Pros

The onboarding experience was great, and overall there was a lot of good training.

Cons

Some people in leadership are part of an MLM and no one had any problem with leadership openly and sometimes forcefully trying to recruit sales reps to be part of their down line. Pay is incredibly low. Make sure you understand what promotion criteria looks like before you jump into a low level AE role. I saw many people who had been in the role for over a year never promote and quite a few get demoted to SDR as well. On top of that, I saw people hit the promotion criteria, and not get promoted because “there wasn’t a business need” as they continued to outside hire for that very position. Confusing to say the least. Most people stay because of the “security” but pay is so low and promotion so difficult it may be worth a second thought before joining. Quota is monthly and there was an expectation for you to bring your laptop with you on vacation so you didn’t miss too much work.

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.
