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.

Pros

Paid Paid Vacation is the only redeeming quality of BambooHR

Cons

BambooHR does not care about tenure in any way. The good old days of BambooHR are gone and they have gone unapologetically corporate. BambooHR wants to be known as the company that never does layoffs, so instead, they raise quotas to unachievable numbers to force reps to leave. Layoffs are indeed happening at BambooHR and the writing is on the wall that Bamboo is not doing well. The C-Suite is desperately trying to get the business in line for acquisition, but it is not going to happen anytime soon. If you want to join a sales organization where a very minimal number of reps are hitting quota and are completely blamed for that, rather than the several price increases Bamboo forced on their clients in the last few years, then BambooHR is the place for you!

Pros

- Product is fantastic. Sells itself half the time, great brand recognition and reputation - People are fantastic. One of the best office environments I have been in, very fun and encouraging people to be around - Other people are genuinely cheering for you, people want to see others win - Great flexibility and overall work/life balance if you can get a good process down - Fantastic benefits and a cool office - Leadership has shown that they are willing to change and pivot (it make take a while, but at least it happens)

Cons

- Pay is low compared to the industry and they are asking more of reps without increasing pay or changing comp - Success is VERY manager dependent. If you have a good manager who cares, you will kill it. If you have an external hire who isn't up to speed, prepare for a crash landing. - Communication between orgs is severely lacking - SDRs are god. Any dispute with an SDR you can guarantee you will lose. Don't even bother - Heavy LDS influence on culture (not necessarily a con, but not a pro)
