Pros

I’ve worked at Bandwidth for 2 years now, and the first thing I discovered is that achievements are noticed….by everybody. I’ve received congratulations from employees I’d never even met. It’s a good feeling to know that your accomplishments are recognized by more than just your immediate co-workers. The company strives to achieve a work/life balance. Many companies talk about it, but I’ve never worked for a company that actually does it. Having 90 minutes at lunch in order to work out is amazing and really helps break up the day. We’ve always had access to a gym or various lunch sports, but now, we also have a personal trainer on site 3 days a week. We’ve also had company-wide competitions the last 3 months that have led to multiple days off for the entire company. I cannot stress enough how amazing it is to have health insurance paid for 100%. The CEO, David, is extremely approachable and accessible. He has a Q&A every Thursday that’s open to all employees. He genuinely cares about the employees here and strives to make this the best place to work in the area.

Cons

I’ve had 10 desks in the two years I’ve worked here. Some of this was due to the fact that we moved the entire company to a different building and others were from promotions, but this company is constantly evolving. If you can’t handle rapid change, this may not be the company for you. Communication could be better. Every quarter, we go over the financials from the previous quarter, but rarely do we go over projections for the future. Maybe it’s confidential, maybe it’s not, but it would still be nice to see a vision for the future.

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.
