Sr. Marketing Associate Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "BambooHR is an employee-friendly HR platform" August 14, 2025 5.0 Pros BambooHR makes it easy as a non-HR employee to review my personal info, pay, signed documents, and company policies all in a user-friendly interface. Cons The only concern I've ever had with BambooHR is trying to easily locate certain documentation. It's organized in folders, and I didn't have a great search function. But this was a minor issue. Review Source MO Max O. Data Analytics Consultant Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product" April 28, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Bamboo has been very positive. I enjoy the fairly recent addition of the Employee Community as it allows company wide messages that keep everyone in the loop. Pros As an employee, Bamboo makes it very easy to review and access pay information, request time off, and access important documents. The user interface is very intuitive and everything seems to work as advertised. Cons I have not had any issues with Bamboo HR since I started using it over 3 years ago, all functions seem to work as advertised. Review Source RK Ross K. MSK Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Satisfied with BambooHR for payroll and timekeeping." July 30, 2025 5.0 I have an overall positive experience with BambooHR. It is simple, clean, and straight-forward with navigation and displaying information. Pros The user interface is very clean and user-friendly, I have not had any issues navigating the platform. Anytime I have needed customer support, I have received satisfactory help. When I need to reference my payments from my company's payroll system, I can easily see it on my account. Cons I have not found much that I dislike about the Bamboo platform. There was one instance where it was challenging to navigate to a document I was supposed to complete, but I was able to figure it out. Review Source BT Beth T. Human Resources Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "BambooHR is great!" April 30, 2025 5.0 BambooHR has really helped us streamline data, reporting, storing documents, accruing PTO accurately and we also use it as our Applicant Tracking System via our website. We love BambooHR! Pros Ease of use and I love that I can store documents for all employees to see when they need them. I also like that now our PTO is accruing properly. Our company is a fan of the Employee Satisfaction Survey. We value the honest responses and it helps us address where we need to focus our attention. Cons I wish BambooHR would have a feature that wouldn't allow employees to request any PTO while they are in the 90-day waiting period. Alternatives considered [TriNet](https://www.capterra.com/p/192254/TriNet/) Reason for choosing BambooHR I used BambooHR in my last job and absolutely loved the features! Review Source AB Ally B. OT Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Bamboo a roo" April 23, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Bamboo is very positive and I enjoy using the site and having everything in one easy place. Pros The ease in site navigation and having all my information in one spot. I like being able to see everyone's time off in the calendar. Cons What I like least about bamboo is I get logged out a lot and when I try to save my info it doesn't always save and I often forget my password having to reset it over and over. Review Source CH Carl H. Consultant Maritime Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great system and easy to use" November 15, 2025 5.0 Really like the system and find it infinitely easier to use than some of it's competition. Easy to customise and tank Pros Very easily laid out allows you to customise your home page as a user. The ability to track new starts and see company up dates at a glance is useful Cons The timeshare function is a little clunky if you're trying to use it via a mobile app and solutions takes some time to input them Review Source GS Gabriela S. Implementation Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great platform!" April 20, 2026 5.0 I’ve used BambooHR across multiple organizations, and my experience has consistently been very positive. The platform is reliable, easy to navigate, and has a friendly, intuitive user experience that makes completing HR tasks simple and efficient. Pros BambooHR is very easy to navigate and intuitive to use. I especially like the home page, which provides helpful highlights and relevant information at a glance. Or searching people within the organization. I also find it very helpful to get familiar with the structure of the organization. Cons One improvement I would like to see is having access to pay stub and payroll information directly within the platform. Having everything consolidated in one place would make the experience even more convenient and complete. Review Source AO Ana O. Talent Acquisition Industrial Automation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Unificación de datos con Bamboo" December 16, 2025 4.0 Pros Lo que más me ha gustado de BambooHR es la opción de poder tener una base de datos unificada y la