Pros

The company has remained true to their core customer in the SMB space, building products that are well thought out and applicable to customer needs. The office space is one of the best in Utah. There are some quality people working at BambooHR who hold the culture together and make the experience better.

Cons

The culture that defined the company has faded and senior leadership doesn’t know how to get it back. They aren’t purposefully or maliciously doing this, they just don’t understand how to fix it. There is limited professional development, limited career growth, and limited opportunities available. The company has been experiencing slower growth as they make small plays in a big market and wonder why other companies making big plays in that same market are beating them out.

Pros

Leadership is all “in” on AI use and training.

Cons

The AI training has been focused to developers and the tech org. It was stated general job training was a high priority item for this year, but my co-workers and I have not seen the benefits of this. There are many people who make decisions but do not take the time to understand things before those decisions are made. It feels like there is a boys club in some parts of the organization.

We also take your comments about decision-making and inclusivity seriously, as these are essential to a healthy culture. Please reach out to our HR team so we can learn more about your experience and address the issues you’ve raised. Thanks, Jonathan, Head of Legal and HR

Pros

Good co workers. Great benefits. Great product

Cons

Pay was not competitive whatsoever. Goals were almost unobtainable. Upper management always asked for feedback on how they can improve but nothing was ever changed. Made some departments return to office even though they had promised they would never “force” anyone to come back to office although we all knew it was a lie since they moved their headquarters to a massive building. Had to make that investment worth it somehow. Raises were far and few in between. No matter how good you did they always wanted more and more.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're glad to hear that you appreciated your coworkers, benefits, and our product. We understand your concerns about compensation, goals, and the return-to-office policy. Please know that we are actively working on addressing feedback and making improvements. In fact, our most recent employee engagement survey showed significant improvement from the 2024 survey, indicating positive progress since implementing the work mode change to come into the office three times per week. We are committed to taking meaningful action based on the input we receive from both current and former team members. Your insights are valuable, and we appreciate your honesty. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Thanks, Jonathan, Head of Legal and HR
