Pros

1. Quality of life: You come at 8:00, leave at 5:00 and never think about work outside those hours. When you're at work you are 100% at work and use time wisely so that time outside of work can be most effective. 2. Culture: within a week of working there everyone knew my name and something about me. This even occurred on my first day! The culture is upbeat, optimistic, a team environment, and very real. 3. Benefits: The paid, paid vacation is something that really motivated me to come to Bamboo but their health, dental, retirement, and other bonus opportunities are a bonus I didn't expect. I received four job offers before deciding upon BambooHR and after just a few days working there, I knew I had made the right choice. I'd recommend to anyone looking to be respected, to put in a good day's work, and to improve their work environment.

Cons

I know I could a bit more money per hour working elsewhere but the culture and benefits are so great that I value those more than I value an extra bit in my paycheck.

Pros

At the end of my tenure, I really have no pros.

Cons

I'm pretty sure I was "quietly laid off", in the effort of sneaky downsizing without having to actually do formal layoffs. This place was a godsend and a great place to work on my small independent team, and I did great. Then they did massive restructuring, added layers of hierarchy, added process, and basically just starting running a creative team like a line of factory workers. I had a horrible time with my manager on so many different levels, and felt validation when others would reflect the same, but I reflect what everyone else says - narcissistic, micro managing leadership that I now understand play manipulation games. I was put on a performance improvement plan and finally quit due to burnout, stress, and the dissolution of a role and a team that I had from before. They constantly push for solutions and deliverables, but I never really saw anything I delivered actually get treated and implemented with respect. Company policies and siloed team policies and procedures stymie actual effectiveness, and it seems like the leadership acts as your strict grade school teacher rather than having your back.
