Pros

Fun culture, but most any tech company in the Triangle is competitive with that. Benefits are nice, especially if you have a family. Enough free shirts to wear every day of the month.

Cons

It's a big boys playground. They're all friends and don't think you will ever get to complain about one of them. It's useless. I've seen so much good talent quit in less than a year that I was there because they know the future for a few of the divisions is bleak. If only the right people were in place to make real decisions instead of what new shirt we should add to the already 5,000 we have then perhaps there could be some real profit and meaningful work. It gets old having to go 900 directions because of the chaos those people create. Don't bother complaining to HR, they're useless. Many complaints have gone unattended to because they're more focused on other things, like writing fake Glassdoor reviews to boost the star rating.

Pros

I have worked with 2 very large corporations and one much smaller company, and by far, Bandwidth has been the absolute best work environment I've experienced yet. The culture here is like no other. I truly feel like Bandwidth cares for its employees and HR does an excellent job in hiring that helps maintain the upbeat, caring, 'can-do' culture. When you get to know the CEO and executive management you know why... this kind of culture comes from the top. I am also very grateful for the medical benefits that Bandwidth offers. Switching to BW's medical plan saves my family over $400 a month... that is huge! If you like an upbeat, dynamic, innovative, fast-paced environment this is a great company to work for. I love my job and I am very thankful to be able to work here.

Cons

My only 'Con' is that I wish Bandwidth was still located in Cary.... I drive further than I'd like to drive to work, but for the great work environment it is entirely worth it!

Pros

Awesome culture. Smart, fun and hard-working people who care about the customers and the employees. Exciting work...we move fast and it is fun to work in this sort of environment. Fantastic benefits-100% employee paid benefits, strong work/life balance, fitness/wellness programs are also very strong and meet the needs of different fitness levels. Great Management Team-they are approachable and willing to provide advice/guidance when you ask for it. Simply put, this place is real. I am thankful for the opportunities I have been given during my tenure here at Bandwidth. I love my job and I'm having a blast doing it.

Cons

There is a lot going on and priorities are not always aligned across the business unit. However, if you feel disconneced all you need to do is ask and management is willing to provide feedback/guidance.
