Pros

I liked my teammates NOT my manager

Cons

Where do I begin? This company shoves its company values down your throat but DOESN'T live by them. sales roles are SEVERELY underpaid based on the market. My manager tried to get me to quit. Management is a sham and doesn't look out for anyone but themselves. they are very into transactional sales and only care about closing deals. This role doesn't benefit anyone except those in upper management/leadership. My manager critiqued my personality and said I don't have situational fluency and that I sounded uncomfortable. training for this role was all over the place and didnt feel like we were set up for success... instead to fail. I am NEVER working for a Utah based company again because i know I will be working with a bunch of Mormons that use politics to justify their actions. unrealistic quota attainment. PS. as of late, they only hire Utah based employees.

Pros

Culture is top-notch (though definitely starting to shift as we continue to get bigger). Benefits are great--I literally pay $8/pay period for my insurance. Environment and growth opportunities are very healthy. The product is genuinely really cool!

Cons

The only 2 things I can think of here are the pay and that the culture is shifting. Pay is a funny thing because we're continually told that Bamboo is paying at market value, but this is absolutely not true. They are centered in Utah where cost of living is high and compared to other software companies pay less. I think they sometimes use "good culture" as an excuse as to not pay people what they're worth and that's not cool.
