Awesome and caring people, but very little opportunity within

Pros

Time off is great, with added time off for competing in company sponsored challenges, benefits are pretty good - 100% paid for even in this economy under the Obama plan, so that's definitely a bonus. Benefits can be a little odd though with the deductibles and the amounts you still pay out of pocket, but it's worth it. CEO is a wonderful man; kind and generous. Opens his heart, and knows you by name - for a company of over 300 people - that's impressive. Most of the people are also the same - good, well intentioned people who want to do well. For the most part, it's a great place to work and you'll meet some cool and innovative folks. Bandwidth has its challenges though, like any company does.

Cons

There are definitely some favoritism that goes on at Bandwidth. Internal communication is also a really big issue at Bandwidth. No one talks! While I do appreciate, and am grateful for my Bandwidth SWAG, I think my T-shirt collection has grown to be too huge. How about an end of year bonus instead?

Pros

Great benefits. Fun culture. Minimal accountability if things go wrong. Great family environment. Great people.

Cons

The company masks a lot of it's problems by feeding you beer and fun activities. You will be mad one day, but you will get a free tshirt the next to try and make things better. Upper management is horrible. There are more VP's at this company than most companies in Raleigh combined. They have no idea how to properly issue titles and it's really frustrating because they are so top heavy with minimal people to execute the ideas below. Work and life balance is minimal if you're in a mid to senior department role. Be ready to be available by email at many hours and weekends too. It was said that David Morken tells you to go home if you're working late but that's definitely not true. A lot of the late night hours you put in are because of managements lack of direction and leadership. Once again going back to the silly top heavy structure the company has taken. Bandwidth puts all of its resources into one division and let the rest of its divisions fall to the competition. It was hard to see products that could have been successful dropped for assistance and innovation for the mobile division. Many people work hard, but more people play. If you're working hard you will spend many hours picking up the extra work of the slackers who are at Bandwidth to play games and drink free beer.

Awful -fake & full of it

Pros

Can't think of any pros with this company

Cons

I worked for this company for many many & held multiple positions. I saw a ton of long term employees go & the majority of them went in a very negative way. The second you voice your opinion that is not in agreement with upper management no matter how long you're there or how experienced you are you are ostracized. If you are a woman or over 25 your chances of being heard or kept on long term diminish even further. Sad to say upper management says what they want you to hear but then behind closed doors it's the "boys club".Let's not forget the bullying-yelling & demeaning way management speaks to their employees although again if you keep your mouth shut-head down & say nothing you'll be fine. Makes for a wonderful -stress free work enviroment
