What do you like best about Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global?

The people we worked with during the sales and onboarding processes were amazing. Some of the best we've worked with. The employee experience was nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global?

The people were lovely, but unfortuntately that doesn't make up for the archaic and clunky software. Most of our daily and monthly processes were entirely manual, and we ended up needing to cancel our contract with them 6 months in. We moved to a competitor and couldn't be happier with them.

Some extra details:

What they don't show you in the sale process is the back end system, Prism HR, which is where an admin will actually be spending most of their time. It's incredibly archaic and unintuitive.

They don't prioritize integrations with other tools in the space. For instance, we didn't want to use their partner 401k provider (also archaic), but they have absolutely no way to integrate with any other providers (which is uncommon in this space) so we had to do a manual export every month, which was tedious because their back end reporting tool was so unintuitive.

Giving employees raises was overly complex, and their team actually recommended that we fill out a templated spreadsheet and have them file all the salary changes instead of us making the changes ourselves because their own UI was so difficult.

There's nothing that can be done self-serve. Everything needs to be handled by a member of their team, again because their platform is so unintuitive.

The onboarding process was cumbersome and overly complex.

We've been with a competitor for over 6 months now, and I'm blown away at how easy some of these processes can be in a tool that actually prioritizes the user experience.

Overall, we made a huge mistake moving forward with Sequoia. I'm not one to write negative reviews, but I wish I had done more research and seen more reviews like this ahead of our decision. Unfortunately I would not recommend Sequoia to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global solving and how is that benefiting you?

We bought us to help with payroll and benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global?

They have a great customer-first attitude and our client services resource was very helpful throughout the implementation process. They work with you as a partner and not treating you like a number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global?

No negative feedback, but since benefit enrollment is hectic, and they have a lot of great resource tools, the ramp-up to get acclimated with tools and systems can take some time to utilize best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global:

If need to update benefit plan design and options, as well as cost savings and adding more programs internally - they provide great data and insight into the market - to help make decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global solving and how is that benefiting you?

We moved from a small broker (tied to HRIS) to better our benefit plans and a better benefits broker. We needed to update our HRIS and benefit plan design, and we used Sequoia to partner with on this change for 2023. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works as it should be nothing earth shattering Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global?

Not helpful

Staff don't do anything to resolve issues

They answer with blanket generic replies to waste your time even more

Do not recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is the 2nd time I needed help correcting my W2 and unfortunately again they are unable to help. They will give generic answers which don't even answer my question.

Probably it is a great platform to do your generic HR tasks but once you have an issue - all their staff will act weird with ZERO intention of helping you out.

Post-sale experience is absolute garbage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global?

They are a PEO, it works, people get paid on time. They meet the minimum requirements/expectations for a business doing what they do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global?

Most of it.

- Their insurance plans offerings are very limited

- They have a lot of extra 'perks' that are really just a bunch of companies trying to make money off of Sequoia users (to be fair, this is the case for many benefits providers)

- Their software is often buggy/unintuitive

- They have no direct phone number for employees to contact support, everything has to be done over email, at least at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global solving and how is that benefiting you?

We want a PEO, they are a PEO, it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sequoia can help manage and locate all of your most important health care benefits all in one easy and convenient location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global?

I like the ability to view health care cards immediately through the app. This is great in case you forget to bring a physical card to your doctor or anywhere else that may need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global?

There is not much I dislike but if I had to choose I would probably say the organization of some of the items within the app. This is not a make-or-break issue it is just something going forward to look into to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global:

I highly recommend using Sequia to lighten the stressful load that can be locating all of your healthcare information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving the issue of having to log into multiple different websites and sources to locate all of your healthcare benefit information. Sequoia has made it easy and convenient by placing all of that information in one visually appealing place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is where I can view my company's benefits and perks, all in one place! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global?

I personally use the Sequoia app on my phone so this review refers to that. This mobile app is where I view my company's benefits whether it be healthcare-related or even just perks here and there. I love how organized and simple the user interface is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global?

I really can't think of anything I dislike about the mobile app for Sequoia. It is so simple and easy to use. I like having everything all in one place so I can't really complain about that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Highly recommended to have if you want all your benefits in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global helped with:

Specifically in an automation system, that is, the human resources area is considered very complex in the sense of data such as: payments, employees, interview, taxes, hours, amount of stressful information that must be handled manually, but with this software we release loads and allows to extend the use of the system. !! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global?

Sequoia has been a comprehensive platform for the management of benefits appropriate to the company and our needs. It uses integrated technologies to provide powerful management tools, and provides us with an outsourced service model with which we can offer a unified human resources experience to all staff. We obtain a broad and professional visibility of our business management programs, using data-based intelligence, managing to empower and improve the skills of all decision makers, leading them to recognize new opportunities and take measures that optimize workflow. Through Sequoia we get the proper guidance and support to effectively manage outsourced payroll, benefits, compliance and risk management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global?

The daily work of the whole team is carried out mainly within the company, through a desktop PC or laptop, therefore, the application with support for mobile devices contains many additional benefits that the desktop application does not yet offer. , so when we need any of these we must use mobile devices. We are not affected by this, but it would be a nice feature that would improve the experience as a whole. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global:

Through the use and implementation of this platform we can obtain an effective management of the human resources office, developing a more organized management of tasks outlined by the recommendations that sequoia provides us. In addition to this, it has a version for mobile devices, with which you can obtain much more additional participation data, offering a better experience on the go for company managers and employees in general. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global solving and how is that benefiting you?

We evaluated the administration programs, as well as the health benefits campaigns, improving the management of the entire benefits system that we have, that is, life insurance, health and all family welfare programs and more. For its part, to have complete certainty that everything is being carried out in accordance with the strategies we obtain with Sequoia, we monitor the costs of the program or campaigns, thus viewing detailed information related to employee use through extensive analysis.

It is a one stop shop for everything related to insurance for my company. It is easy to use and runs quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global?

I constantly have log in issues with the app. It acts as if I am a new user and will often ask me to create an account rather than log in. Once I am able to get into the app, it is great, however, getting there can be a hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global:

The issues with log in may just be my personal experience and not necessarily the experience of the majority. However, if this is the majority, I would recommend finding another service to create a health benefits hub for your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sequoia Comp, Benefits, and Global solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to view insurance cards, policies, etc. with the app so there are not problems with losing a hard copy of something and not being able to find it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
