We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Being a great place to work is at the forefront of our focus but we recognize that we're not the right fit for everyone. We continually encourage all employees to be open with their managers as well as HR. In fact, our "Be Open" value is reflective of that, and of our commitment to giving and receiving feedback openly. We hope that you were open with communication while you were here. Best of luck!

Pros

The people you work with are truly amazing. Great leadership who takes their time to do the right thing. The Bamboo values aren't just something they stick up on the wall, everyone lives by them during work hours and outside of work. Truly a great company. Great place to get a jump start on your career.

Cons

The benefits are great but they don't make up for the severly low compensation. Your direct manager is only allowed to approve up to 1 hour of overtime every pay period and unfortunately management doesn't realize that some teams have to work overtime because we have to hit deadlines for our clients employees to get paid. In payroll, there is a lot of micromanagement. If you don't like to be micromanaged, payroll is not for you. There is a lot of career growth at Bamboo, but if you start in Customer Experience and try to make a jump to another department, you are going to have a difficult time. When I interviewed for this job, I was not told what the position would be. Some of us thought it was a sales position and it is not. Be completely transparent with what the role is during the interview process.

Hey there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and give feedback. We read each of these reviews and consider all feedback given, so thank you for sharing yours. We have some really great people here and are glad you've chosen to be a part of it! Our values genuinely guide everything we do and shape who we are and the decisions we make. We try really hard to make sure that we explain each position clearly and even send a survey to all new hires and ask specifically about that. Hopefully you were open about your experience there as well. In terms of compensation, we're constantly trying to live our value of "Do the Right Thing" and continually do market research to make sure we're on target with fair compensation. Thanks for choosing to be here and for everything you do to make BambooHR a great place to work.

You won't find a job with better benefits anywhere else. -It is a fun place to work! The people are so nice and you feel like you have a whole new set of friends starting on your first day. They play games at lunch and have fun meetings and parties. -They really care about what they do. They believe in their product and truly want to change the lives of HR Reps everywhere.

-None. There seriously are no cons to working here.
