Pros

Bamboo is highly professional HR management software, and it performs much better than other standard HR software packages Ive tested. The overall look and feel of the software is very modern, which adds to the user experience. Staff members are generally pleased and found it easy to use. To me, the ability to manage around 200 peoples payroll, performance, and time tracking with attendance are the main standout features. I have been doing all of it with little to no help from others, and that says a lot about the software.

Cons

Tracking training progress and benefit administration are by far the most tedious tasks the HR department has to look after. While benefits are taken care of by BambooHR (technically), I wish they added third-party integrations for training systems as well. so that both of my tasks can be accomplished in a single place, which would save a lot of time and effort. And for the benefits part, bamboo helps us by interfacing with our third-party benefits administration software, which requires a lot of additional steps. This could be eliminated if bamboo had native-plant support.
