BambooHR Reviews: 4.5/5 — Highly Rated

All our Personnel Files are in one place. We had an audit with findings regarding record storage. Now with BambooHR we are at 100% compliance.

Employee resistance to change. BambooHR has features we are not maximizing. The learning curve is low but the staff resistance factor can be a barrier to implementation.

Onboarding has become standardized along with the recruiting process. With BambooHR we recruited an Executive Leader from Baltimore to Houston. We would never have reached this person using conventional job posting techniques.

This tool really helped me with managing the flow of sourcing and candidate management

Nothing as of now because this tool provides most of the things.

The problem related with candidate sourcing and tracking

I love how I can book my time off, see my vacation time, upcoming holidays. Also, I can be reminder to take trainings or sign documents for HR. Another part the I love is the company organogram, where I can see the staff and who works with who. In my company, we also use the "goals" which I hadn't use before, I loved it! I can set up my goals there,review with my manager ang keep track on those. The assessments are also done in BambooHR. We do it every semester, where I review my tasks and myself and my manager give me feedback, which is great! I'd highly recomend it! Suer easy to use and intuitive.

There is nothing I dislike about it BambooHR.

I can find all documents, contracts and training in BambooHR. It also reminds me when I need to do a new training or sign documents.

Bamboo was a great surprise for our empleoyees becasuse it was way easier to use than the previous solution we had, the implementation although it was easy was a litle lenghty to adapt to different countries policies. Has good customer support, several features including different types of leaves and the frequency of use of the platform has increased very well since it was integrated with our other solutions.

Bamboo took quite some time to migrate from our previous platform.

Handling vacations, permission leaves and wide company communications

It helps me understand more things about the business

It sometimes takes a while for it to load up

Directing me to facets of my work that I may have otherwise missed

Very user friendly. Great time off tracking and ability to see future balances.

Monthly accruals don't happen automatically. Don't have the ability to pause someone's time off if they are on leave.

Easy time off tracking, saves lots of time

Bamboo HR allows us to access all employee data in one place.

So far I haven't seen any downside to Bamboo HR

Application & resume review has been a lot easier and more efficient.

It has all the HR stuff in one place on the website

it has two different phone apps for no reason, makes it hard to switch between similar two topics and two different apps

days off for my team members, their birthdays, hiring of new candidates (CVs, tests, comments)

The platform is very user friendly while still offering a lot of features. However, the single determining factor that has made BambooHR such a great product has been the customer support. Due to the number of features, there have been times where I couldn't quite figure out how to make it do what I wanted and all I had to do was pick up the phone and a CSR would walk me through the process. In addition, their FAQ section is actually incrediblly helpful. There is an option to acutally walk through certain processes in a demo format where it moves you click by click through the steps you need to take. Overall, this has been a fantastic tool for our HR department.

The only main issue we have run into using this program is a lack of ability to direct message. The annoucements feature allows us to push a notification to all employees or specific departments, but for an employee to message a manager or vice versa, they are relocated outside the BambooHR platform to email.

BambooHR has given our employees a method of clocking in and out each day. Additionally, it tracks all PTO and gives the employees a reliable way to check their available PTO, schedule time off, etc. The new benefits feature is also very helpful when open enrollment comes each year.

I have been using BambooHR for the past 6 years and I find it's such a user friendly HRIS (not only for the users but also for the admins). We are around 430 employees globally (Canada/US/Mexico/Europe/Asia) and all of our employees are using it. We love that it's so simple to add customized features as needed and it's always done in a timely manner by the BambooHR support group. We have multiple departments using BambooHR for different purposes (HR of course, Finance, IT). We, in HR, are using BambooHR daily and it's always easy, simple and fast.

I think I would say that one of the downside is that even though it is possible to integrate BambooHR with a variety of software, we haven't been able to link the vacation tab with our timesheets which are done through Dynamics 365. This causes a lot of manual reconciliation for our Finance team.

I think one problem BambooHR is solving is data tracking. It's so easy to customize and add any information you might need to track and keep in each employee's profile and then pull report with that information. Customization in BambooHR is great and really helpful!
