### "A useful comprehensive HR platform"

December 16, 2021

5.0

Any minor frustrations have been outweighed by the incredible helpfulness of the live chat agents, and as a daily user, I see and appreciate the little improvements they make on a regular basis.

Pros

BambooHR revolutionized our onboarding, offboarding, and hiring processes. I especially like hiring can be a collaborative process between HR and managers, and that a hired candidate can be switched over to an employee at the push of a button. Saves so much time! I also really appreciate the e-signing and document management capabilities.

Cons

While some staff find the features to be intuitive, others do not. While it may be unavoidable and the product does eventually save a lot of time, the platform is extremely comprehensive, so initially setting it up and learning how to use it can be time-consuming.

Reason for choosing BambooHR

Our payroll manager suggested BambooHR (even though we don't use it for payroll).

### "Customer Service Heros"

December 6, 2022

5.0

I have used many different systems in the past and have had to call many different customer care centers for assistance. By far Bamboo HR customer care reps are the best I have ever had to talk to. They are all calm, polite, and most of the time they can figure out what I need help fixing with the most awkward of incomplete explanations. Never have I ever felt condescended at which is easy to do when you work as a customer care assistant. Sometimes I even look forward to calling when I have a problem.

Pros

The product is unlike any time keeping/ employee management software I have ever used. You can pull all sorts of reports and other pertinent information you need for all kinds of situations. It makes end of the quarter audits for insurance a breeze.

Cons

Sometimes it is unintuitive and there are many different places to make possible changes. Sometimes those changes get a little out of hand and I need to call and have customer service help me untangle it.

Reason for choosing BambooHR

BambooHR was already in place when I started working here. I plan to stay based on the exceptional customer service as well as the features in the program. It is perfect for the scope of worker we have.

### "BambooHR makes me job easy!"

April 24, 2023

5.0

Best thing ever! Really it is! I tell everyone about it and how much I love it!

Pros

I LOVE everything about BambooHR. I love that I don't need to hire an assistant because BambooHR makes my job easier. The thing I love most is the job applicant/hiring part of BambooHR. It is easy to keep track of all candidates, who we interview, we are able to rate them and make notes. I love that I can send emails to so many applicants at once.

Cons

Nothing! If there is anything I wish BambooHR had that they didn't already, I give them feedback/suggestions on new ideas. They have actually implemented several of my ideas/solutions I suggested so I love that!

### "Easy for employees to use. "

January 13, 2023

4.0

Pros

Bamboo HR, is a very easy to use software for employees to track their clocking in and out, their pay and W-2 information. You can easily request time off, view your employee and company information. It has a great interface for mobile devices and computers.

Cons

There are certain features, that require using a computer or the online website, that is not available on the app.

### "The Recommended Go-to Platform for Businesses"

September 13, 2023

3.0

Through this platform, I am able to know what is happening to my business. If I am making progress or experiencing shortfalls. Also, my business has seen some level of seriousness since this system was implemented. Overall, I will say it is a great platform

Pros

BambooHR has some great integrations. For example, the platform allows me to know when my co-workers are out of the office or even celebrating a birthday.By far, Bamboo is a great platform.

Cons

One time, i had some challenges and I needed customer support, but the response was a bit late. I don't really know if it's still like that. But I still got the help I needed.

Reason for choosing BambooHR

### "A perfect centralized hub for HR services"

April 5, 2023

4.0

The price may be prohibitive. We're on the basic package, and while there are several great extras available, we've decided against using some of them because of the additional costs associated with them.

Pros

BambooHR makes it possible for us to easily complete the onboarding process as well as draft all of our contracts, so we can use it from start to finish. Time off and paid time off features are great, and we especially like that they can be synced with our existing scheduling program.

Cons

I couldn't have done it without BambooHR's streamlined onboarding and recruitment processes. We don't need file cabinets because all of the staff's paperwork is kept in electronic form. I was able to hire as many as 50 workers in only two weeks by using this platform's streamlined onboarding process.

### "BambooHR is a fantastic, integrated tool!"

December 4, 2023

4.0

We are very pleased with BambooHR as our HRIS, and continue to be impressed by the added features and improvements added.

