Pros

BambooHR is a fantastic place to work. The company values are core to everyday life and decisions at the highest level. Their paid paid benefit is amazing. BambooHR pays you a bonus when you go on vacation!

Cons

My only negative is the PTO policy is a little light. I'd like to see more days off per year.

Your specific recommendations about addressing tech debt, management training, and compensation have been shared with our leadership team. We take these concerns seriously and recognize that we need to move beyond positive talk to meaningful action in these areas.
