Pros

BambooHR is really a great place to work. From the paid vacations, annual bonus, amount of PTO, and other benefits, it’s phenomenal!

Cons

There are rapid changes that happen at breakneck speeds making staying up to date a logistical nightmare. The meetings can be emails, we waste lots of time in those meetings. And at the end of the day, if it doesn’t “serve the business” or fulfill a “business need” we don’t get it. This is frustrating when we need extra support to do our job more efficiently and effectively, but the company won’t invest in areas without us proving that we need it. We wouldn’t ask for things to do our work better if we didn’t need them, and this ultimately makes a lot of us feel unheard.

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.
