Decent Salary

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The Voxbone teams (that came along with the acquisition of Voxbone) were not split, and so they continued to deliver quality and quantity. Decent Salary

Cons

Working 100% from office (if you were part of top management you could be an exception) Top management won't listen to the engineers. US didn't really care of the EU employees and show unjustified superiority. Smaller benefits from year to year,

Hard Pass

Pros

Benefits, free weekly lunches, fab location in London, provide laptop/mobile phone

Cons

Took a lot of benefits away - free weekly lunches, hybrid work environment A lot of comments here about moving back to work in office is not a bad thing. Well to put things in perspective, most of my calls were outside of London so to be in the office for 3 days is excessive. Also it was dangled in front of me that I only had to work one day, maybe 2, in the office - to take that away is huge, because that was a key reason I accepted the role in first place Company keeps reorganising itself, which is never a good thing Too top heavy, too many leaders, and some of them are quite incompetent While I thought the culture and employee experience was decent, at first, I later found it was something really to check the boxes. Or at least my manager did, who was dread-awful and incompetent, in general My manager took advance of my time - sadly I let them - so didn't have much work/life balance

Pros

- there are some truly magical people in Bandwidth - strong industry leaders - global with travel encouraged - CEO & People/HR seem to care about their employees (try their best) - good opportunity for internal career changes

Cons

- top heavey leadership - high turnover - ridgid rules on back to office post Covid - salary increases are hard to come by - promotions are always the same senior people (to get them to stay??) - once the novelty of buying Voxbone wore off, it very much felt like Voxbone leagacy employees were the problem children - voicing an alternative opinion was seen as negative and not being a team player - CEO praying before company updates can be uncomfortable
