Pros

Benefits are great. You get a great medical, dental, and vision package. It’s very affordable. They’ll pay $2000 to go on a trip, but will be taxed as a bonus. Best PTO package around. Coworkers are the best! They help you get the job done, and are open to help you.

Cons

No room for growth at all. We aren’t paid very great for a tech company. Company gave great swag few years ago, but started to become cheap this last year. Culture has changed in the last three years. Not everyone lives or follows the BambooHR values. Getting a promotion is nonexistent and hard to get. No wiggle room for PTO in December, January and quarter starts. Not a lot of work life balance for a lot of people in the Payroll Implementation team.

Pros

Culture is top-notch (though definitely starting to shift as we continue to get bigger). Benefits are great--I literally pay $8/pay period for my insurance. Environment and growth opportunities are very healthy. The product is genuinely really cool!

Cons

The only 2 things I can think of here are the pay and that the culture is shifting. Pay is a funny thing because we're continually told that Bamboo is paying at market value, but this is absolutely not true. They are centered in Utah where cost of living is high and compared to other software companies pay less. I think they sometimes use "good culture" as an excuse as to not pay people what they're worth and that's not cool.
