Pros

I left a stable job at a larger company to have a meaningful impact at BambooHR. I have not regretted it. Even at our current size, I still feel like I need to bring my A-game everyday, no slacking off allowed. This greatly appeals to me, because we have a culture of working efficiently and getting things done. Everyone is working towards the same goal, and we all have a feeling of ownership over the product and experience; from sales to implementation to customer service. I have had to grow significantly and continually learn and try new things to keep up with our pace and goals.

Cons

I miss the days when we were a smaller company, but our current size has benefits too.

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.
