"First HRIS system and continues to improve"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

Super efficient way to organize your employee data, store company files and policies, and very easy to use reporting features

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

No major downsides. I have found the platform to be very user friendly.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to quickly pull reports - from organization headcount, to department contact lists, manager lists, salary data, etc which has been extremely helpful in conjunction with other implementations we have done since adopting BambooHR. In addition, I can customize access levels for specific users to determine exactly what information would be helpful for them to have - which saves me time, as managers no longer need to reach out to request that from HR.

"A great way to monitor and keep track of all HR initiatives"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I love the personal insight I'm able to get within BambooHR like staff anniversaries, birthdays and vacations. I love being able to connect our hiring initiatives to Bamboo - we can collect all applicants directly in the platform, and rate applicants to help with qualification.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Nothing so far! It's highly intuitive and super easy to use.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

BambooHR has affected our work culture in an extremely positive way. Even through staff onboarding, the ability to send a welcome email to the entire team and letting them know that a new person is joining us is amazing. And

"The BambooHR team is accessible every step of the way"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I managed a team of 30 employees and researched multiple HR options. I ultimately chose BambooHR because it had a cleanly-designed, logical interface. The sign-up/on-boarding process seemed intuitive. That proved to be the case once I purchased the software. But where they really shined was after the initial sale. Over the course of several weeks, I had a great partner at BambooHR who took the time to learn about my business and educate me on how best to configure and manage the software to help solve problems. I've purchased other software packages before, and nothing compared to this level of service.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Almost none. I had some issues adjusting the employee headcount (a factor in the monthly subscription fee) when I tried to run a small trial before adopting the software at my company more broadly.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking employee headcount -- which was surprisingly difficult -- is much easier with BambooHR. The software vastly improved communication within the team as employees now had a de facto company intranet page. It's use as an ATS has also made the process of vetting new hires far easier. The most obvious benefit of BambooHR is the time it saves. The designers of the software were judicious with which features they included. After the initial setup, many of the tasks that used to take hours (and thus rarely got done) take less than a minute.

"Easy to keep track"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

Bamboo is so easy to request time off, keep track of fellow employees, and update banking information. The user interface is very simple and straight to the point

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I don't believe there's anything to really complain about.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's basically like an all in one. It's where you handle your PTO balance, time off requests, position changes, tax deductions, direct deposit. It's awesome.

"Utilize BambooHR to manage your attendance"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I love BambooHR, It's interface is well thought of and designed. At first glance you can immediately see your remaining leave balances as well as your booked but unused leave days. There is also a calendar feature which allows you to select the whole company or just members of your team. You'll never have the problem of booking a leave when many people are out.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Currently our company does not have a time in and time out. I hope BambooHR can be used to address this issue.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Attendance Management, applicant Tracking, Onboarding, workforce management, and performance management.

"Love Bamboo HR"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I love that we can do everything within Bamboo Hr. Request time off, see who else is of in the company , so many great things.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The only thing that I don't like it that we can't cancel a time off request after it's been approved. The person submitting the request should be allowed to cancel it.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been able to condense everything we do as a company to one area. :)

"Bamboo is great"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

Bamboo has a very simple user interface and it allows employees to complete self service changes. The directory is functional and files are secure.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

It doesn't seem to have great integration with other HR type systems. Tasks should be more detailed and with more functionality. Signature forms is not as simple as it seems, better to go through Adobe and upload.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are lots of training modules included with Bamboo and tasks are easy to complete.

"BambooHR Review"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR is a great solution for our company. I use it every day at work. There are so many things that you are able to do through this platform. I typically use it most for requesting days off of work and looking up departments of co-workers. I also have a lot of "off-boarding" tasks that are assigned to me through bamboo.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I haven't always enjoyed the editing capabilities bamboo offers for certain sections. The ability to get things changed without going through a "change approval" is sometimes frustrating. I would like to see some improvements in this area moving forward. That would help the overall experience. I haven't run into this issue very often but I know that the option to add something to your personal space without jumping through hoops would be nice.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am in charge of one of our corporate cards at work. One of the big responsibilities I have is to find the receipts my employees have used the card for and then attach those to the correct expense report. I have to look up and find which department these employees belong to so that the correct section of our company gets charged. Bamboo has been a life savor when needing to look these up. They even have a Chrome Extension that makes everything go even faster.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

There really isn't anything I dislike. I recommend this software to everyone.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've streamlined the following processes: hiring, onboarding, offboarding, performance, PTO requests, document management and creation, and SO much more. I love Bamboo HR!

"Organize our internal HR very well."
What do you like best about BambooHR?

We like the payroll management offered by this software. The platform clearly organizes employee databases, and allows monitoring of their absences, life cycles, and compensation. We like that it is easy to configure our self-service portal, and that the implementation of onboarding campaigns take a short time.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

BambooHR does not evaluate curricular summaries, does not configure payrolls internally, and does not allow to add comments in 360 degrees to the documents. In addition, the platform greatly limits the level of accessibility that can be achieved by attaching employees to the software.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

With BambooHR we have managed to track high-quality candidates whose information we can upload to the cloud without any difficulty. It is excellent for the management of electronic signatures, and to track the work of each employee, so that it becomes quick to review their performance within the company. It also served to allow us to leave aside the management of spreadsheets in our human resources administration.

"My BambooHR experience "
What do you like best about BambooHR?

It enables you to monitor all your HR archives in a single spot, alongside stay aware of significant occasions around the workplace. It's moderately simple to utilize. It's a fine instrument for little, single area organizations. There's space for a great deal of customization in the application, regardless of whether it probably won't be clear in any case. The web-based interface makes it simple to see your time off equalizations and calendar days off. It has some cool social coordination as well.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

There's not all that a lot to detest by any means. I really can't consider anything other than I wish there was the capacity to transfer preparing recordings and required culmination dates so we could give our representatives a chance to do preparing alone time inside a specific time allotment.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Capacity to have a holding nothing back 1 administration and having the option to expel some other obsolete administrations. Onboarding, reports, representative self-administration, work posting, off-boarding, and so forth. Center HR, Performance Management, and Workforce Management. Making demands for downtime, following representative information.
