Pros

It's incredible to work for a company that really cares about about their employees. But it doesn't just end there. BambooHR cares about their customers too. They care about the impact they're having on every company who purchases their software. It's incredible to know that the work we're doing matters. The clients who use our software use it so that they can then have extra time to focus on what really matters- their people and making their work environment a great place to work too! It goes full circle and BambooHR does a great job at helping us as employees see that our work really impacts others! Working for a place that has such an incredible purpose really makes all the difference! The culture and people at BambooHR are some of my favorite things! Some people sometimes mistake BambooHR as a "laid back" environment. That is definitely not the case. The people are fun and the environment is energetic, but it is fast paced and definitely not relaxed. We come to work to work hard so that we can leave work at work and go home at the end of the day without taking work home! It's so satisfying working hard but then taking off and enjoying that work life balance. And they stick to the work life balance. I tend to be more of a workaholic, but I've literally had my manager come out at 5:00 and tell me to go home because they really do value work life balance and making sure you're not working over 40 hours a week. The benefits are unique but so thoughtful and impactful! They don't just care about your daily satisfaction, but they really take into consideration your long term satisfaction and quality of life! My spouse loves this company just as much as I do because of how much the benefits really do impact our life! No one should hesitate about looking into BambooHR as a great place to work!

Cons

Change is inevitable! Be prepared and flexible to change because it's a constant with how quickly growth is happening. With quick growth can come the need for more people fast! BambooHR is very thoughtful in their hiring though- it's a process which can take time. Because of that, some departments feel the pain of needing people faster than they're being supplied.

Pros

The 2k for vacation once a year is nice.

Cons

Sexiest environment, and if you aren't Mormon you won't fit in. Salary is much lower then anywhere else.
