Pros
- Fully covered health, vision, dental - Parental leave for new child - Positive PTO policies that encourage people to take time off and prevent them from doing work when in PTO - Stellar peers who are the most amazing humans ever. - Global, get to work with peers from many different countries - My manager is the best! - Regular events and challenges to earn extra PTO
Cons
- Even though we are global, the culture is very centric around the main office in Raleigh. The satellite office tend to get overlooked. - Recently, the company decided to require all individuals to work in office five days a week. I was hired in 2021 and was told that eventually I would work in the office a few days a week but would be primarily remote. I only selected Bandwidth because the understanding was that remote work would continue to be an option and i would not have to go to the office full time. Although the official company statement says they have told every new hire that Bandwidth has an in person culture, it was never told to me or other new hires that we would have to work full time in the office. Feeling like a switcheroo happened - misled. - Quality of life is decreased with return to office full time. My day now has 2.5+ hours of travel added onto it. That is 15+ hours a week my kids are losing out on. I have always made work decisions to maximize time with my family who I value tremendously. This company mandate has forced me to lose quality time I will never get back.
