Pros

They have completely ruined me. I'm not sure I will want to work anywhere else. So if I leave here I will either have to retire or start my own company. (I keep telling them I will need an 8 month notice / severance if they plan on changing my employment). There are three things I look for in any company I work for. 1- Culture, 2- Project, & 3- Salary. While I was going through the hiring process they mentioned something about work-life balance. I have never experienced that before. I thought it was a ploy to get me to come on board. My main three things were met, so I thought what the heck. Well it turns out the work-life balance is now at the top of my expanded list. BambooHR is a great place to work if you want to be spoiled: 1- Work-Life Balance: It's not a myth that is just spoken of, it's expected that you do your work and go home. 2- Culture: BambooHR only hires people that are a good fit. If you have the right attitude, you will fit. 3- Product: I have worked on many projects from the smallest to the largest companies and this product tops them all. 4-Salary: BambooHR takes care of their people. Your not just a number. They care.

Cons

Because BambooHR is still considered a "start-up" there are growing pains. Processes are still being defined. Mentalities are being shifted slowly. This makes for a little pain in the creation of process workflows. In addition, creating change doesn't happen as fast as it may in other companies. I guess this could be seen as a good thing. However, having been here for a while, it could go just a little faster without damage to the culture / product.

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.
