Pros

I'm glad to work at BambooHR because of the company culture. It's an interesting mix of encouragement that pushes you to be better while also requiring a healthy balance between your work and home life. Their philosophy is that if you stay balanced at home, you will be happier/more productive at work. We have enormous goals, but I'm culturally expected to spend time recharging with my family.

Cons

It's tough! Our team goals get bigger each month and there's not much time to take a breath and appreciate the cool thing we've accomplished before we're off trying to conquer the next mountain. Our whole company has doubled in size in the last 6 months. I worry that new employees will misunderstand the emphasis on work life balance for an "easy" place to work. We need folks joining the team wanting to make a meaningful difference in the world - not because they know they won't have to work 80 hours a week.

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.
