Pros

I’ve been here almost a month, and I can honestly say that Bamboo is a company that cares about its employees and people. It’s a very communicative and collaborative place where you feel encouraged to do great work; not because you’re hitting a quota, but because you’re surrounded by excellent people who care about you and the company. Bamboo has fantastic values, a fantastic product and fantastic people. I hope to stay here for a long time. Benefits are pretty great in general - paid paid time off (annual reimbursement of up to $2,000 of PTO/vacation expenses), generous 401k match, and a generous PTO policy. The company also has no debt, so it’s not forced to listen to outside voices when making business decisions and has a lot more freedom to develop and grow how they want.

Cons

Not a lot so far. I guess the health insurance options aren’t phenomenal, but in 2025, that’s kind of how it is everywhere. It’s a lot larger than the company I was at previously, so with that, certain tech systems and teams are complicated and it can be hard to keep track of who owns what piece of software development.

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.
