Pros

The company has remained true to their core customer in the SMB space, building products that are well thought out and applicable to customer needs. The office space is one of the best in Utah. There are some quality people working at BambooHR who hold the culture together and make the experience better.

Cons

The culture that defined the company has faded and senior leadership doesn’t know how to get it back. They aren’t purposefully or maliciously doing this, they just don’t understand how to fix it. There is limited professional development, limited career growth, and limited opportunities available. The company has been experiencing slower growth as they make small plays in a big market and wonder why other companies making big plays in that same market are beating them out.

Pros

Clear job expectations. Great team. Interesting work. Opportunities for personal growth.

Cons

Little room for promotion. No discussion surrounding compensation increases. It's presented as "here's what you get" and there is no chance to present yourself or your contributions.

And as always, our HR team welcomes additional feedback. Thanks, Jonathan Vaas, Head of HR & Legal
