“It is apparent that Culture Amp is not able to deliver the necessary workflows, tooling, and reporting to align with the requirements of a business of any large scale. Despite our efforts to raise concerns, and the limited resolutions to our challenges, it feels as though the only true solutions we have been offered is to "wait" for future changes or to compromise our performance initiatives to fit what is available.“

### "Delivering insightful feedback with Culture Amp. "

August 1, 2023

5.0

We've been having a challenge tracking the employee goals and progress, and also updating them respectively which affected their overall evaluation. With , it is now much easier to track the employee performance and give credit where due. It has enabled us to gain valuable insights into employees' experiences, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions to enhance their company culture and overall performance and productivity. Overall, Culture Amp is an Excellent and easy to integrate software for any organization with intent of improving their employees performances.

Pros

This is one of the most user friendly software that integrates top quality analytics to gain insights onto the employee performances while ensuring that the user interface is easy to use and is available to employees at all levels in the organization.

Cons

I feel the 1-on-1s feature should be upgraded in that, it should be able to send an email of responses whenever a direct report or manager updates the conversation or shares a reply. Other than that, is the best.

### "Great platform for employee surveys"

November 5, 2024

5.0

My company purchased the survey module from last year. We looked at 10 or so other vendors, 2 of them making it to the final round, and Culture Amp being our final choice due to the experience we had during the sales process, the great UI, and and the support offered by their company. We've been happy with the tool after running one large company-wide survey and a couple of smaller ones. Culture Amp works hard to make sure employee data is kept confidential.

Pros

Lovely UI, easy to manage employee data, configure surveys, and track results through the tool.

Cons

There is very little to speak negatively about . The application is great and support has met expectations.

### "Culture Amp is great with people sciences, but the tool itself is terrible"

August 6, 2024

1.0

Not helpful with more strategic initiatives.

Pros

Not good for large scale and high growth organizations. Their integration with Rippling is a joke and leads to terrible data and duplicative profiles. Very buggy -- when you run performance cycles the UX is different for self reflection vs performance. It means you have to manually update and edit everything. Also, they don't have on demand customer service -- just the chat bot, so if you need anything more complex.. like talent grids or ways to review calibration modules, you have to contact your CS team and in our experience their solutions are super limited. Mostly they tell you to just download the CSV and then manually create reporting or detailed info outside of the system. Not great.

Cons

UX is terrible -- it is not user friendly at all.

### "Worth the money!"

December 30, 2022

5.0

Pros

I love that just makes things so simple for the People team now. They have survey templates readily available so we don't even have to design the surveys anymore. It's very user friendly for employees to take the survey and the reporting is the best part. It really protects anonymity while allowing you to take targeted action.

Cons

While the Performance features have many of the things you would expect in an OKR software, it's not as strong as their survey module yet. For example, there are opportunities to improve in the features for adding and tracking OKR progress. This is a newer feature for them though so I am hopeful to see where they will be at in a few years from now.

While the features appeared similar across the two platforms, had better pricing and also better accommodation for non-English language users.

### "Not for people with learning difficulties, good software but awful product support"

April 20, 2023

2.0

My experience has been terrible, not due to the software but due to the Product Support team. They take hours to get back to you and it does feel like they are not concerned with smaller clients.

Pros

The software platform is robust. It has a lot of helpful features.

Cons

Setting up the engagement survey can be painful, especially with awful product support. Most guides are in writing, so dyslexics will find get confused. They have a lot of bespoke terminology that takes time to get used to.

### "First time using, amazing so far"

June 11, 2021

5.0

Overall the tool has been amazing from a user's perspective. I'm excited to continue to use especially now that our organization is asking for our opinions on returning to work in the office.

Pros

is a leader in its space when it comes to employee engagement and I can see why! At this moment our organization is only using culture amp for employee engagement. So far I've noticed that (1) it's easy to get out to your employees (2) the tool is very easy to use (3) it's very appealing and looks really nice (4) Great customer support (5) easy to use for both HR managers and users.

