Pros

Teammates and lower level management are fantastic. I don't think I could ask for a better group of people to have worked with and learned from. My management was very supportive of my career goals and growth while I worked here, and empowered me to continue growing and learning.

Cons

Salary and overall compensation is below current market rates by a decent margin. Benefits/insurance are only exceptional if you have a family, otherwise they're about average. Upper level management decisions and directives are often implemented with no input from the employees affected or their management in many cases. Strong emphasis on fitting every team into the same mold, with little room for self organization of teams. Little flexibility related to wfh before the pandemic, and no one could tell me what the policy on this would be as time went on. My managers were open to a mixed office/wfh schedule, but said it was ultimately not up to them. Bandwidth's covid response made me embarrassed to an employee of the company. The CEOs (conservative) personal beliefs and principals greatly influenced all company policy surrounding the pandemic and often went against or ignored CDC reccomendations. Finally, on a personal note, I found the praying at the beginning of every company-wide all-hands meetings to be very non-inclusive and often made me uncomfortable.
