What do you like best about BambooHR?

We found BambooHR highly adaptable to our specific company requirements and workflows, allowing us to tailor it precisely to our needs. It greatly streamlined numerous HR processes, such as managing employee data, onboarding, applicant tracking, etc, while also empowering our employees to monitor their progress within the company efficiently. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The time-off feature could be improved. Currently, we face limitations such as the inability to generate reports listing all time-off categories for a specific time period, like a month, in one comprehensive report. Additionally, BambooHR only allows us to display time-off in either days or hours, but having the flexibility for employees to view it in days while maintaining reports in hours would be more beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- It simplifies the management of employee records, ensuring all essential information is organized and easily accessible

(Original )Information
What do you like best about BambooHR?

Ability to make notes on employees that are not viewable by the employee, a place to access all necessary documents about an employee, easily track time off requests, see important information like contact info & birthday info, providing an org chart to see how everyone interacts across the org, and so much more. I really do like the product! It's also all so easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I really like that you can make notes on employees that are private from the employee, but it isn't very obvious in the system that the notes are private so I'm always paranoid that they might be able to read what I wrote when I wasn't planning on it. The system needs to make it more clear what is for the manager's eyes only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's a great one stop shop to have all the information about employees, but also to be able to track performance over time via notes that can be entered. That's a huge benefit to see a trajectory over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

I love the ability to automate and organize performance reviews, evaluate the work culture, and keep everything HR related in one place. I also like that payroll and benefits are integrated, as well as the hiring process and onboarding process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The price. The price is already pretty steep, and then adding on the additional features that are being offered, such as open enrollment, as additional costs that are also high make it not likely for me to add services. Also, there are a few kinks that need to be worked out, but not many of them have been addressed even though I have given feedback. Also, it would be a great feature to have some kind of message board that managers can post on, and employees can comment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I love that I can create forms in BambooHR and have employees sign them right through the platform. Our hiring and onboarding process is also now streamlined and completely digitalized. We also didn't have a great performance management process until BambooHR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

Easy to use, all stakeholders (admins, end users, new recruits) have an easy time finding what is needed and using the system. Was easy and fast to implement. We have everything but Payroll. Customer support is pretty timely and useful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

There are some basic HR items not available - such as HR Admins not being notified when a manager enters a note in the system about their employees. Makes it so HR has a harder time keeping tabs on what is going on with employees and their performance. Reporting is missing some areas that should be standard built reports.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

Very easy-to-use for daily HR needs. We are able to manage all HR items and the Leave management system is a bonus at how simple yet effective it is to implement for all members in our Org! Slack integration for leave is also a big win. The Support Team has always been helpful and quick to resolve any issues/queries we have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The only 'issue' would be the 2FA timeout. We use the platform multiple times a day, and after ±20mins, the auto-logout prompts a relogin, however, you have to use 2FA for every login attempt. It would be great if the re-login is required, but only one 2FA check is required per 24 hour basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ATS system is a breeze, which helps us stay on top of the multiple candidates and roles we have to oversee.

General Time-off management and reporting has been simplified compared to our previous product(s) we used.

Employee and HRIS management has been streamlined A LOT. We cannot use BambooHR for payroll (non-US based company) but besides that, all our other HR work is managed through BambooHR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

Generally, you can touch various modules (recruiting, HR, onboarding, time and attendance) to a certain degree. Although these are basic, it's great for a small business (maybe 50 EEs). there is decent customer support. Even if they don't resolve an issue, they are available and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The system is too basic - from recruiting to payroll to administration. I was surprised due to all of the webinars and conferences that BambooHR sponsors. I thought the system would be more robust. Some examples: 1) an EE cannot be split or have dotted line to another manager; 2) time off permissions are limited to managers; 3) an EE cannot have more than 1 positions they're clocking in under (as I was told when looking at the payroll module).

What do you like best about BambooHR?

Ease of use for both employee and admin. The system is easy to navigate and extremely user-friendly. The onboarding/offboarding feature is extremely helpful for all involved parties to stay organized and share communication on tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The chat feature for support is so helpful, but it seems to have been down quite frequently lately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Onboarding and offboarding processes often involve many different departments and many tasks. The onboarding/offboarding tasks allow each invested party to stay organized while also show a line of sight in where everyone is at in the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
