Pros

This is a great company to be with. It is the perfect size for me; Small enough that most people know you, but big enough that we are starting to get some fun benefits and opportunities. Recently the company announced Paid Paid vacation, which means that BambooHR will reimburse you for your vacation expenses. How crazy is that? I really feel like the owners and managers care about the employees. They have high expectations of their employees, but they encourage us to have a fun time doing it.

Cons

There's not any major cons, just a few small growing pains that are to be expected with a company that is growing this fast.

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.
