### "Easy HR solution"

December 10, 2020

5.0

I love it. It is much easier to use than any intranet or HR management software I've had to use in the past.

Pros

I love being able to have a single "go-to" spot for all my HR needs. In past companies I've worked for they had their own system or intranets, but Bamboo puts everything I need in one spot. Need to check my leave balance? Bamboo. Need to double check my IRS documents? Bamboo. Need a copy of my paystub? Bamboo. No more calling HR or visiting multiple sites...super simple

Cons

I cannot think of a major drawback to this software. I am just a user and from the user perspective it is very clean and functional

### "Excellent tool for HR managment"

July 26, 2022

5.0

Great tool, of course that it could be improved but in my opinion this is perfect

Pros

It is very simple to use. I think it cover almost all the features that you would expect from a HR tool and more

Cons

I was developing an app using the API provided by BambooHR and I found some difficulties with the specification

### "Super clean design "

February 15, 2019

5.0

Before we had Bamboo we were using another online employee management system, which wasn't a terrible system in the least but it was time to upgrade as the company grew. So far, one year into use, Bamboo has quickly become a staple, I enjoy how user friendly it is as an employee to do things like updating my contact information, request sick/vacation time, and access important company documents. Bamboo is well worth signing up for.

Pros

Overall design, ease of use, organization of inforamtion, cost-effective

Cons

There is nothing about Bamboo that I don't like, any time I have had an issue with something with the site in the past it has quickly been updated by their team and is well optimized.

### "Helps you track your time off and who's in or off"

October 3, 2019

4.0

Using this helps me track how many days I have, how many have been used. It also allows me to track my reviews and where I stand with completing my yearly goals.

Pros

It helps you track your time off. Allows you to see your reviews. Also let's you see who is in or out of the office.

Cons

In Bamboo, you can see who is in or out but it doesn't allow you to see if they are off, at a customer site or working remotely. Just shows that they are on the calendar of not being in the office.

### "Best value SaaS HRIS on the market"

July 13, 2017

5.0

Pros

Price Service Uptime Product updates Flexibility When you talk to BambooHR they respond fast and have a totally customer-centric model.

Cons

The "link-up" features could be better - ie onboarding, which is not that great, offboarding could have better stuff too, ie exit interview modules

### "Great HR Tool!"

April 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like how you can see the tree chart of your company and all of the people under their direct boss, as well as the searching capability, and ease of use when requesting time off, AND linking to our HR resources

Cons

For an HR tool there isn't really much that I dislike. I wish you could search while in the tree view of the company hierarchy but thats about it

### "Easy to use HR tool"

April 30, 2019

5.0

Overall, this is a great product with a promising backlog of feature requests. It's very helpful for non-HR employees, and undoubtably saves them a lot of time.

Pros

\- Very easy to use with a great UI - All information is organized in an intuitive way - When on-boarding as a new employee, BambooHR will steer a user through all the necessary steps without leaving the user "guessing" if all paperwork is filled out - All documentation is stored in a secure place - Integrated well with email to keep users up to date on all relevant company news. - Employee "tree" enables users to understand company structure quickly and independently

Cons

\- Bamboo HR does not currently integrate with out benefit providers (like healthcare, payroll etc). This forces to user to leave their system.

### "BambooHR is Quick and Helps Me to Access Important HR Material"

February 19, 2019

5.0

I have used it since October 2018 and recommend anyone to use it!

Pros

I love that I can see pictures and names of all staff members so that I can learn names and faces quickly when starting a new job. I also love to see my balances for vacation and personal time and can make requests online or on the app. I love being able to put personal information in my profile in case I'm traveling and cannot access it another way. The app is also good for finding HR documents about holidays, work policies and the like. I love it!

Cons

It would be nice if there was better spacing for the profiles of each staff member. And I want to see the all-time historical changes for vacation and personal time, not just the current year.

### "Okay HR software but not great"

October 20, 2022

4.0

I think it is okay. I only needed to use it fairly infrequently so it never bothered me too much but I do not like the time off functionality.

Pros

Performance reviews were fairly straight forward. Has a lot of features in one app.

Cons

I did not like the UI for this software, I found it hard to find what I was looking for. This software does a lot of things but it makes it hard to find what you need. The time off tracker was not intuitive and was harder than it should be to find remaining vacation days.

### "Great tool for all HR purposes"

February 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

I like how easy it is to request time off, and to see how many personal and vacation days you have accumulated. I also like the features that can be used in the "hiring" section, including ratings, comments, stages of hire, etc.

Cons

It seems like this software is somewhat restricted to some users and not others. I'm not sure if this is a change in the software that happened recently, but sometimes I can see who's birthdays are coming up, who will be taking time off, etc., and sometimes my screen is completely blank. For a while, I also couldn't see my vacation days available or request time off, that was a feature that only appeared later in my employment. I wish everyone would have access to the same basic features, like this one.

### "Easy to use and navigate "

April 24, 2018

4.0

Pros

easy navigation. Also like the payroll page as well as the time off page. Makes it easy to check on information.

Cons

Uploaded is not as easy as I thought, the time clock isn't the easiest to manage, would prefer and time in time out clock.

### "Best decision ever!"

July 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

We are a small company that doesn't have enough funds to hire an HR professional. In comes BambooHR and we are so mad that we didn't pull the trigger sooner. It keeps all of our HR items in one place and allows our employees to easily request off and see their PTO balances and much more!

Cons

There isn't really anything that we don't like about BambooHR!

Overall, BambooHR is a simple and yet effective tool that is best for small to midsize business.

Pros

I have the experience using this tool when I was working wikth a small-mid sized company. It is easy to use and straightforward. Very easy to navigate.

### "Recommend"

October 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love how personal the support staff is. Better connected than any other company I know. Felt like I’m being guided.

Cons

I can’t say I don’t love anything about it, I was originally introduced when I worked at another company to their software and a roommate worked there, I decided to take a look deeper and they greatly helped my employer grow.

### "Excellent HRIS for medium-sized enterprises that is simple to deploy, setup, and manage"

March 26, 2023

5.0

Pros

Onboarding, personnel records, time off monitoring, managing performance, submitting reports, customization, and a user layout that is both attractive and effective. It is popular among users!

Cons

I am sure that the function that I require foremost will be implemented in the end, however I would like to be allowed to file papers with hiring processes that are not associated with an application. Authorization documents and questionnaire blueprints, for example.

### "Great support and amazing functionality"

September 21, 2018

5.0

Overall, it takes time to set up on the front end and can be as simple or as complex as you'd like to make it. I worked for a startup and was sorry hadn't started using Bamboo HR sooner, because as our company grew and we had more employees, I think I would have had an easier time getting each employee set up if I had started when we were smaller. Word to the wise...get your HR organized early, so it's easier.

Pros

I really like how everything is personalized per employee so they can see where they are in terms of PTO and benefits, what forms they have on file and that management can change permissions for visibility and access.

Cons

I thought it was a little tricky to set up. Fortunately, the customer support is excellent and friendly. I chatted and called several times and was walked through to a solution every time.

### "Optimal for small-mid size companies"

April 21, 2022

4.0

Pros

The UI is very clean. It is very easy to navigate around BambooHR, and also the ability to check your org tree is great.

Cons

As my company has over 2,000 employees, it's not as sophisticated enough to run some complex reports that Workday can. This software is definitely a budget option geared toward smaller companies.
