BambooHR reviews

Too many to count. The biggest issues are expectations amongst management/higher up. They are expecting the outbound BDRs to bring in 3x more than last years results. Which causes higher quota, and that equals higher stress for reps. Management genuinely doesn’t listen to BDRs advice/input, they only talk about what they think is best. You are expected to hit quota each month which is reasonable but hitting quota is “underachieving” because that’s the standard and they expect us to hit 2 more shown appointments on top of what’s expected. So when you do hit quota they still make it feel like you are behind. They put you on a performance plan when you don’t hit quota for that month. And they still put you on that plan when a third/close to half of others don’t hit quota. It makes you think they would see that this could be a process/management issue on why it’s very difficult to achieve what’s expected but nope, that’s on the reps to figure out. Meetings are rinse and repeat. Nothing changes on ideas to do better. When you ask for advice on what to do the response you will get is to do more calls and work harder when you feel like you are putting in max effort. They make it seem like almost everyone is constantly hitting quota or going over which isn’t true. Only a handful of people are getting quota each month and only a select few are taking in the 2x accelerators. They offer that great perk because they know it’s near impossible for even half of the reps to achieve it. If you are looking for a very high stress job this is the place to be at. It feels like you are scraping by month by month. I still haven’t seen more than 3-5 people be at quota before the last week of the month

BambooHR does not care about tenure in any way. The good old days of BambooHR are gone and they have gone unapologetically corporate. BambooHR wants to be known as the company that never does layoffs, so instead, they raise quotas to unachievable numbers to force reps to leave. Layoffs are indeed happening at BambooHR and the writing is on the wall that Bamboo is not doing well. The C-Suite is desperately trying to get the business in line for acquisition, but it is not going to happen anytime soon. If you want to join a sales organization where a very minimal number of reps are hitting quota and are completely blamed for that, rather than the several price increases Bamboo forced on their clients in the last few years, then BambooHR is the place for you!
