Pros

Let me start off by saying no company is 100 percent perfect... I've worked in sales for a number of years and definitely know that. With that said, I would finish my selling career here. I honestly don't know why others leave comments saying that management doesn't have our best interest in place... We all just got significant raises in base that makes us highly competitive pay wise... That comment about an executive couldn't be more of a joke. Happenstance that executives knew me by name on my second day? Don't think so! Not to mention the fact that we're making changes that massive inside sales companies have made TO SELL MORE. There's always going to be those lazier people that are always upset about change... If you work hard, it shows here. Very satisfied with what I've been able to produce. Company outlook looks phenomenal, unfortunately there's a lot of current positivities that are happening here and I obviously can't share them (oh yeah the company is completely transparent (how I know things as an AE)). You'll eventually see on the news 😂. Big things happening. All in all, the culture speaks for itself. If I want to have a discussion with one of the founders, it's done. They've dropped everything they're doing to have a far less important conversation with me. My manager has turned into a good friend and is always a resource and never mircromanaging or a burden. I'm learning a ton and look forward to all the learning here. They're highly selective with who they hire and it shows. Phenomenal individuals, I know I've already established life long friends with the people that I'm working with. It honestly doesn't feel like work sometimes. It helps that I like a grind but still, I've gotten tired of a lot of sales positions on the past. If you're thinking about applying here, do it. See for yourself. You don't have anything to lose other than signing on with the top company to work for in Utah. 😂 Guarantee you'll be greeted by a ton of friendly faces that are more than willing to help you out (and trust me, we haven't been told to do so). No I'm not in management, no I wasn't told to write this, but yes I'm a massive fan of BambooHR. Very little compares to it and consider myself so lucky to work here.

Cons

Usual growing pains of any quickly progressing SAAS company? It'll happen at any good company you go to though... I've seen some electronically raising and lowering desks, maybe give those out to everyone in the new building?

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.
