Pros

Overall pretty solid company. I really enjoyed the investments the company made in helping new employees learn the business and products. Telecom isn’t something most software sellers have a general knowledge of and leadership there recognizes this. To that end the onboarding process is fairly intensive and every week there are available learning sessions that anyone can attend. The other employees there are great (from my experience) and it seems the company focuses on finding and hiring really exceptional people. Other perks of the job are catered food on occasion and pretty fun events thrown on behalf of the company.

Cons

IMO telecom can be a fairly difficult product to sell. From an enterprise perspective, DMs are not in the slightest focusing on their telecom as a potential area to save money or enhance their current standing. If you’re working in the enterprise realm you’ll find yourself calling telecom/network managers constantly with little results until you happen across one that is experiencing a problem right then and there and even then the amount of effort for the lift and shift to Bandwidth’s network will turn people away. So buckle up you’ll be grinding to find those few gems. With all that said I think focusing on the software/API side of things offers a lot of value for SMB/MM. The other con that comes to mind is the lack of work flexibility. CEO is a super nice guy but believes work should be done in person. Lastly there is only one mens bathroom on the sales floor and you’ll find yourself lining up with the other guys to wait your turn.

Very happy in London

Pros

I've been at Bandwidth for 8 months now and I can't believe some of the negative comments on here. The majority are from Raleigh, so I don't think this should speak for the feeling of the whole company. Particularly in London, we have a high degree of flexibility - we've been asked to come in 3 days which is pretty standard with other companies now. There's lots of pros to list - - Great culture, with people who work hard and care about their jobs - who also have a laugh!! - Amazing work life balance, you're encouraged to switch off after hours and not be contacted on annual leave - Lots of team events, free food, drinks etc. - Beautiful office, lots of space and desks - Growing company with lots of opportunity

Cons

- We are a smaller satellite office, communication, messaging and processes aren't always consistent. This needs to improve for us to deliver on our big targets - David Morken (CEO) hasn't visited London yet.