Cons

I've heard from the HR team that at times it can be difficult to manage the system from the admin side, however, from a user's perspective - the tool has been amazing.

### "A great tool to drive performance and engagement"

April 20, 2023

5.0

Very positive. Our employees are much more active in our surveys now that is processing all of the responses. It's also much easier to analyze results when you're not running it through a google form.

Pros

makes it easy to set up performance management and employee engagement activities. Their customer service is quick to respond to any questions we might have. The ease of use is fantastic.

Cons

Confidentiality protections are tough to undo if you set them up wrong. Definitely make sure you read up on them before releasing a survey!

### "Versatile, knowledgeable and people-centric platform"

June 1, 2023

4.0

I would definitely recommend using to any company over the size of 50 (I am not sure that the investment would be worth it for smaller organisations), as it really helps shaping and monitoring the most important element of any organisation: culture (it's in the name, after all!)

Pros

has a bit of everything that contributes to build a company culture. From surveys to performance, from engagement to 1:1s, to the ever-important feedback exchanges, the possibilities seem endless! The science to back up things like engagement survey, recognition and 360 feedback is solid, and that is what makes CA the best in class for me.

Cons

The platform might not be super intuitive for non-expert users. The naming convention might need some getting used to (but the same can be said for other platforms), and the mechanics of how certain things work are sometimes a little intricate.

### "Culture Amp is an essential tool - I wouldn't be able to do my job as effectively without it. "

April 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

I think the UX/ UI is good, and easy enough to use, but also there's so much under the hood so that it's also a really robust tool. The product improvements have actually been improvements, and I'm excited whenever there's an update. The support team is also fantastic - I've never had a poor experience with the support team, and they are really great ambassadors for the company. The Academy is the secret sauce, in my opinion - in addition to support articles for operations and administering the tool, all of the research and literature around engagement and feedback, written by I/O Psychology experts has helped me simultaneously learn more about best practices, while also providing backup to the methodology when I'm presenting findings to senior stakeholders. Also - everything else does is great: Slack community, meetups, newsletter, etc. that I think they're building really great public culture and brand so... I want to like what they're doing software-wise. I'm well primed to like the tool.

Cons

Sometimes I wish the admin functionality was a little bit more robust - i.e. our organization structure changes a little bit year-over-year, but in order to map departments to previous years, it's a manual thing that the support team has to do. Or with the new inspiration engine, if it's customizable to the organization, I think it'd be neat to have a big library of actions, and be able to see which questions/ factors they're tied to, so that when you're writing new ones or building that out, you don't have to do it on the individual survey level. But that's a new part of the product, so maybe it'll get there later.

### "Great for Goals and 1:1s!"

August 26, 2024

4.0

Really great UI/UX on the site makes navigation and understanding really easy! Tracking goals and discussion points overtime and integrating throughout 1:1s has been really handy to stay on top of everything discussed over time.

Pros

It's great to be able to track goals and items historically across 1:1s and see the progression or recall things that otherwise would be forgotten.

Cons

No major cons. There are features that we don't utilize, but everything we do use functions well.

### "Culture Amp provides insights that move the culture needle"

December 18, 2017

5.0

Insight into our culture, the specific experiences of our people, a view of our managers and people (strengths/areas for improvement), an easy-to-use exit process that allows us to compare results and view trends.

Pros

Two years ago when we were looking for an engagement survey tool, I came across in a StartUP HR forum. It was recommended over and over by different people at different companies so I looked into it, along with a number of other solutions. Culture Amp came out on top in every comparison I did for its features, ease-of-use, domain expertise, and pricing. After we launched our first survey and shared results with our leadership team, I knew we had made the right choice. The tool is easy-to-use as an administrator and elegant/simple for end users. There are useful new features being added regularly, and every product improvement or new offering comes with strong communications backed by good science/thought leadership, and clearly having taken customer feedback into consideration. We now use Culture Amp for: -Engagement surveys -Manager 180 surveys/feedback -Individual 360s -Exit Processes (and I expect this list to continue to grow) The customer service is excellent with a responsive team that talks to me like a real person. We have great conversations, they get me the answers I seek, and they always appreciate my input about how to make the offerings even better. Our leaders and employees find value in the tool, and as an HR team, our ability to deliver insightful results to individuals and teams makes us highly impactful to our company as we all work to continue to build our great culture.

