Bandwidth reviews

This is not the Bandwidth I heard so many great stories about when I started. Seems like the people who had all these good experiences left long ago. Now this place is an inflexible workplace led by a CEO who will be remembered for taking the stock price from close to $200 to under $10. I should have done better research and seen the writing on the wall when most of the "C" people (likely those that were running the company when it actually cared about people) left and were replaced.

- In person culture, but ONLY for most - some VP/Director/C-level individuals aren't expected to be there every day like the rest of us. Some hypothesize that the shift to make it mandatory that everyone return to in office 5 days a week is a way of weeding out people without having to do rounds of layoffs and keep up with their reputation (This coincided with Twilio (a competitor) announcing a round of layoffs) - Internal Red Tap - wow you will encounter so much running around and internal roadblocks that it really does inhibit progress (I understand being public comes with nuances but it's ridiculous there) - Job responsibilities-to-titles don't necessarily line up with how they are in the rest of industries. This made it ambiguous especially with the somewhat bloated and odd marketing org structure - I'm being nitpicky but the equipment (laptop) I got was trash, slow and borderline inadequate - A personal con was that I continually asked for what a career path looked like and how I could obtain certain advancements - Another personal nitpicky thing is I watched people waste large amounts of money, dump projects and generally fail, but then turn around and get promotions...all while I saved the company more than my salary, deliver on projects and foster efficiency and wasn't so much as given a path to where I could advance.
