Pros

BambooHR is a incredible place to work. Benefits like the paid paid vacation and the work life Balance really do make a difference. The company size has doubled since I was hired. The work space is getting a little tight but we should be moving into a new building soon. No cold calls ever. Most of my appointments are set for me. My favorite part is most of the leads we get know someone who is uses BambooHR and it was organically referred. Makes my job a lot easier because we have an amazing product. They also adjust quota if you take a vacation which is awesome.

Cons

The monthly quota can be a killer some months and I've lost sleep over it. I wish it was quarterly. Company is growing really fast and the changes are rapid. New products launching, pricing changes, changes to the commission structure, lead distribution changes. The commissions can be volatile however you have the potential to make over six figures which several reps are doing. Yes there are a lot of growing pains in sales and I wish they would respond quicker to the issues but overall it's a great place to work.

Pros

At the end of my tenure, I really have no pros.

Cons

I'm pretty sure I was "quietly laid off", in the effort of sneaky downsizing without having to actually do formal layoffs. This place was a godsend and a great place to work on my small independent team, and I did great. Then they did massive restructuring, added layers of hierarchy, added process, and basically just starting running a creative team like a line of factory workers. I had a horrible time with my manager on so many different levels, and felt validation when others would reflect the same, but I reflect what everyone else says - narcissistic, micro managing leadership that I now understand play manipulation games. I was put on a performance improvement plan and finally quit due to burnout, stress, and the dissolution of a role and a team that I had from before. They constantly push for solutions and deliverables, but I never really saw anything I delivered actually get treated and implemented with respect. Company policies and siloed team policies and procedures stymie actual effectiveness, and it seems like the leadership acts as your strict grade school teacher rather than having your back.