Cons

I find myself going to to do everything and everything it does not do, nor should it. I like it so much, however, that other options pale in comparison. For instance, we are developing a new performance feedback process - not a 360, not a survey, and I'd love to use Culture Amp for that purpose but it's not set up for that, especially because it isn't integrated with our HRIS. Each time we do a new, global survey, I need to upload our data to Culture Amp. It's not a bad process, but I'd love a more seamless option (it may be a limit of our HRIS vs. Culture Amp).

### "A great (but limited) tool for employee engagement"

April 26, 2023

4.0

If you are looking for a no frills service for engagement survey, is fantastic!

Pros

We utilized this tool specifically for shipping out employee engagement surveys, and found it to be best in class for this service. Though we ultimately switched to Lattice, the engagement surveys and the features we had with the surveys were incredible. We were able to map questions so we never lost data when we developed a new question or adapted one that didn't have a perfect match in their system.

Cons

We switched to lattice ultimately as we wanted a tool with more functionality. We use lattice for engagement surveys, career mapping, performance reviews, and managing career growth.

### "Fabulous platform that opens two-way of communication between employees and employer"

June 6, 2022

4.0

Pros

The best part of is the part of collecting data through surveys from employees that helps the business in fixing any issues that the company faces through the feedback. The integration with Slack helps a lot by notifying all the activities. The support system is very nice and there is a lot of training available that has helped us a lot to have hands on experience before using the platform

Cons

I would say the flaw I see is the pricing structure of as for what it does, it is expensive. There should be new automation and integration with other third party platforms too.

Good experience on using the results of CultureAmp to take action on insights provided by the tool.

Pros

It makes analysis of the responses evaluating emotions and qualitative and quantitative scores; the result of these evaluations and analytics allows a great analysis of different areas of the business.

Cons

Just the fact that it is more expensive than other options but it provides much more features than other commercial options.

It's super easy to use for a 360 degree feedback cycle that we use at work twice a year. The functionality is simple and makes sense and we've not run into any issues where users are confused.

January 10, 2021

5.0

is our tool and resource for our HR team that really allows us to dive into the team member journey -- from candidate surveys to onboarding and exit interviews - and everything in between. We've learned so much about our staff. I also love all of the resources within the Culture Amp trainings.

Pros

has endless resources to support your organization. I love the reporting features because it really lets you drill down into how your team members are feeling, how they are engaged, what's working, what's not, etc. It's also extremely easy to manage and track access to your organization's report. Finally - the customer service is second to none.

Cons

is on the pricey side. While we currently use it for surveys, there are other products we'd like to try - they're just out of budget at this time. (I still believe it is worth the price though - you get what you pay for).

### "A Great Way to Gauge Employee Experience "

May 15, 2020

5.0

Overall I have had a great experience with it. The UI is very intuitive and I love that we are able to get a sense for how employees feel about certain aspects. It allows us a greater view into what we need to improve as an organization.

Pros

We recently implemented at our organization and I love it! We have been primarily using it for employee engagement surveys. I love that you have the chance to send surveys that are anonymous for employees and also surveys that are tied to that person specifically. I also like how we can see when the survey was sent to them, and send them a reminder if they haven't completed it yet. We used it most recently for our global benefits survey and it was very enlightening in terms of what employees would like to see added to our plan vs what benefits they were the least interested in.

Cons

We have had a great experience with it so far. The only thing I would like to see added is a way for employees to elaborate on why they choose "strongly agree" vs "agree."
