      Pros

      The people I work with are genuinely great, and the day-to-day environment is usually positive. Work–life balance is respected, and the pay and benefits are competitive. The perks are solid, and in the past, there was a real sense that employees’ perspectives mattered. Conversations with managers felt meaningful, and there was room to explore ideas or alternative approaches. I’ve had opportunities to grow, especially in the early stages.

      Cons

      Over the last year, expectations have increased without the support needed to meet them. New tools and processes get rolled out with the assumption that teams can immediately adopt them, but the training and resources aren’t there, which leads to frustration. Communication from management has also slipped. Feedback often feels brushed off or met with surface-level responses instead of action. At times, it feels like information is being filtered or withheld, which creates distrust. Overall, the culture has shifted a lot since I joined, and not in a positive direction.

      Pros

      If you find the right pockets of culture and leadership, you will LOVE it at Bamboo. The Marketing, Technology, HR, and Finance organizations have fantastic leaders who truly care about their employees. There are many opportunities to grow within these departments and career paths are clearly defined. Pay is not great, but the benefits are amazing.

      Cons

      There are SO many snakes in the grass here. Especially within the CX and Sales organizations. CX and Sales leaders are always looking for ways to hurt each other and they do - frequently. The organization is is going through a big growth phase, but it means that the pressure is INSANE right now. There are too many projects happening at once and no one cares about how it affects other areas of the org.
