Pros

Incredible benefits, nice long break for lunch, sports encouraged. As others mention - good events (who doesn't like free beer at work?) CEO is one of the nicest, most genuine people, who knows everyone's name.

Cons

Exceptionally little training. For sales team there was no real direction. Employees in all departments like the fun culture and benefits, but not their actual jobs. I stuck around less than a year because it felt very dead end. I understand they've diversified since, but when I was there it felt like being a digital camera salesman after smartphones became ubiquitous.

Pros

Customers love Bandwidth. Business continues to grow. Very profitable. Staffing top talent. Opportunities to develop inovative ideas. Agile s/w development. Great fitness culture.

Cons

No local reaturants. Elevators are really slow. Having the company distributed across several locations adds communication complexity and inhibits speed.

Pros

Work life balance and 90-minute lunches are the big perks at Bandwidth. You can essentially come and go as you please so long is there isn't a huge project looming, at which point they grind developers to the bone. Paid insurance premiums are nice. Lots of free t-shirts. Fun co-workers. The CEO is truly a great man and knows everyone by name.

Cons

Management seems to lack a sense of direction; priorities change on almost a daily basis with little explanation as to why. There isn't much room for growth internally and pay is generally much lower than other companies in the area. Generally no clear career path; if you ask about it, you'll get a generalized answer and a loose promise of something down the road with little follow through. No bonuses or stock options for most employees. Very top heavy - directors and VPs for just about everything you can think of. Some don't even have anyone reporting to them. HR needs a tough look under the magnifying glass - It's hard to get a timely response on anything that runs through HR including interviews/hiring, compensation reviews or personnel issues. Lots of turnover in the past year.
