Pros

I really enjoy working for BambooHR. It is a fun atmosphere with more focus on the work we do and less attention to the politics of the workplace. I feel valued as an employee and that the I work I do here contributes to the overall success of the company. We work hard at work and our individual contributions matter. Employees are treated as real people and management has done a good job of remembering that. Our CEO still knows everyone individually (and most of our kids too).

Cons

The growth has been a tough challenge. We grow deliberately and consciously, so that involves a lot of thought and hard work. I worry about protecting the amazing culture we have worked so hard to achieve with new hires who need to understand that work life balance means you work really hard at work! There is no room for giving less then 100% each day because each person matters.

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.
