Pros

After working at BambooHR, I don't see how I would ever want to work anywhere else. Here they really believe work hard, play hard. Work hard and go home and enjoy your life. No one will be emailing you on weekends or bugging you at 7pm at night for an urgent deadline. On top of all that life balance stuff, the values at Bamboo of being open and assuming the best are really practiced and they make it actually constructive to have a tough conversation with someone.

Cons

I can't think of one. If I were to run a company, I'd want it to be like BambooHR.

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.
