It has clean interface

Pros

The interface is clean and easy to use and it does a great job of streamlining HR tasks like payroll and contract management for us.

Cons

It can be a bit annoying when searching for jobs as the search feature does not show much detail about each position, requiring more effort to find what we are looking for compared to other platforms.
