BambooHR Software Developer reviews

Over the last year, expectations have increased without the support needed to meet them. New tools and processes get rolled out with the assumption that teams can immediately adopt them, but the training and resources aren’t there, which leads to frustration. Communication from management has also slipped. Feedback often feels brushed off or met with surface-level responses instead of action. At times, it feels like information is being filtered or withheld, which creates distrust. Overall, the culture has shifted a lot since I joined, and not in a positive direction.

It feels like the tech leadership is living in a different world than the engineers. They cite "10x productivity gains" from using AI - basically parroting Sam Altman's sales pitch - while not providing any real metrics to prove that. Now they're pursuing a new methodology for quality assurance, a radical departure that we have zero proof will be successful. Every time they hold a department meeting, we engineers talk to each other with extreme dismay at the decisions. Implementing RTO was never adequately justified. Seems like they're working on hunches and their own experience instead of hard data.