trazabilidad de un empleado desde que aplica a la oferta hasta que (si es el caso) finaliza. Cons Algunas limitaciones que todos los programadas por predeterminación tienen a la hora de crear nuevas opciones de filtro, etc. Review Source AS Anshika S. technical Consultant Program Development Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple and Systematic HR Solution" April 21, 2026 5.0 Overall, it is a good and reliable HR management tool that helps streamline processes and makes daily HR operations easier to handle. Pros The systematic approach and organized workflow make it easy to manage HR tasks efficiently and keep all employee data well structured Cons The interface customization is limited, and more options like changing colors would improve usability. Review Source LG Linda G. Disaster Case Manager Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple, Efficient, and User-Friendly HR Experience" May 14, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with BambooHR has been very positive. It is easy to use, well-organized, and helps me quickly find information. I like how it keeps everything in one place and adds a personal touch by tracking coworker milestones. It has been reliable and makes daily tasks more efficient. Pros What I like most about BambooHR is its easy navigation. Theres a tab for everything you may need. I love that I'm able to keep up with my coworker's birthdays and anniversaries Cons There's not anything that I can say when it comes to not liking anything about BambooHR. I only have a positive experience. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager, Business Development Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The BEST Site. " October 27, 2025 4.0 Overall it has been great. When I apply for jobs I really hope that Bamboo is being used by the company. It makes applying for jobs much easier than other places. Pros I have applied for many other jobs on different websites and the user interface and ability to add the necessary pieces of a job applications are most easily done on Bamboo. Other sites take your documents and try to put them into words on sections, which never works cleanly given the different formats. Cons Nothing has stood out so far that would keep me from not using Bamboo. If anything, I wish more companies and job listings would feature bamboo instead of others. Review Source JR Julio R. Sales Executive Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best HR" May 14, 2026 5.0 its a 100 Pros payroll, easy to use and communication. everything you need to use for asking for days off. to checking who's off Cons they're no con here. it's a HR app. keep how it is . doesn't need any changes. Review Source AS Ashlee S. Certified Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Bamboo makes HR smooth" April 20, 2026 5.0 Overall its been pleasant and easy to navigate. The tabs are labeled well and make sense as far as to what is stored within them. Communication with my team in each department is simple and effective. Pros It is relatively easy to use. Uploading documents, signing new contracts, updating direct deposits information with payroll, and ability to communicate with each department as needed. Cons It took a bit of getting used to in reference to figuring out where everything is stored and located, but once you get that worked out its a good HR platform. Review Source NL Nicole L. Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "User positive experience" April 23, 2026 5.0 Really great, one of the best systems I’ve ever used at work. It makes employees’ lives easier by centralizing everything in one place. Pros It’s a very intuitive system, you can easily find what you need. Additionally, the idea of centralizing all employee needs in a single access point makes it even more effective. Cons sometimes we see repetitive information for months... not sure if it's the system or the company's management of it. Review Source JP Jeannine P. Accounting Associate and Operations Administrator Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Accounting Associate/Operations Administrator" April 20, 2026 4.0 Overall positive- BambooHR has helped to streamline things we used to do manually such as track PTO. Pros Bambo is easy to use and fairly intuitive. I like that there is a APP that can be used as well so that it is accesible from home easily. For example, if you need to request a sick day you don't have to long into your computer to do so. Cons Some features, like goals while customizable don't allow you to delete the preloaded goals that were loaded by BambooHR. Review Source EB Elyse B. Housing Case Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Elyse Bamboo Review." May 14, 2026 5.0 Easy to use, and just a general very good lay out. The Design is pleasing to the eye, and always something that is fast to use. Pros Being able to look up all my information and find co workers contact information fast. I like that when I needed to file taxes all my information was easy to pull up and file. Cons Sometimes it mixes up my preferred name. I think the process for accessing our reviews is slow, and sometimes confusing.

