What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR is your one stop shop for all things HR and payroll. Being able to easily manage benefits and open enrollment, as well keep payroll data all within the same software has been so nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

We pay our owners quarterly via guaranteed payment without withholding taxes. To my knowledge, there is not a way to pay them through BambooHR without generating a W2, as they are K-1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Bamboo takes a lot of the burden out of reporting. With customizable report building, you can get the information you need within seconds, rather than waiting several business days for an external team to build this for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

A lot of the system is fairly intuitive, and user friendly for the employee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Being based outside of the US, I find alot of the functionality is very US-centric, e.g. to record sick leave the way we wanted here in the UK required us to set it up as a complex custom fields arrangement. It is also frustrating employees can't hold more than one role at a time - my employer has a lot of part time staff who have more than one role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We weren't recording employee sickness absence centrally until we implemented that in Bamboo and now we have more than a year's data in the system it allows us to target our support at areas and managers who most need it, keeping our sickness absence rate below the national average.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

From my perspective, this is one of the easiest HRIS and ATS to learn and use. Many of the features are automated and integrate seamlessly, and any skill level can use this system with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

As a recruiter, I do wish their applicant tracking system was more robust in some areas (interview scorecards, hiding feedback until all parties have submitted, more robust email features, etc). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a lot of different employee types across many different states (exempt, non-exempt, remote, hybrid, onsite, entry level, executive, etc) so this is a great tool to help us manage everyone in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

Nothing so far, we haven't run across anything I would change or that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needee a better payroll system that allowed employees to see all their information, including total compensation to see what we as the employer pay on their behalf. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the Onboarding because it is all automated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

employees cannot request a document if they move to a different state, there should be a link from the ATS as soon as they are hired the information that is on the ATS should be transferred to their Profile or be linked in some way. to be able to communicate better through the platform and make it more user friendly as much as it is on your computer it should be the same as your mobile phone. The implementation should be a little more detailed. and we should be able to communicate with customer support through chat. more integration with different communication platforms. Have different features in the automated emails and be able to change the approval person with out having to make the employee resend it, because of those issues the employees do not really use bamboohr Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has solved the problem of having to go to different signatures, recruitment, documents, and platforms all the files are in one place, and not have to switch or log on to multiple platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR has a good user experience platform with helpful customizations for reporting and tracking employee information. I've rarely needed to reach out to customer support but when I have they've been prompt and helpful. The initial setup was pretty straightforward and it didn't take long to understand the interface. Employees have had an easy time updating their information on their accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The feedback/reviews system is too rigid for our needs. The timeframes (windows) for people to provide feedback in not flexible, and it also doesn't allow people to save their work and come back to it. We've generally had to do quite a few workarounds to make the feedback system work with our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

BambooHR serves as our primary HR and performance management software. It is designed nicely and allows employees to access their profiles, update their personal information, onboard, provide peer feedback and self-assessment, and access company links all in one place. We've generally felt that employees have an easy time navigating BambooHR, and from the admin side have had an easy time with management of and reporting out on employee data.

Easy to use, variety of features, good reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Customer support doesn't help much over chat anymore, long tedious process over email now. They changed the structure of the packages, so now all of a sudden we will no longer receive any product updates or new features unless we pay even more money. Benefits don't integrate with very many carriers, so we have to continue to use a 3rd party for our benefits administration site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Tracking onboarding/offboarding. Tracking PTO. Ease of use/updating employee information. Applicant tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
