      Pros

      I’ve been with Bandwidth for a year now, and it’s one of the best jobs I’ve ever had. It’s invigorating to come to work each day. I work with some very smart people in an exciting, fast-paced environment. We’re working on some really cool stuff and literally changing an entire industry. I have found Bandwidth to be a very bold company that is not afraid to take risks. We have a lot of very passionate people who really believe in the company. I love that we’re small enough to be agile and able to pivot quickly. I love sitting in meetings and feeling like everyone in the room is smarter than me. I’m learning every single day! And I love the fact that management actually listens. My manager values my opinion. He may not always agree, but he always listens. I’ve worked for a lot of other companies – in Raleigh and beyond, and have never worked for a place that cares so much about employees. I was sick last year and the compassion shown to me by my boss, co-workers and upper management was amazing. They work hard to make sure you have balance in your life. My boss kicks me out at 6 pm to spend time with family. They pay 100% of insurance for me and my family and give me 90 minutes at lunch to work out. I’ve never worked with a company that offered that to employees. Some have said it’s a Boys Club. Any tech company is going to have a lot of male employees. I see a lot of women around the office, and I know that we have several women in management and executive level positions. My experience has been drastically different than some of the reviews posted on this site. I’m not doubting the validity of what some posted, just saying that I have not experienced any of that. It’s possible that Bandwidth has some weak links in middle management in parts in the company. Those people could be impacting the overall experience for employees under them. That’s unfortunate, because it really is a great company. I encourage employees to go beyond their manager, and talk to the CEO if they have issues. He will listen to you.

      Cons

      The fast paced, innovative culture is not for everyone. I love it, but some employees get stressed out and can’t produce in that environment. The company is hiring fast and they need to slow down to be sure employees are a good fit. Otherwise you end up with some negative, bitter employees who spend their days complaining. We need better management training throughout the company.

        Pros

        Great management and some of the best people to work for. Awesome team who are super helpful and willing to teach

        Cons

        The pathway to promoting is often 18/mo and the upper management will tell you that it's based on factors they don't bother coach folks on.

      Have you ever done interview & just felt the team or company wasn’t sitting well with your gut? How does that factor into your decision if an offer is made? Obv a job interview time is limited so you never know but sometimes I just have a vibe it’s not a match and even though I may keep going in rounds, I’m always checking if I finally get the gut feeling this may be right. I had one where round 1-4 the mood was off. I felt I was being nitpicked harshly always, they rejected me in the end

      For those who are/were in management- At how many years of experience did you get your first job as a manager? How did you make the jump into leadership? For people whose first management role started at a new company, how did you convince them since you had no prior experience in management??