Everything I need is visible as soon as I log in. Pros I can see everything related to my job position, including time off, benefits, and related information. Cons I can't access each person's profile individually and see all their features and everything else. I also can't change my own profile picture. Review Source GC Gerasimos C. Senior Digital Media Executive Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Employee Review - Happy with the platform" April 27, 2026 5.0 It was easy to learn how to use and still gives me no hassle doing the usual tasks like planning my leave, checking my balance for leave days, checking holidays etc. Pros As an employee it's really easy to use and presents the info I need the most at a quick glance and streamlined. Cons Its pro that it's very streamlined, kind of is a con as well as it could be more feature reach and have integrations with MS teams etc. so that you could reach your colleagues from Bamboo on those platforms in a few clicks. Review Source JL Joon L. COO Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's great, but to take care subsidiaires, it needs more features" March 10, 2025 4.0 The overall experience with BambooHR is great. My company with 150 employees is using it. However, as mentioned for Cons, it needs more features for companies with subsidiaries Pros Bamboo HR's UX is straight forward. It's easy to find where payroll is, org chart is and etc. Since BambooHR should be simple for all the employees to easily use, having straight forward UX is great. Cons Bamboohr doesn't provide subsidiaries options. It works for one single company. However, these days, there are lots of companies with subsidiaries and manage them. BambooHR doesn't support that option. Therefore from the perspective of management, BambooHR doesn't satisfy all demands.

Sales Compensation Analyst Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best-in-class UI, but lacked the depth for complex payroll" December 22, 2025 3.0 A delightful tool for employees, but a bit too simple for power-user Admins. If you want a system that people actually enjoy logging into, this is it. Pros The user interface is beautiful and friendly. Features like "Celebrations" (birthdays/anniversaries) and the company announcements feed helped build a sense of community that is hard to replicate in clunkier enterprise tools. Customer Support was also generally very responsive and helpful compared to the ticket queues of larger vendors. Cons The Payroll and benefits administration features are somewhat basic. If you have complex commission structures (like we do with CIQ) or multi-state tax nuances, BambooHR struggles to handle them natively. We found ourselves using too many workarounds outside the system. Review Source SM Sandra M. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Reliable and user-friendly " August 10, 2025 5.0 Pros BambooHR is a centralized place for payroll, HCM, recruiting, onboarding, offboarding, and employee engagement. I love how it is so intuitive to use. Cons I’ve noticed since recent updates, employee informations being deleted upon offborading, this information is hugely important and should always be retained. Review Source DC Daniel C. Automation Engineer Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Low touch, transparent and useful" May 6, 2026 5.0 Efficient, low touch and useful. Seeing whos out from my team rather than swimming through other teams is good. Pros Easy to use - simple to schedule leave and transparent. I like the org chart too; given the changing nature of our employees being able to see who sits where without the need for a meeting is a win. Cons Personally think it would be good if there was a slack intergration where when im on leave, its reflected in my slack status Review Source JV JEDD V. senior advisor Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "BambooHR-REVIEW" April 22, 2026 5.0 10/10, no issues other than being slow sometimes, everything is understandable and self explanatory. Pros easy to navigate and communicate, easy to understand and action different processes, payroll info and its value for money Cons sometimes its a bit slow but overall it provides customer support. it allows for small business management and smooth process flow. Review Source MP Matthew P. Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "BambooHR is a superb Employee Management Software" March 25, 2025 5.0 This has been a winner software for my company of 150 employees. Pros Great for everything to do with employee management, performance reviews, shared essential data and much more Cons Sometimes under “Hiring”, individual resumes and cover letters will not open in Chrome. When this has happened, I have switched to Microsoft Edge. Later I discovered that simply refreshing the browser sometimes corrects this problem in Chrome. Review Source TS Tom S. Customer Growth and Loyalty Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Bamboo HR Rocks" May 14, 2026 5.0 I use it everyday to in put my time for the day. I use it to view my paystub. I also use it to submit days off. Pros Bamboo HR is really easy to use. I have never have an issue with it (knock on wood). The steps to request days off, or fill out forms are very user friendly. Cons Nothing that I can think of. I have been using it for a few years, and have not encountered any problems with Bamboo HR.
