Pros

Paid paid vacation, ability to work from home, starting PTO.

Cons

Be open is meant to be one of their values, but it's just a big joke! If you say anything other than 'this company is the best' you are shunned as being negative and before long will be shown the door. The employees are worse than junior high school students with their cliques and if you're not a super-religious Mormon, you will never fit in. The culture they tout is not one of business, but one of Progressive/Liberal Mormonism. Managers lie and employees have no recourse, you're just brought in and fired as not being a 'culture fit' without any warning. Assume the best is another value, but it only applies to some and not all. Once you get labeled as negative, it doesn't matter what you do or how you perform they will not assume the best about you.

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.
