Pros

I'm glad to work at BambooHR because of the company culture. It's an interesting mix of encouragement that pushes you to be better while also requiring a healthy balance between your work and home life. Their philosophy is that if you stay balanced at home, you will be happier/more productive at work. We have enormous goals, but I'm culturally expected to spend time recharging with my family.

Cons

It's tough! Our team goals get bigger each month and there's not much time to take a breath and appreciate the cool thing we've accomplished before we're off trying to conquer the next mountain. Our whole company has doubled in size in the last 6 months. I worry that new employees will misunderstand the emphasis on work life balance for an "easy" place to work. We need folks joining the team wanting to make a meaningful difference in the world - not because they know they won't have to work 80 hours a week.

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.
