Culture is good. Pay is not.

Software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

In terms of culture and values, it's a better place to work than most. Can be exciting at times. Benefits are standard for a tech company but could be better. The paid paid vacation benefit is a novelty. But it has been diluted by inflation. (A recent change addresses that to a limited extent but only for tenured employees.)

Cons

Total compensation just isn't competitive. Period. In the current economic environment Bamboo is years behind. Employees cannot meet their financial goals with company culture and goodwill. Leadership is distant and usually brought in from the outside. While junior folks are mentored pretty well, Bamboo does not have much of a track record of promoting leadership within.
