Best career decision I have made, so far :)

Pros

I have heard many companies claim the family is important and work/life balance mantra, but I have yet to find one that backs it up like BambooHR. Every decision they make, from growing the company to benefits, seems to be driven at least in good part by how it will effect the work/life balance of employees and how it will effect their family life as well. The culture they have been able to create and maintain is amazing. I love going to work each day feeling like I am making a difference in peoples lives.

Cons

Nothing really, I am just hoping they can keep the culture and Bamboo way they have worked so hard to create as the company grows.

Fantastic company who actually cares

Pros

This company actually cares about their employees. They are constantly looking for ways to help employees grow and be more effective both in their personal and professional lives. The work life balance is great. I've never been asked to compromise family (or weekend or evening) time for work. Leadership lives the values, acknowledges when they're wrong, and listens to employees who want to redirect when things get off-track. It's refreshing to work at a company that doesn't just give company culture lip service to snag people in recruiting—culture is something they actually use to guide decisions and behavior.

Cons

deductible on health plan is a little high—but they make up for it with a generous HSA match plan

A Great Place to Work

Pros

I really enjoy working for BambooHR. It is a fun atmosphere with more focus on the work we do and less attention to the politics of the workplace. I feel valued as an employee and that the I work I do here contributes to the overall success of the company. We work hard at work and our individual contributions matter. Employees are treated as real people and management has done a good job of remembering that. Our CEO still knows everyone individually (and most of our kids too).

Cons

The growth has been a tough challenge. We grow deliberately and consciously, so that involves a lot of thought and hard work. I worry about protecting the amazing culture we have worked so hard to achieve with new hires who need to understand that work life balance means you work really hard at work! There is no room for giving less then 100% each day because each person matters.
