Pros

Hard working employees and some absolutely wonderful middle management who truly cared about their teams. You will absolutely learn a ton.

Cons

Once covid changed the whole work dynamic Bamboo couldn't hang with the hiring market anymore. The benefits used to be a pro, but now they're used as a facade to gaslight employees. A 2k paid vacation isn't awesome anymore when you're underpaid by as much as 20-30k (no, I'm not joking. That's real.). Phantom Units are used as a carrot to dangle in front of lower to mid level employees who don't realize that those units won't actually be life changing nor worth the stay. Upper management will continually site "market value" for their low wages --- even when you present with the actual data and job offers that prove otherwise. I suppose they'd rather hire their friends than keep talent. Task prioritization was a joke. Employees were constantly stressed and felt behind because leadership was consistently changing their minds while still expecting the world.

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.
