Pros

BambooHR is an incredible place to work. The culture here is unmatched, the training is unbelievable, management is amazing and the executives are second-to-none. And you can't exactly complain about a week-long paid/paid vacation every year. BambooHR's has the culture that every company strives for and every employee is looking for. I love the people I work with and I love that the executives and management work relentlessly to protect the culture they've built. The training here is unlike anything I've ever experienced. Not only is it meaningful and enjoyable, but it continues past the new-hire phase and I don't just learn about the product; I actually learn how to use what I've learned in my role. Management is crazy awesome. They're receptive, attentive, competent, knowledgeable and helpful. Politics don't work here; promotions are merit-based and have nothing to do with your butt-kissing skills. Which brings me to the executives. I can't say enough about them and the level of their character. I recently had some very serious medical issues that landed me in the hospital for almost a month and unable to work for another six weeks after that. My first day back, the CEO, COO and CFO all three went out of their way to stop by my desk and welcome me back. I was blown away by not only the kind gesture and the fact that all three of them came by separately, but also the fact that they all knew who I was and what was going on in my life. One of them actually went as far as to call my wife while I was in the hospital to see how she was doing and assure her that my job was secure. He spent over a half hour on the phone with her and told her they were thinking about us and wished us well. He told her that I could take all the time I needed to recover and that I was welcome back as soon as I was ready. Who does that?! The executives at BambooHR don't just preach the culture - they live it. And it's beautiful. They truly care about their employees and their families.

Cons

I honestly can't think of any cons, but since I have to put something here, I guess I wouldn't mind having a Mac rather than a PC.

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.
