The absolute best company to work for in Utah!

Pros

Been working at BambooHR for a little over 8 months, but I must say this is the best place to work. The CEO really cares and they are constantly improving the benefits and work environment every year. I feel that this company lives by there creed of work life balance. Asked to work 40 hours an hour and if ever asked to do Overtime, it's optional. The company values like Be Open, Assume the Best, Enjoy Quality of Life, Lead from Where You Are, Do the Right Thing, and Grow from Good to Great are actually practiced every single day.

Cons

Lots of transition and growth both as employees and clients, it can make your job more challenging and make you feel less-than-stellar compared to others who stand out and newer to the company. However. .. . that is just what happens with growing pains.

Amazing Culture. Meaningful work

Pros

I left a stable job at a larger company to have a meaningful impact at BambooHR. I have not regretted it. Even at our current size, I still feel like I need to bring my A-game everyday, no slacking off allowed. This greatly appeals to me, because we have a culture of working efficiently and getting things done. Everyone is working towards the same goal, and we all have a feeling of ownership over the product and experience; from sales to implementation to customer service. I have had to grow significantly and continually learn and try new things to keep up with our pace and goals.

Cons

I miss the days when we were a smaller company, but our current size has benefits too.

Pros

If you’re complacent with being told what to do and are OK with the pay, you will be OK working here

Cons

There might not be enough space for what I have to say. Management is full of narcissist. Little to no accountability or responsibility from management. Management job is supposed to be helping the team and supporting them and learning the job which they extremely lack in. If you are OK with having someone tell you how to do your job that doesn’t know how to do your job then, you’re in luck. When the team was failing to hit quota, their solution was to keep it the same while calling the BDR‘s complacent. Management also failed to recognize that reps were obtaining quota only through going to events. A work colleague of mine gave feedback in a meeting and was later criticized for providing feedback. After that meeting, he was told not to speak up in a meeting like that. Yet they say they welcome feedback. Management finds time to do things that don’t benefit the team or add extra task to their plate. The organization also loves pointless meetings that can be summarized in two short sentences. My last piece is that the team has a mutual feeling about management and suckers up to them because they are playing the . Bamboo fails to recognize their weaknesses and if they managed to succeed, I would be impressed with how it’s been ran.
