Pros

I’ve worked at dozens of companies and can confidently say that the people are what makes this organization great! Employees believe in and practice each value. Collaboration is constantly taking place and it’s a pretty uplifting atmosphere to work in. The benefits are also unique and well thought out. The HR team does a solid job at researching what’s best and making it happen for each employee. The product is nearly flawless. Love what the developers have created. With the recent acquisition, I have no doubt that the organization will continue to sell sell sell. I just hope the customers remain happy if the employees are not.

Cons

I always knew growing pains were a struggle for Bamboo but when they hired an executive for the marketing team, it all went downhill. Most marketing employees are no longer happy and everything is being changed due to this leadership change. Ben, Ryan & Kent are absolutely wonderful but are more hands-off than they were a couple years ago. They’re the three who truly want to keep the culture alive but have allowed others to completely rule that.

Thanks for being part of the Bamboo team for so many years. It sounds like you really enjoyed your co-workers and the culture we strive to live. Thank you for sharing your concern about how we listen to employees. Using eNPS is one of several ways that we gather feedback from employees on what is going well and areas for potential change, and we're sorry if you got the impression that we don't take it seriously. As for individual Bambooligans, we believe in growing people. That includes everyone from the newest hires to members of the executive team. Every Bambooligan is encouraged and coached to grow from good to great, and the reality is, that takes support and time. We strive to create a safe space where individuals can get and give direct feedback from all levels and it’s critical that everyone encourages and supports the process of growth and change.

Pros

If you’re complacent with being told what to do and are OK with the pay, you will be OK working here

Cons

There might not be enough space for what I have to say. Management is full of narcissist. Little to no accountability or responsibility from management. Management job is supposed to be helping the team and supporting them and learning the job which they extremely lack in. If you are OK with having someone tell you how to do your job that doesn’t know how to do your job then, you’re in luck. When the team was failing to hit quota, their solution was to keep it the same while calling the BDR‘s complacent. Management also failed to recognize that reps were obtaining quota only through going to events. A work colleague of mine gave feedback in a meeting and was later criticized for providing feedback. After that meeting, he was told not to speak up in a meeting like that. Yet they say they welcome feedback. Management finds time to do things that don’t benefit the team or add extra task to their plate. The organization also loves pointless meetings that can be summarized in two short sentences. My last piece is that the team has a mutual feeling about management and suckers up to them because they are playing the . Bamboo fails to recognize their weaknesses and if they managed to succeed, I would be impressed with how it’s been ran.
