 50% of the floor achieves when in reality it's maybe the top 10% on a good month. In conclusion, just not a serious department. There is also just no culture at all, it's work and nothing else. Outside of sales it's a great company.

Pros

The people there are truly amazing people. The vision for the company is great.

Cons

Micromanaged. Employees not trusted. Unrealistic expectations. Compensation far below SAAS sales pay standards. Biased performance plans, no set standard of when you will be on a PIP or the structure of the PIP, some reps are on a pip after three months of not hitting goal others for 7+ months. Monthly quota, if you miss a month you are immediately drilled about possibility of a pip and the need to hit the following month. Zero work life balance if you are in sales, which is sad because it’s a core value.
