Pros

BambooHR is a great place to work if you love a good atmosphere, good benefits, good people, and a good work-life balance.

Cons

The pay is definitely low compared to other companies. They praise the paid paid vacation but it's taxed so it's not actually the full $2,000. They micromanage quite a bit. But again, the worst is the low pay.

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.
