Pros

Past culture was amazing. Vision of the future is grand.

Cons

Unfortunately, the past culture is mo longer attainable. Senior leadership does not care how many people leave even though the cost to retrain is immense in comparison. Current culture is a facade.

Pros

Good benefits, especially if you are starting a family. In my experience the majority of the employees are very nice people. The workout lunch benefit is great.

Cons

When I started at Bandwidth three years ago I thought it’d be the place I retire. After going through how the company has handled COVID though I see how some things that didn’t bother me much when I started have big impacts on the company’s trajectory and it’s employees now. Unfortunately it mostly seems to come directly from the CEO. Most of the other reviews here are true. They reluctantly let us work from home. They pushed people to come back to the office. They sent weekly and daily emails advertising free lunch for people that came in. We got emails about people with COVID attending company events. They required all employees to come into the office June 2nd with no rules for mask wearing, vaccinations, etc. The CEO did say if you don’t want to come in then than it might not be the company for you. It breaks my heart. On top of all of this the actual product and teams are split between being a telecom network or being a software platform and many competitors have outpaced us because of it.
