Pros

- Product is fantastic. Sells itself half the time, great brand recognition and reputation - People are fantastic. One of the best office environments I have been in, very fun and encouraging people to be around - Other people are genuinely cheering for you, people want to see others win - Great flexibility and overall work/life balance if you can get a good process down - Fantastic benefits and a cool office - Leadership has shown that they are willing to change and pivot (it make take a while, but at least it happens)

Cons

- Pay is low compared to the industry and they are asking more of reps without increasing pay or changing comp - Success is VERY manager dependent. If you have a good manager who cares, you will kill it. If you have an external hire who isn't up to speed, prepare for a crash landing. - Communication between orgs is severely lacking - SDRs are god. Any dispute with an SDR you can guarantee you will lose. Don't even bother - Heavy LDS influence on culture (not necessarily a con, but not a pro)

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.
