Pros

BambooHR is one of the few places that actually practices what they preach--a company whose emphasis in the market is "setting people free to do great work" is doing just that internally. The company values like Be Open, Assume the Best, Enjoy Quality of Life, Lead from Where You Are, Do the Right Thing, and Grow from Good to Great are actually practiced every single day--albeit imperfectly. These values are exemplified by leadership, and they are super careful to preserve that culture as they grow. BambooHR also really seems to have work/life balance worked out really well--it's intense, focused work while you're at work, so you can feel good about going home at 5 and focusing on developing on a personal level.

Cons

As Bamboo grows, it can begin to lose the "family" feel, so a lot of individual effort has to be made to stay connected to people across departments.

Pros

The owners are just great people. They are down-to-earth and very approachable. I'm actually sort of an introvert (and new,) but these guys will go out of their way to come and talk to me! They know my name and remember previous conversations. Everyone emulates that great attitude as a result. It's a really great team and I find myself wishing I had more qualified friends and former colleagues to send their way. I work 40 hours per week and that's it!

Cons

Lots of transition and growth can make your job more challenging and make you feel less-than-stellar compared to others who stand out. So you feel some pressure to be excellent. It's not compulsory though. Probably just the fruit of a good work culture.

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.
