Vantaggi
My immediate manager and that person's manager are great (there are three managers above them before you get to the CEO in a company of 700+ employees).
Svantaggi
The CEO makes mandates policy changes in a vacuum without consulting (or even notifying) managers at Bandwidth. If you’ve ever lived with an abuser who springs things on you to keep you unbalanced—welcome to the Bandwidth work culture. One personal project of the CEO is ending remote work. In the middle of the pandemic he mandated a return to in-person work, lost most of the senior developers at the company, and today has no clue that this is why his company is failing to meet objectives. As if to reinforce this point, in August 2022 he mandated a return to in-person work once again (Bandwidth’s offices are a miserable half-wall cubicle farm that ensures low productivity...now with COVID). Again, no managers were consulted and existing policies about remote work were ignored (are the gone? still in force? No manager can really say). In short: anything promised to a prospective employee about their work at Bandwidth can be changed or ended at any time because only the CEO is making decisions about policies at this company.