Pros

BambooHR allows our early stage company to implement cohesive, integrated, and automated HR process extending our capabilities and resources to support our team.

Cons

A little more flexibility in employee levels/details and how to incorporate them in (ie contractors, casual staff, etc).

### "User Friendly with great Analytics"

December 5, 2022

5.0

Bamboo HR has been great and their customer service is very responsive, knowledgable and friendly. The greatest value for me comes from the reporting and analytics.

Pros

Bamboo is very user-friendly and has excellent reports, such as turnover, sick time, etc. It is also possible to customize reports to generate analytics. The NPS report is excellent and again, has excellent analytics. We have utilized the data from the NPS to initiate HR programs and measure their success over time.

Cons

The access levels are not as customizable as I would like. Any changes to an access level can create other unexpected changes.

### "Great scalable HRIS solution"

February 15, 2022

5.0

It has made self service HRIS a breeze!

Pros

It was super easy to set up and is quite customisable for what it is. For our size of business and our needs it does everything that we need.

Cons

Integration with Seek would be good in the hiring app, and more non-US features. We're an Australian company and there are features that just dont work for us in benefits and some demographic functions.

### "Best HR software on the market"

December 1, 2022

5.0

One of the best experiences ever with implementation of any software I have had. Customer support is absolutely incredible, always quick in responding and will dig until they find the answer to help.

Pros

Incredible product for PTO management, onboarding, hiring, payroll, etc. Shopped a lot of options, and it is the best value out there. Hey have an absolutely incredible customer support team.

Cons

Only thing that is lacking is a full benefits administration module.

### "Don't miss out on Bamboo HR"

February 11, 2022

5.0

We have found it very useful.. The Directors love that they can ask for company wide figures and can be given them immediately. I hope to be able to add to our package at a later date.

Pros

I like the fact that all employee data is in one place. Employees like to see their levels of leave outstanding and be able to update their own personal information easily.

Cons

There is nothing we do not like. Every element of what we use works well.

Reason for choosing BambooHR

Cost, ability to cancel at any time should we need to, ease of set up.

### "Excellent Support And User-Friendly HR Platform"

November 30, 2022

4.0

Its note section is fantastic and beneficial. We can see all employees at a glance as it stores employees' data in one place. Its customer service is also good.

Pros

It makes it easy to onboard new hires and is very helpful to organize all documents. It keeps all the data in one place which make work easy. It is very handy and helps to know the employee's details whenever we want.

Cons

There is room for improvement time tracking is not flexible and there are no special rules for calculation. And also we can not distinguish between title and job profile names.

January 6, 2022

5.0

Great customer service - always willing to assist or find someone who could. The Applicant tracking system is very easy to utilize and the onboarding process makes everything a breeze.

Pros

Ease of making everything customizable to our company. Very user friendly for someone who is not very tech savvy.

Cons

Sometimes the programs freeze and I have to shut down and reopen the program. I was told by support that it is my connectivity, however, no other web based program does that to me.

Reason for choosing BambooHR

Price, user friendly, customer support

Their support has been outstanding both online and by phone.

Pros

I like the look, the ease of use for both admins and staff, and the mobile app.

Cons

In a few cases its features are pretty basic so if you have specific requirements in a certain area, be sure to check those out in advance.

### "Bamboo HR"

May 17, 2022

4.0

It works great for 1st time hires. It fills the onboarding need we have perfectly.

Pros

For new candidates & hiree's, this works very smoothly. Automates the process, keeping track of where everyone stands in the process. We needed a way to onboard 100+ summer employees virtually after COVID & this worked beautifully....the first year.

Cons

Two major drawbacks: 1. Even though I thoroughly describe our business model when we signed up, there was a HUGE disconnect on the rehiring process. We run a seasonal summer camp & rehire 50% or more of the same people every summer. They have to be reoffered a position & sent new onboarding documents. The system really DOES NOT do this well at all. Yes you can rehire people but no you can't send them through the same process as a new candidate. This seems ludicrous as a rehire is a rehire...they need a new offer letter & new onboarding documents. 2. They really rely on videos & online tutorials for their help. A live person is hard to come by & our set-up is not the norm & we need hand holding to work through the kinks. Sending me documents to read & videos to watch is a pain. Just answer the question.

