Pros

None. Low pay is not competitive with the market and the sales culture is not healthy. Forcing people to come back to the office and disregarding COVID is disappointing.

Cons

Sales culture is not healthy. Forcing people to come back to the office and disregarding COVID is disappointing. They're a family culture yet aren't flexible for the needs of their employees.

Sorry to hear your experience was not positive. We believe in-person when people are together is when the best innovation happens. At the same time, our leaders have always been empowered to make exceptions for special circumstances and to provide flexibility to our Bandmates and their families.

Pros

Coworkers are nice. I guess.

Cons

David Morken is a poor leader. He forced the staff back to the office with ZERO mask mandate, no query into vaccination statuses, and no tracking. If someone tries to speak up or vice concerns they are told to “Stand down” as if they were an enemy army. All he cares about is the perception of culture but Bandwidth has none. All they do is force people into an unsafe office because they’re an “in person” culture (which is a meaningless statement). People are leaving left and right. The pay is very low, only directors and above get any kind of bonus, there’s no ESPP, and zero flexibility for remote work. This place is a full on catastrophe disguised in a cult like sphere of happiness. Run away.

The safety and peace of mind of our Bandmates is a priority -- while we have a preference for the collaboration and innovation that comes from in-person work, team members have always had the flexibility to accommodate special situations. Additionally, while mask mandates are in place, anyone at any of our locations may choose to work remotely. In these unprecedented times, we continue to focus on our unique culture and Whole Person Promise of meaningful work plus a full life. We hope you'll reach out to People Services with your feedback.

Pros

Product is good and company is always growing

Cons

A few climbers in middle management who have no idea how to speak to people. I remember my introduction to one of them. I had scheduled a call with a massive client and this manager was going to conduct the call. The manger was about 7 minutes late to the room we were having the call in. So I'm stalling for him and when he arrives he grabs my lap top out of my lap and starts talking to the prospect immediately. He conducts the entire call with my computer that I was planning on using to take notes. Then at the end he hands me my computer back and walks out of the room without saying a word to me. A few months later they laid off my manager (Who was 8 months pregnant) and that same guy became my manager. The low pay and bible thumping was already annoying. The combo of that guy becoming my manager and the CEO not respecting employees enough to take Covid seriously meant I was otw out. He literally would not allow masks in the office for the first few months because he didn't want to "give people in the office anxiety." I have a spouse with a health condition that puts her even more at risk. The day I quit I wore a mask in the office and on my exit interview the HR lady interviewing me sat at the opposite end of the table. She was a cancer survivor who still hadn't gotten her hair back and I could tell she was nervous. Seeing my former co-workers lying on LinkedIn about how excited they are to be in the office 5 days a week just makes me sad.

Thanks for writing a review. Doesn't sound typical at all. Sorry to hear your experience was not positive.
