Banyan Software reviews

The team culture is amazing — genuinely great people across all levels and geographies. Everyone’s approachable, collaborative, and easy to work with. Tons of learning opportunities. You’re encouraged to share ideas, take initiative, and stretch yourself, regardless of your title. You’re not just a number here. Your input matters and you feel heard. Managers and directors are super supportive and invested in your development — they want you to grow and take ownership. There’s long-term potential as the company grows. Some folks have even done secondments with operating companies, and leadership is very open to that. Senior leadership, including the CEO, is transparent, approachable, and genuinely interested in getting to know the team. That kind of openness is rare and great to see the culture has remained intact despite the growth.

Banyan Software is very intentional and thoughtful in its hiring process to attract A Players that are a good cultural fit. The company buys small to mid sized software companies with the intention of holding them forever (as opposed to flipping them like many firms). As a result, all of its decision making is within a framework of building long term value, which generally translates into doing what is best for customers and employees, in addition to growing the bottom line. It is growing quickly as a result of its success, but it is doing so without compromising its talent standards. By hiring high performers, and building good businesses, Banyan is building a reputation as an employer of choice in the PE and software space, which is perpetuating its ability to attract great talent. Banyan is a good home for highly skilled, hard working and caring professionals. It is not a good home for someone who wants to hide within a function and coast. Having said that, work life balance is valued at the firm.
