We agree about the nice people. :) We are sorry you felt the pay inadequate! We get feedback often from our 50+ account executives and have found high satisfaction with pay which is likely part of the reason we have such great retention on these teams. We also watch the market comparables closely and know that our pay is competitive with market rates. We are a performance organization and invest greatly in the success of all of our teams. If anybody has questions, please give our recruiters a call, and we can share more info!

Pros

Pay is fair and there are some really great people that work here. Decent product.

Cons

Toxic positivity - - Zero accountability from the organization. “No layoffs” but they constantly make changes that drive people out and they will talk to you like you’re in grade school, not like adults. If you are not part of the church (this is an Utah company, so you can guess which church I’m talking about) - - you have to tread lightly!!!! Speaking freely is not encouraged and don’t ask questions... Sound familiar? Don’t try and put your flavor on things, this is VANILLA as it gets - - Diversity is dwindling and hiring is now exclusively focused on the UT market - - (recruiting at BYU). Quota attainment is VERY low.

Pros

Hard working employees and some absolutely wonderful middle management who truly cared about their teams. You will absolutely learn a ton.

Cons

Once covid changed the whole work dynamic Bamboo couldn't hang with the hiring market anymore. The benefits used to be a pro, but now they're used as a facade to gaslight employees. A 2k paid vacation isn't awesome anymore when you're underpaid by as much as 20-30k (no, I'm not joking. That's real.). Phantom Units are used as a carrot to dangle in front of lower to mid level employees who don't realize that those units won't actually be life changing nor worth the stay. Upper management will continually site "market value" for their low wages --- even when you present with the actual data and job offers that prove otherwise. I suppose they'd rather hire their friends than keep talent. Task prioritization was a joke. Employees were constantly stressed and felt behind because leadership was consistently changing their minds while still expecting the world.
