Pros

Fun culture, but most any tech company in the Triangle is competitive with that. Benefits are nice, especially if you have a family. Enough free shirts to wear every day of the month.

Cons

It's a big boys playground. They're all friends and don't think you will ever get to complain about one of them. It's useless. I've seen so much good talent quit in less than a year that I was there because they know the future for a few of the divisions is bleak. If only the right people were in place to make real decisions instead of what new shirt we should add to the already 5,000 we have then perhaps there could be some real profit and meaningful work. It gets old having to go 900 directions because of the chaos those people create. Don't bother complaining to HR, they're useless. Many complaints have gone unattended to because they're more focused on other things, like writing fake Glassdoor reviews to boost the star rating.

Pros

I have worked with 2 very large corporations and one much smaller company, and by far, Bandwidth has been the absolute best work environment I've experienced yet. The culture here is like no other. I truly feel like Bandwidth cares for its employees and HR does an excellent job in hiring that helps maintain the upbeat, caring, 'can-do' culture. When you get to know the CEO and executive management you know why... this kind of culture comes from the top. I am also very grateful for the medical benefits that Bandwidth offers. Switching to BW's medical plan saves my family over $400 a month... that is huge! If you like an upbeat, dynamic, innovative, fast-paced environment this is a great company to work for. I love my job and I am very thankful to be able to work here.

Cons

My only 'Con' is that I wish Bandwidth was still located in Cary.... I drive further than I'd like to drive to work, but for the great work environment it is entirely worth it!

Pros

The benefits most will agree are great. Smart people and lots of really good people.

Cons

I really wanted to like it here but I have to be honest. It's very poorly run and immature. There is a lot of game playing. I am all for free beer and parties but dare I say it might be overkill? Too much play and too much goofing off??? I never though I'd say that but it's true. Some people are liked for who they are or who they know. That is obvious. I see many work very hard for little to zero recognition because they are afraid to voice anything that could upset management unless it's a person who is a good friend. How you are treated and the path you will take depends on who you are and who you know. I know this is true in many companies but it's over the top here. It kills morale and the ones who are dedicated and worth something keep their heads down. That's not a successful business model in any part of the business world. In fact, everything I've learned has been the opposite with this company. I've never seen so many VPs for everything in the world you could think of. "The director of Janitorial services" reports to the "Vice President of Janitorial services" who reports to the "GM of Janitorial services" and so on..That's a running joke at this place. It's so immature around here so I guess an immature comparison is the only thing some may be able to relate to. I have to agree with the other reviews in that I have seen some things take place that lack integrity. This place could be so much better.
