Pros

People at Bandwidth are great, flexibility and work life balance have been awesome and benefits are good.

Cons

The CEO just announced return to office 5 days a week no exceptions for all employees with very little heads up. Get ready for developers to leave in masses which Bandwidth was already struggling to hire and keep.

Bandwidth Response

Bandwidth has been dedicated to working together in person for the last 23 years. Most recently, we have been publicly building a brand-new campus in Raleigh to support our unique, thriving, in-person culture. Our commitment to doing meaningful work while having a full, flexible life is evident in the new campus's central location, state-of-the-art offices, onsite Montessori school, fully equipped fitness center with indoor basketball courts, and rustic gathering place barn and amphitheater. We are excited about our upcoming move-in date in the summer of 2023. Our focus on our culture has driven almost a quarter century of growth serving our global customers. Throughout the last two and a half years, we have been clear and open about being committed to returning to full-time, in-person work here and at our new campus, and are excited to be bringing everyone back. There are other great companies that will offer hybrid and remote opportunities, but at Bandwidth we have never wavered from remaining in person. We believe we are in good company.
