Pros

Good people. Culture used to be great. Good opportunity for someone new in their career

Cons

It could be a good temporary gig but there doesn’t seem to be room for employees who have been there for a while and want to advance in the company. I saw them passed up or demoted over and over to bring in new employees from outside. Toxic work environment with some Sr management who want to be adored and surrounded by friends from their passed who will be yes-men and laugh at their juvenile jokes. Product development moves at a snails pace and BHR is getting left behind in the industry. It takes years to develop and integrate feature that could be done in months at other companies. Pay and benefits are well below market. I moved to a new company and increased my pay by about 50%. Plus now I’m getting live stock rather than the phantom shares BRH dangles at their employees as a benefit. Who knows when that will pay off. Leaving BHR was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my career.

Pros

If you’re complacent with being told what to do and are OK with the pay, you will be OK working here

Cons

There might not be enough space for what I have to say. Management is full of narcissist. Little to no accountability or responsibility from management. Management job is supposed to be helping the team and supporting them and learning the job which they extremely lack in. If you are OK with having someone tell you how to do your job that doesn’t know how to do your job then, you’re in luck. When the team was failing to hit quota, their solution was to keep it the same while calling the BDR‘s complacent. Management also failed to recognize that reps were obtaining quota only through going to events. A work colleague of mine gave feedback in a meeting and was later criticized for providing feedback. After that meeting, he was told not to speak up in a meeting like that. Yet they say they welcome feedback. Management finds time to do things that don’t benefit the team or add extra task to their plate. The organization also loves pointless meetings that can be summarized in two short sentences. My last piece is that the team has a mutual feeling about management and suckers up to them because they are playing the . Bamboo fails to recognize their weaknesses and if they managed to succeed, I would be impressed with how it’s been ran.
