Pros

BambooHR is a company that really practices what they preach. We focus heavily on the values and mission and strive to get better every day. The environment is very happy, welcoming, and friendly. The people are incredible! I love everyone I get to work with! The product is amazing and our teams are constantly working towards making it every better. I feel valued by my team, and know the work I put in makes a difference. Best place I've worked!

Cons

As of late - focus has shifted a lot and everything feels more about the bottom line. Overall, this isn't a bad thing at all! I'm glad there are focuses around efficiencies and growth, and of course, change is going to come with some stretching. BUT - when those focuses start to strip away everything that makes us love BambooHR... when really dedicated people who have always raved about BambooHR are starting to disengage and are toying with the idea of leaving.. that should be a big red flag for management. Leadership changed, and pieces throughout the entire org are lesser for it.

Thanks for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We agree - our values and our people are key to our success and are so grateful for their hard work - especially during these last 7 months! We understand that the last year has been difficult for many of our employees as we’ve experienced some changes together, along with the move to remote work and stresses of COVID-19. We hope you know that we’ve kept our people and your well being at the forefront of our thoughts as we’ve made difficult decisions. We appreciate your insight about the impact of leadership changes and can assure you that our goal is not to change what makes us BambooHR! In fact, the opposite is true. We ask for your patience because we truly believe great things are possible for Bamboo if we can work together. We hope you’re talking about these concerns with the right people and that you’re being patient with them as well. At the end of the day, we’re all just trying to do our best as we learn and grow together. Thanks for being part of the journey!

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.
