Pros

I have been around the block in my career with over 25+ years in tech. I worked for them all. Large Fortune 500 companies on Wall Street to small tech startups in San Fran. The company culture and work-life balance at BambooHR are the absolute best. You will NOT find a company that is better. As a developer, you are pursued by many with all sorts of shiny "things". Don't fall for that trap. Find people you would love to work with on a great product. That trumps everything. And at BambooHR you get that in spades. The retirement benefits are great. Far better than most. Very generous time off where we are encouraged to take that time off. Paid-Paid vacation is awesome! I love the founders and trust them. I know that they truly care for each of us and our family. (This is RARE folks. Like, unicorn RARE)

Cons

I wish the medical plan was a little more generous. I would love to see medical plans that will get you close to zero dollars out of pocket with low or no deductible if you stay in-network. I would also like to see some more emphasis on formalized training plans tailored to the employee and aligned with the company's goals.

Pros

If you’re complacent with being told what to do and are OK with the pay, you will be OK working here

Cons

There might not be enough space for what I have to say. Management is full of narcissist. Little to no accountability or responsibility from management. Management job is supposed to be helping the team and supporting them and learning the job which they extremely lack in. If you are OK with having someone tell you how to do your job that doesn’t know how to do your job then, you’re in luck. When the team was failing to hit quota, their solution was to keep it the same while calling the BDR‘s complacent. Management also failed to recognize that reps were obtaining quota only through going to events. A work colleague of mine gave feedback in a meeting and was later criticized for providing feedback. After that meeting, he was told not to speak up in a meeting like that. Yet they say they welcome feedback. Management finds time to do things that don’t benefit the team or add extra task to their plate. The organization also loves pointless meetings that can be summarized in two short sentences. My last piece is that the team has a mutual feeling about management and suckers up to them because they are playing the . Bamboo fails to recognize their weaknesses and if they managed to succeed, I would be impressed with how it’s been ran.
