Pros

The biggest pros for me come down to the Founders. Leadership starts at the top and they were open and candid with me through the hiring process and that same candor has continued after joining the team. They are smart, capable, and care about their employees. Bamboo preaches work/life balance and they mean it. They offer some unique benefits like, starting in 2015 (and after 6 months of employment), you can be reimbursed for up to $2k in vacation expenses. They just want you to bring a picture back to share with Bamboo of your adventures. :-) Working in sales most companies often overstate what you will make their first year. Ben (the CEO) gave me a figure that I could reach during my interview. He said that if I "worked my tail off" I would probably be in a certain range...I am happy to say he actually undersold the potential. I will exceed it by about 1/3 and only see the potential growing.

Cons

Health insurance is new to Bamboo this year and they started with a high deductible health plan. I know they will continue to improve in this area but for the time being we have to use my wife's insurance.

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.
