Pros

I love the culture and opportunities here at BambooHR. I've been in the tech industry for 20+ years and have never seen anything like it (in a good way)! I was sceptical when I came in but have been pleasantly surprised that it is what everyone said it would be. The future is definitely bright with our new CEO and the product and strategy put us on a trajectory to really take off in the years to come.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

Founded with a fantastic culture in mind. Excellent benefits. Fun place to work. Amazing coworkers.

Cons

Culture has changed significantly. Instead of helping employees grow from good to great, they are just being fired for making mistakes. In many cases it's not even a mistake but management stretches to find reasons to fire people. Instead of being a great place to work it's just another big company with too many employees to be able to focus on culture.

Hello! Thanks for your thoughts. BambooHR was definitely founded with the desire to create a great place to work and we're glad to hear that you were able to experience that. Since the beginning of BambooHR and ongoing, our goal has always been to focus on the people, and regardless of how many employees we have, that focus and priority will never change. We recognize that we're humans and mistakes happen. Though that's part of the process of growing from good to great, it becomes a problem when we're not learning from those mistakes or when mistakes are continuously repeated. Part of having a great place to work requires the commitment to make every minute count and to be all in. Unfortunately in situations where minimum job requirements aren't met or when the same mistakes are continuously made, it requires that we part ways. It's definitely not an easy thing, as we genuinely care about each and every person. We really wish the best for every Bambooligan, past or present, and we are grateful for the time that you spent at BambooHR!

Pros

A very positive environment with amazing people.

Cons

There was not a lot of transparency when it came to compensation when you were offered positions within the company. This is just as important as job satisfaction for some people.
