The waters have grown toxic

Pros

Has been a stable job, and they take care of the bare minimum. I can’t complain about the work life balance. A lot of the people there are excellent.

Cons

They’ve completely sold out to the corporate hierarchy model. They’re hiring VPs left and right that don’t know the culture or fit in. The culture has turned toxic, the claim to speak and live the values but I don’t see it. They’ve started laying off people when they used to brag about not doing that or ever needing to. They’re inflating upper management with fat salaries by hiring and not taking care of the bulk of the employees that build and support the product. Every year the culture, atmosphere, and employee satisfaction is diminishing. I don’t see a positive outlook of this company anymore.

Great leadership in some areas, but toxic culture elsewhere

Pros

If you find the right pockets of culture and leadership, you will LOVE it at Bamboo. The Marketing, Technology, HR, and Finance organizations have fantastic leaders who truly care about their employees. There are many opportunities to grow within these departments and career paths are clearly defined. Pay is not great, but the benefits are amazing.

Cons

There are SO many snakes in the grass here. Especially within the CX and Sales organizations. CX and Sales leaders are always looking for ways to hurt each other and they do - frequently. The organization is is going through a big growth phase, but it means that the pressure is INSANE right now. There are too many projects happening at once and no one cares about how it affects other areas of the org.
