Core Competencies
Building a company, especially one creating alternative, never-before-traveled pathways to success is tough, stressful, exciting, fulfilling, grueling, demanding, fun, disappointing, and sometimes even hilarious. Anyone who only lists “fun and exciting” on a startup job description is being disingenuous.

Our Soul
Work-life balance, all while having fun, keeps us going
We Get Away Once A Year
Every year, our Team leaves the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles for a work retreat. Not only is it an opportunity to travel and have some fun, but it enables us to take a step back, think about our business, and identify ways we can continue enhancing our service to our clients. Denver, Colorado, San Francisco, California, and Park City, Utah have all hosted Bambee; where to next?!
Our Birthday Calls For Celebration
Birthday celebrations at the workplace aren’t unique, but Bambee Birthdays are! Our incredible culture and great team dynamics result in genuine, authentic birthday feels. We’re not going to win any singing awards, but our celebrations hit the right note.
We Call The Bradbury Building Home
Every business aspires to reach icon-status. We’re no different, and we believe it starts at home. So we found an iconic home - The Bradbury Building is a national historic landmark located in Downtown Los Angeles and a member of the National Register of Historic Places. Movies and music videos have been filmed here, thousands of photos have been taken here, and best-in-class HR advice is given here.
Group Events Bring Us Closer
We love team dinners and happy hours as much as the next company, but it’s hitting the lanes at the local bowling alley that really gets us going. Friendly competition doesn’t hurt anybody, and for us, it’s an opportunity to bring our company closer together. And honestly, a place where people get a free pass to trash-talk the CEO.
Team Dinners Fill Our Bellies (And Hearts)
There’s many benefits about living and working in Los Angeles: the weather, the scenery, the fours days a year when there’s no traffic. One of our favorite things, however, is the food. World-renowned for the available cuisine, our team loves to take advantage by grabbing a bite to eat after a full day of work.
We Are Friends Outside The Office
It’s a fact - when you like someone, it’s easier to work with them. Fortunately, we all like each other (for now). And even though it’s fortunate, it’s not surprising. That’s what happens when you hire great professionals and even better people. Our CEO or someone from our Executive Team meets every single person who interviews at the company; culture is at the core of our business.
Our Values
We seriously believe how you live impacts how you work
New Experiences Enrich Your Life
The business plan for this company was built on a beach in Thailand and our CEO believes in the value of life experiences...so we pay our employees to travel! Bambee offers a travel subsidy for people to have new, enriching, life experiences. This isn’t intended for people to buy a plane ticket to fly home (although that’s important; make sure you call your parents this week!). This is intended to inspire people to identify experiences they want in their life, but haven’t had before. We want you to have it.
Staying Fit Keeps You Focused
Monthly gym reimbursements? Of course we do that. But we also offer an equipment budget! Been eyeing a new mountain bike? Want to get into snowboarding? Need a new yoga mat? Don’t let cost deter you - we’ll help you with that.
Culture Breeds Perspective
Los Angeles: One of the beacons of arts and culture on this planet. Sometimes we get caught up in the day-to-day of life, but we need to be reminded that these experiences are right at our fingertips. Bambee reminds you with a quarterly reimbursement to attend a concert, comedy show, museum, etc.
