Pros

The product is top tier. The system sells its self and now that we have more insight into the roadmap and where the company is headed with the software it make the job fun and makes me excited about the future. Pay is okay, benefits are great although some of them are a bit outdated and would love a revamp in what they offer. Great culture and love the people I work with, I dont get micromanaged which is nice.

Cons

They pay scale for salary needs to be changed, commission needs to be adjusted and quota needs to be lowered. If you want your salespeople to stay and be happy, sell more etc make the quota more attainable. Very few people hit their goals and the fear of losing a job is very high. Listen to your employees. If you don't want to raise pay, give a large amount of stock (RSU's) to the employees. (Thousands not hundreds) most people who work for a company long term before a sale or IPO (IDK if any of this will happen) become wealthy once that sale or IPO happens. having a few hundred or even a thousand stocks doesn't do much and doesn't make the employees feel like BambooHR wants them to stay around to help grow the company. I would be okay with not having a pay increase but having 5,000 stock options. Makes me want to stay and I see BambooHR investing in me just as much as they are asking me to invest in them. This costs them no additional money and I would only get this if I stay through vesting. This also allows me to feel like the company wants me to stay. Adjust quota to be less, have more people hit goal which then promotes the company and you get better quality sales people applying working here and staying here and offer more in regards to stock.

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.
