Pros

BambooHR includes features not found in other software, such as posting and viewing announcements. It's been an excellent tool for our HR team to share updates and benefits information in a convenient, accessible place.

Cons

The People directory is a bit challenging to filter and use. While I can search by name or department, the results do not sort by title. For instance, searching for Customer Success Manager yields no results, which seems unhelpful and not very intuitive when looking for a specific person.
