Pros

The people you work with are truly amazing. Great leadership who takes their time to do the right thing. The Bamboo values aren't just something they stick up on the wall, everyone lives by them during work hours and outside of work. Truly a great company. Great place to get a jump start on your career.

Cons

The benefits are great but they don't make up for the severly low compensation. Your direct manager is only allowed to approve up to 1 hour of overtime every pay period and unfortunately management doesn't realize that some teams have to work overtime because we have to hit deadlines for our clients employees to get paid. In payroll, there is a lot of micromanagement. If you don't like to be micromanaged, payroll is not for you. There is a lot of career growth at Bamboo, but if you start in Customer Experience and try to make a jump to another department, you are going to have a difficult time. When I interviewed for this job, I was not told what the position would be. Some of us thought it was a sales position and it is not. Be completely transparent with what the role is during the interview process.

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.
