Pros

- Not sure if it's possible to find a better work-life balance anywhere else. - Culture is super friendly -- people across all departments are friendly - Work with smart, positive people - Competitive compensation and good benefits - Growing company that stands by its values - Management is great at listening and are good people managers - Organization is flat

Cons

- If you know what you want, then this is a great company, because it encompasses what you want from a company. However, if you are expecting things that are unsaid, unwritten, and unproven because Bamboo is a tech company, then you better have a solid bulletproof road map, or else you will likely be disappointed. BambooHR is different than a lot of tech companies because it doesn't have ping pong tables and stuff, but holds great values.

Pros

At the end of my tenure, I really have no pros.

Cons

I'm pretty sure I was "quietly laid off", in the effort of sneaky downsizing without having to actually do formal layoffs. This place was a godsend and a great place to work on my small independent team, and I did great. Then they did massive restructuring, added layers of hierarchy, added process, and basically just starting running a creative team like a line of factory workers. I had a horrible time with my manager on so many different levels, and felt validation when others would reflect the same, but I reflect what everyone else says - narcissistic, micro managing leadership that I now understand play manipulation games. I was put on a performance improvement plan and finally quit due to burnout, stress, and the dissolution of a role and a team that I had from before. They constantly push for solutions and deliverables, but I never really saw anything I delivered actually get treated and implemented with respect. Company policies and siloed team policies and procedures stymie actual effectiveness, and it seems like the leadership acts as your strict grade school teacher rather than having your back.
