Pros

First off the people are the best! Everyone comes from diverse backgrounds and walks of life, but we all come together to make life easier for HR people around the world. BambooHR is flexible and willing to work with your schedule. They are focused on work life balance. When you are at work focus on work and doing great things. But when you are home they want you to focus on you're family and what makes you happy.

Cons

I have worked for BambooHR for almost a year and in that time I haven't seen anything negative about this company.

Pros

They have completely ruined me. I'm not sure I will want to work anywhere else. So if I leave here I will either have to retire or start my own company. (I keep telling them I will need an 8 month notice / severance if they plan on changing my employment). There are three things I look for in any company I work for. 1- Culture, 2- Project, & 3- Salary. While I was going through the hiring process they mentioned something about work-life balance. I have never experienced that before. I thought it was a ploy to get me to come on board. My main three things were met, so I thought what the heck. Well it turns out the work-life balance is now at the top of my expanded list. BambooHR is a great place to work if you want to be spoiled: 1- Work-Life Balance: It's not a myth that is just spoken of, it's expected that you do your work and go home. 2- Culture: BambooHR only hires people that are a good fit. If you have the right attitude, you will fit. 3- Product: I have worked on many projects from the smallest to the largest companies and this product tops them all. 4-Salary: BambooHR takes care of their people. Your not just a number. They care.

Cons

Because BambooHR is still considered a "start-up" there are growing pains. Processes are still being defined. Mentalities are being shifted slowly. This makes for a little pain in the creation of process workflows. In addition, creating change doesn't happen as fast as it may in other companies. I guess this could be seen as a good thing. However, having been here for a while, it could go just a little faster without damage to the culture / product.

Pros

This is a great company to be with. It is the perfect size for me; Small enough that most people know you, but big enough that we are starting to get some fun benefits and opportunities. Recently the company announced Paid Paid vacation, which means that BambooHR will reimburse you for your vacation expenses. How crazy is that? I really feel like the owners and managers care about the employees. They have high expectations of their employees, but they encourage us to have a fun time doing it.

Cons

There's not any major cons, just a few small growing pains that are to be expected with a company that is growing this fast.