### "BambooHR is a big time saver"

December 17, 2021

5.0

BambooHR onboarding process was completed in 3 weeks. We were up and running. It has been a very valuable tool. BambooHR also keeps updating features and capabilities as times change.

Pros

This is a time saver. As a COO of a small business, I wear a lot of hats. This software helps to manage all employee-related functions. Without HR being my main duty this helps with keeping things on track and tracking everything so that you won't forget.

Cons

I have no complaints about the software. It has only made my job easier to do.

### "BambooHR for 25-50 employees is fantastic!"

May 31, 2023

4.0

Being a non-profit, overhead operational costs must be kept to a minimum. Using BambooHR freed up money to put towards the programs, instead of operations, helping us to change the world for better.

Pros

It was easy to implement (with the help of Bamboo's reps), easy to deploy, easy to adapt, easy to use, and very user friendly. I have older staff who were reluctant to adopt new software, take to BambooHR like a duckling to water. So wonderful to watch!

Cons

To be honest, the frequent changes and upgrades. I understand the need to have things work better but some products, maybe have the deployment through beta be longer and more extensive before letting all users go through multiple iterations?

Reason for choosing BambooHR

User-friendliness for the end user; ease of use for the administrator.

Overall it's great and easy to use - good they are working through the bugs.

Pros

Pretty intuitive and easy to use. A lot of options in many applications.

Cons

PTO amounts are incorrect on paycheck stubs. There are times where taxable deductions (e.g., employee purchases) are deducted from paychecks when they shouldn't be regardless of end dates and/or cap amounts.

### "From a Perspective of Tracking Time Off, a Tool that Has Everything Needed"

April 20, 2023

5.0

Pros

We mainly use BambooHR for tracking time off and it does a perfect job with that. We also have basic company profiles and it is fine with that. Possible we are not using all the features, but satisfied with what we are using it for.

Cons

Possibly it could integrate into larger HR systems. However, this is coming slightly from a place of ignorance as I'm not sure if it can be used for more than our company is using it for. Meaning it is very possible it can do more than I know!

### "Great product for finance folks"

March 1, 2024

5.0

My overall experience with BambooHR is very positive! It's a reliable tool to help any size of company doing their analysis and keeping up good control over their Human Resources.

Pros

BambooHR is pretty easy to use and to create report that are critical for our forecasting and our financial analysis. While I didn't participate in the integration of the tool, it seems that it was easy to integrate and keep up to date afterward.

Cons

There are just a couple of small things that are not working perfectly (and it might be due to the way we use it). I was unable to create a solid report to analyze the salary increases per employee over time. Employees entries are duplicated over multiple lines which was not super useful.

### "Improvements ongoing"

May 23, 2022

5.0

Very pleased with the software.

Pros

I like the ease of use for all users - administrators, managers, employees and applicants. I like that customer service is easily accessible and friendly. I like that many components are customizable, such as tabs and fields. I like the ability to access old applicants and old job posting. Able to easily generate EEO-1 report. Customizable access levels. I appreciate the ongoing improvements and enhancements. BambooHR seems to actively find ways to improve features.

Cons

It would be helpful if the software allowed for easier sorting of old job postings.

### "BambooHR changed my life for the BETTER!"

December 21, 2021

5.0

Overall, it has been AWESOME! I resisted in the beginning but am a believer! Every small business should use this, customer service is fantastic. They answer my questions quickly and followup when that's necessary.

Pros

Saves time, especially for a small company. Everything is on one place and accessible to all. We are more efficient and able to go to other projects. Integration of payroll is also great.

Cons

Only a couple of little things, there's a small thing when adding a new EE before their first pay cycle (to invite them to fill out their paperwork etc), they still show on the payroll grid to pay.

Reason for choosing BambooHR

It seemed the most user friendly.
