Pros

Remote work. That’s about it.

Cons

In short, don’t work for BambooHR as a sales rep. They promise leads. They’ll go as far as showing you the “great amount of lead flow” in training on graphs, charts and historical statistics. You’d be lucky to get 10-15 a month, IF you’re lucky. Away from your desk for a second and miss the call for a lead? Sucks to be you. Back to the bottom you go for lead distribution. This wouldn’t be an issue if you could actually prospect, but that’s wishful thinking. There are only these “mining reports” which is all but a wasteland of bad information. There’s no ROE and you can’t go into another’s closed lost. Ever. Even if you do manage to find a business through self prospecting, 99% of the time it’s already in somebody else’s name and you can’t touch it. Regardless, if it’s been worked, or not. You’re stuck with what you get. It’s clear that senior leadership has almost all been at been at Bamboo for 5+ years, because they only see “the Bamboo way.” Oh, you mean an echo chamber? That’s a much better way of describing it. You can see other recent reviews surrounding goal attainment, or lack thereof. This is why that’s happening. The worst part is that everybody drinks the koolaid. This is all in an effort to get people to quit, so they don’t have to partake in all of the layoffs. They want to appear as the hero. In reality? They’re being hypocrites and not treating their own employees how they should be. Strange how a company that sells HR software does that, but there’s an unlimited tap of irony in Bamboo sales. Do. Not. Work. For. Bamboo.

Pros

BambooHR has excellent company culture! They care about their employees and take care of them with caring managers, excellent benefits packages, and a positive environment that encourages growth.

Cons

I would say pay is on the lower side of the industry when compared to other companies of a similar size.
