What do you like best about BambooHR?

The request option is my favorite. It is super easy to use and I value it since we were still using paper request offs prior to this. Easy for the employees to log in and create their profile. I use it on a daily basis and I don't think I ever had an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I think because I have 60+ employees, I would like for me to check off multiple request offs. Other than that, it is very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is benefitting me for the request offs and being able to store all their information. We used to have several spreadsheets and now all the information is stored in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

Ease of set-up, configuration, and use by employees and managers. Great features and expandability. Customer support is adequate, but really limited to chat/online. Hard to get someone on the phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

You're limited somewhat by what they offer. Have made a number of simple, common sense requests for changes, and they fall on deaf ears. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keeping track of employee data. While we'd like to use payroll, because it is limited on one US EIN, we cannot. We have multiple payroll entities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

I have loved how user friendly the app is for my employees. It allows for more employee engagement, self service, and information being properly distributed. Employees seem to like the platform and it keeps our company connected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The only downside is that you have to build out functionality to meet your unique company experience. We are construction based which can restrict the ease of use due to service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

BambooHR is helping our company distribute information to managers and keep all of our employee related information in one secure place. This is helping our employees take accountability for their records, their career path, and their engagement within the company. We are currently using the ATS tracking and Onboarding and that has created a seamless onboarding experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR is intuitive and easy to implement and use. The handy phone app is convenient for our team members when in the field. They can quickly and easily view their PTO, benefits and performance evaluations via their phone OR their desktop/laptop computer. Their Knowledge base is comprehensive and easy to follow. Their support heroes are very knowledgeable and responsive. Training of new employees in the system is a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Fortunately, nothing comes to mind here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had a manual system prior to BambooHR. Implementing BambooHR has saved us untold hours and accuracy headaches. Our PTO is always complete and accurate. Documents are easily accessed and filed. Notes may be generated in each employee's file. Onboarding and offboarding of employees has become easier. Candidates are tracked easily, offers are extended and background checks performed almost automatically. Our compliance has improved greatly. Reports are easily generated and pertinent.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR is easy to use and they are open to suggestions! The implementation was fairly straightforward and they provide a lot of support and resources that I found very helpful. Additionally, I find it nice to have the ability to not be locked into a contract - but the product is so much better than anything we've had before! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

While there are some limitations on customizing on your own, we've found the customer support to be great and responsive with adding features we need and always being open to feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main problem that BambooHR solves for us is the onboarding paperwork. Our prior company who shall not be named did such a terrible job with onboarding that we resorted to just using basic word documents/PDFs. Bamboo has made it so much easier and our new hires really appreciate how quickly they can complete onboarding tasks! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

User friendly, easy to use, helps keep everything in one place, including payroll; integrates with other programs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

There are some features either unavailable, or too costly to add on. The main feature that has been difficult for our company, is that we pay out Employer HSA amounts up front once a year. BambooHR does not have an option for this, so when it is entered in on their profile, it will show up every time we pay them, which causes problems if we forget to manually remove.

We also would love to have a feature for paying different rates for contractors we work with who have different rates for different projects. This is a feature recently added, but can be very costly when we are paying hundreds of contractors monthly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keeping everything central and accessible in one system is beneficial. We used to have payroll in a different system and having everything in Bamboo solves problems of having to integrate with other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR's interface is as simple as it gets without losing the wide variety of tools, customization options, and other features that can be personalized unique to your team/company. BambooHR does a great job of walking you through implementation step by step, making the process quick and seamless. Customer support goes ABOVE and BEYOND when assistance is needed, and the feedback we provide BambooHR is always taken into consideration, and, sometimes even implemented into the system right away! Our employees love the system, our HR team loves the system, and our managers love the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

BambooHR is still new to some of the platforms they've released such as Benefits Admin and Performance Management, so options are a bit limited in that area. However, they continue to add more features and tools to each of these each month, as highlighted in their monthly "Product Pulse" emails, where they highlight new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Effectively organizing applicants, allowing employees to quickly and easily access their infomation as well as other employees' applicable info, store job descriptions and benefit information, takes care of onboarding in in a nearly automated yet personalized way, streamlines the payroll process, and allows for fast yet effective performance management that is easy to use for both employees, managers, and admin.

The payroll add-on is limited and can be mildly frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We used to keep everything manually in spreadsheets, no onboarding or offboarding processes, hiring was willy nilly, using Microsoft Dynamics GP for HR which was a nightmare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

The design of the product is very clear and uncluttered.

Information is easy to reach.

Smart reports and analysis of the data is very useful.

Creating automations between Bamboohr and many tools , is possible and not taxing to the creator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Task manager can be improved way more than what it is capable right now. It is a great fit for single companies but i would like to see features supporting multi-tenancy / portfolio companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Collecting all the core features a company would need to have an efficient HR Department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
