Pros

BambooHR was a great place to grow in my career and work with talented and passionate people. The people are what makes BambooHR and the work life balance was great. I genuinely loved working for BambooHR for the first few years I was there. Middle management was supportive and truly cared about your success.

Cons

BambooHR is losing long time employees and having a difficult time backfilling positions due to the lack of competitive pay. While their conservativeness has served them well to get them to where they are now, the penny pinching is what has been their recent downfall and a major point of contention amongst employees. Long time employees asking for market rate pay are labeled as disgruntled and therefore not worth giving a raise when in reality they wouldn't have left or become disgruntled if they had been paid fairly to begin with. The benefits that were once top of the industry are now industry standard but are often sited as the reason for lower wages. Once the company hired the new CEO and focused on revenue growth without taking care of foundational issues the culture shifted significantly and the reasons why I loved working for BambooHR diminished overtime as the weak foundation could no longer support the rapidly growing company.

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.
