Pros

The people are great, the health care is insanely good. The gym and preschool on site is convenient to give you a good work/life balance. I enjoy my work and team, and get to go home to my family and not be stressed about work at 11 pm or the weekends.

Cons

I like being in the office but if you're looking for remote work, this isn't the place for you. Pay is average-fair, for the area, especially tech, and there's limited stock options.

Pros

Bandwidth has a good culture and good benefits, and I really like the people I work with. In my experience, I've had supportive managers that promote growth opportunities from an experience, upper management exposure, and salary perspective. It's also on a new campus with a lot of great amenities.

Cons

Very technical market/products to understand. The organization is very hierarchical with some top-down decisions. There's also a lot of hypocrisy with workers required to be in-person, but many exec and upper management roles are remote.

The Band just isn't the Band anymore.

Pros

Fully covered insurance- huge win at a corporate employer. The majority of my team was incredibly talented and supportive (though quite a few of those have since left the company). The "Bandwidth vibe". I love the colors, the creativity, the teleponies, overall the brand was something you don't find at other companies.

Cons

2 of my 3 leaders were inconsiderate, manipulative, micromanagers. Their teams are crumbling and leaving in droves and nobody above them seems to realize that THEY are the problem. Returning 9-5, M-F with almost no flexibility was a huge mistake for this company. I know not every person has this experience, which is another issue. It depends on the manager how you're treated. Type of managers that would question you if your Slack bubble went away. Also.. requiring such a strict RTO is absurd considering people are still currently being hired for remote roles. Complete lack of trust in their employees who are all some of the best I've had the pleasure to work with. Everyone *specifically in the marketing department* goes above and beyond whenever they can. I can't think of one person that would slack off or try to pass off work. Compensation relatively low even with the covered benefits. I left for a different company in a similar role and got nearly a $20k raise.
