Pros

I am still drinking the kool aide! The executives truly believe in our company's values and encourage a positive and open culture. Culture really comes from the top-down and that is how we roll at Bamboo! They are the most humble and amazing management team I have ever worked for. They are thoughtful about the benefits they give us and ensure they align with our company’s values. They have shown me time and again their appreciation for me as an individual and really care about my growth and success here. They are amazing! One of my favorite benefits is Paid Paid vacation! Who wouldn’t love getting paid to go on vacation! (This is different from the regular paid time off) Oh and talking about vacation at Bamboo is not voodoo. We talk about our paid paid vacations all the time! Also, we each get our birthday off! Say whaaaaat??!! I feel so lucky to be a Bambooligan every single day and love that I have found my ‘home’!!

Cons

I can't think of any!

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.
