What do you like best about BambooHR?

Interface is not overwelming.

Step by Step is really easy to figure out how to manage.

Customer Support is really good.

Onboarding portion is very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Payroll Reports arent completly integrated into the main Platform.

Payroll is limited, the more complecated the business the harder it is to run payroll.

Self service for simple options are not included, having to call customer support for simple options is time consuming, i.e. having "auto assign" employee numbers, adding "extra pay" options.

Payroll does not due multiple pay rates, holiday pay rate, or pro-rate.

Hiring from the hiring module, does not integrate into new employees pay profile what was offered in "Offer Letter".

Terminating employees does not streamline final payment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is easy to manage, compared to some other HR platforms we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

This has been a great product to do payroll and other HR business with. Very user friendly and easy to get help from customer service when questions come up with changes to my business. It is very easy to upload employee hours or update hours on the fly. All around I am very happy with using Bamboo HR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

No real downsides but I do wish that they would include notes field box in the "extra pay" area of bamboo so that when I add a non taxable reimbursement to an employee I could go back to see what a non taxable reimbursement was for or include a GL code or something that would help me distinguish individual nontaxable reimbursements easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They are making the complexities of payroll very simple and automated for me which sames me a lot of stress and time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a couple departments that are difficult to get in contact with like the report center. I have never been able to speak on the phone directly to someone in that department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

They implimented a way to pay employees two different hourly rates which I was excited about expect that it only works if you are using the time and attendance feature, which we are not currently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

I like the UX/UI, it is super user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I feel like BambooHR needs someone working in HR to test the platform, there are some funcionalities that simply don't work such as I had problem for months with e-signature, a variety of problems and it still not usefull because, even after the resolution of them, because the idea would be to use the e-signature for our offers, but the candidate/new employee would be able to sign it only after finishing all the onboarding on the system and becoming an employee on the platform. Also, it is very difficult to set the e-signature fields, if you want to do that for a forms with a lot of fields, it takes a lot of hours, once if you would do with docusign it would be way faster because of the mobility. The support is also good, but I liked when we had the support through chat. Also, a suggestion would be the possibility of creating the texts in e-signature adjusting with the templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I think that the most helpfull would be tracking tasks for onboarding, visa and so on and keeping data of employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

BabmbooHR is a user friendly interface with fun quotes and statements. It works great for a lot of different HR needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

BabmooHR does not support a Guarateed Payment for a business owner who would typically receive a K1 instead of a W2 during tax season. We were told prior to implementation that a Guaranteed Payment was supported, but come to find out after wages were taxed sometimes and not all and after months of trying to get it all reversed, we decided to remove our OWNER of our business from BambooHR payroll. This reflected onto myself, as I was the one to make this decision. The payroll team always lead us to believe they understaood exactly what a Guaranteed Payment was, but they did not...but they may know now. This platform still does not support this type of pay.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

I love how this platform is so user friendly, from employees to account admin. Our staff can range in tech literacy, however even the most basic mobile users are navigating the BambooHR app seamlessly with time off requests and timesheets. Previous systems we have used require a heavy coading approach from account admin, however Bamboo does that all in the background for you. Every day, any time, i am able to just click a button with my command and it produces a perfect report or function such as email reminders and signature requests. It is also great how it has the electronic signature feature, this has enabled out company to move forward in the tech space by having everything digital, no more printing employment contracts!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The only real vice is that it caters much more to the American market. However, having said that, the customer service is still very reliable and quite fast considering the time difference, and they are always suggesting imporvements or linked services that can cater to our Australian needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The onboarding process flows seamelssly now that it is all online. We no longer have issues with new recruits only sending 1 page of their contract back, as it is all electronically signed now. We are also able to track changes to staff information for our Payroll team such as personal and bank detail changes which appear in the Payroll change report now.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

We can always see and know when someone is out of office, New hire needs, New hire welcomes, Announcments throughout the company for any and everything! There are so many great things we utilize Bamboo HR for! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Few times our employees get logged out and it is hard to get them back in sometimes depending on the device they have. Updates come for different devices at different times so training is slightly harder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have great communication with all employees. We can ealisy track applicants together as a team effort for each division. The onboarding process is easier not on paper, though some have issues signing documents on their devices. We can notate any reviews or disciplinary actions through each employee file.
