Pros

BambooHR has managers and leadership who are on your side! I just got back from a 3-week paid parental leave for adopting my son during which BambooHR sent me a $50 Doordash gift card and I went on a vacation using BambooHR's paid paid vacation program which had them pay for $2000 of my vacation all while paying me for my time off. That is just a few examples of how BambooHR shows that they care.

Cons

When I first started at BambooHR I was a little disappointed by the starting wage as it was $10,000 less annually than another company I applied for and it was the same position. I do think they are fair with pay though.

Pros

For many years, BambooHR was a genuinely great place to work. Most of the people are outstanding, and the company built its reputation on a culture of trust, autonomy, and empowerment. I made lifelong friendships here and learned a tremendous amount during my time with the company.

Cons

The BambooHR of today feels very different from the BambooHR that attracted so many employees in the first place. Over time, the culture has become more corporate and political, with decision-making increasingly centralized and less autonomy for managers and teams. The company that once encouraged ownership and trusted employees to help shape outcomes now feels more focused on top-down alignment and process. For those who value autonomy, influence, and being heard, this shift can be frustrating. Compensation and career growth have also become less compelling for long-tenured employees. I chose to leave because I no longer felt aligned with the leadership philosophy, the cultural direction, or the career path available to me. While I’m grateful for my time here, I would encourage candidates to understand that the culture many former employees speak fondly about may not be the culture they experience today.
