BambooHR Reviews

“easy to find our way around”

Pros

i love how simple it is to find your way around as everything is clearly labeled and easy to locate.

Cons

time off is measured in hours, not days but this actually works in our favor.

“made managing pto and sick days smoother”

Pros

Managing PTO requests, sick days and holidays is now much smoother. Like no more worrying about these requests getting buried in Slack messages!

Cons

I faced some difficulties with the onboarding process which may not be the software fault but there is definitely room for improvement. I had to contact my admin to get my account set up properly.

“User-friendly but reports are basic”

Pros

The interface is user-friendly and the HR features are thorough making employee management much simpler for us.

Cons

Well I feel that the reporting features are a bit basic and could use some more depth.

“Allows clear view of time and updates”

Pros

I like that it offers clear visibility into PTO, built-in reports for tracking time off, updates on wage changes, notifications when staff are out, timesheet tools and the ability to log hours by project or announcement.

Cons

Integrations with other platforms do not always perform as we expect it to be.

“User-friendly and nice UI”

Pros

The application is very user friendly and I find it visually appealing too.

Cons

The process of applying for a position feels unnecessarily long.

“simple start and hassle-free”

Pros

getting started was really simple and the onboarding process was hassle-free too.

Cons

from my side nothing to complaint right now. Everything is functioning as it should.

“good for teams but org chart needs work”

Pros

The software is simple to get started with, I would say it is great for handling time-off requests from your team.

Cons

Viewing the org chart isn't as easy as it could be, and updating it is a real chore whenever there are internal changes.

“Love the performance tool”

Pros

I really like all the features in Bamboo especially the performance appraisal tool as it works really well.

Cons

If it could integrate with other programs, I feel it would be great to connect them to reduce the amount of manual work.

“A clean and easy to use system”

Pros

The interface is clean and it's an easy-to-use HR system. Also the user experience is better than most other leading HR platforms out there.

Cons

Well it is a solid tool overall. However their LMS could use some expansion but it still serves its purpose.

“Hiring section keeps us organized!”

Pros

BambooHR hiring section keeps everything organized in one place for us and automatically posts openings to Indeed and Glassdoor.

Cons

At the moment there is nothing I particularly dislike or find lacking.

“well set up with user-friendly interface”

Pros

There's a lot to like about it. The system was set up well from the start, and the interface is very user-friendly

Cons

Some tasks can be a bit tricky and there are occasional lags and freezes.

“Simple way to track profile information”

Pros

It is a simple way to keep track of all your profile information and store all your work-related documents in one spot.

Cons

Honestly I have not faced any issues so far.

“Stores everything in one place”

Pros

Everything about my hiring process is stored in one location and it is easy to navigate. I especially like how it tracks vacation and sick days showing what I have used, what's available and what I am accruing.

Cons

I feel like the interface could benefit from a more modern design and some tabs don't seem necessary.

“perfect to monitor my progress”

Pros

With this tool it is simple to monitor my time off, goals and progress.

Cons

After I click on my time off, the request time off button disappears.

“User-friendly but training is a hassle”

Pros

It is very user-friendly as most tasks are broken down into clear, step-by-step processes.

Cons

Entering one-time training sessions is a bit of a hassle. A lot of our staff do their training independently and the process of adding different training names by going into Settings and then back to the employee profile is time-consuming.

“Simple to use tool”

Pros

I feel like this tool was really simple to use. We can customize what pages and information your employees see and they can view and download documents easily.

Cons

It would have been great to have a bit more customization so we could make it feel more aligned with our company's branding and needs.

“Amazing tool but links are not clear”

Pros

The way data is stored and accessed is simple and logical. Requesting time off is easy too and it is helpful to see everyone elses requests visualized together.

Cons

The links to different sections of the software are not as simple or well thought out as I want them to be.

“easy to find what we need”

Pros

I really like how easy it is to find what you need in BambooHR.

Cons

It would be great if we could send documents for signatures to multiple people at once. Currently we have to print our evaluations and get ink signatures from everyone because it only supports a couple of signatures.

“simplified our HR work”

Pros

This tool has really simplified our internal HR workflows. We have noticed it has helped us stay better connected with our team.

Cons

I have no complaints! The tool is amazing and really well-designed.

“Great for tracking my time off”

Pros

I like being able to track and request time off and handle other similar tasks.

Cons

Honestly I have nothing negative to say. The product is well-organized and efficient.
