"Simple to Use!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I like how the buttons are clear and concise. The graphic designs are also descriptive. There aren't too many things to click on, which makes the whole experiene more smooth and less cluttered.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

When trying to request Time Off, Time Off benefits are not shown on the same page. It is a hassle to find our company benefits in another place such as an internal knowledge base.

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

It gives companies an easy way to manage employees who track their hours or request time off. It allows managers to have a system where it is easy to approve requests.

"All in One HR Tool"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

The User Interface is amazing which makes it easier for everyone to use it. It helps us to track all our leaves as well as Pay Information. The Year-end goal setting is quite easy in this tool and also it gives notifications for any birthdays or anniversaries of team members.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The Integration with other platforms is not very flexible. The reports generated through it need some improvement. The mobile version is not up to the mark as per the market standards.

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

Bamboo HR is a seamless system that provides all employee-related information in one place. There is no need for employees to chase HR for any of the HR-related documents as everything is present in the portal.

"We love Bamboo"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

It's intuitive, easy to use, and our one stop shop for everything HR. We have onboarded hundreds of employees with Bamboo through the integration with Greenhouse.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The user interface is pretty basic but I actually think that's necessary for a product like this so that employees don't get overwhelmed.

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

The integration with Greenhouse is super useful so when someone accepts an offer we can easily add them to Bamboo and get them set up for their first day, it saves us lots of manual data input.

"Great platform to gather all your personal data in your company"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I like I'm able to manage my vacation time or any needed time-off from the site and that I'm also able to calculate the accrued time in the future using the calendar.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I don't like you are lacking some of the features on the mobile application. For example, you are not able to see the organigram of the company from it. Other than that, the app is also great.

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

I can manage my goals ans the goals of my reports from the platform. Also, I hace the ability of asking teammates for assessment for your reports. It's a safe way to get i dividual assessment from your peers.

"Simple & Efficient"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

It is quite easy to use and navigate BambooHR. When training employees, or fellow admins, they tend to grasp it easily.

Since it is a new'er' platform, there are sometimes things within it that are not yet developed. Being a part of the development process is great though!

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

File storage. Organization. Data tracking. Standardized ways of onboarding. Applicant tracking. You name it!

"Success!"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

Bamboo HR has been an excellent platform to add to our company. Our employees span a tremendous amount of disciplines from manufacturing, engineering, sales, supply chain, finance, welding, painting, etc... Many HRIS systems I looked at would have been great for one or a couple of those disciplines but Bamboo HR has allowed my team to implement this across all departments and utilize the Performance Review, Payroll, Hiring Portal, Medical Records, eNPS and other benefits so all departments are in sync. I would highly recommend Bamboo HR. Are they perfect, no, but they have great customer support and work on customizing the platform to fit your unique needs. Even if they hadn't given me a gift certificate to write a review, I would have still given Bamboo HR the thumbs up!

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The inability to have varying performance review check-ins. As an example, I want my leaders to have 30 day, 90 day formal sit downs with new employees to make sure everyone is on the same page. I would like this to feed into the Performance Management module, but unfortunately I can only set the Performance Management module up for all parties on a 6 or 12 month interval. Now I have to look for a separate system to provide my team with the proper structure. Also a texting app connection would be great for the Hiring portal. There is clearly an email client and the ability to call. But with so many candidates now communicating via text, I would like a way for my team to quickly and easily capture texts that aren't sent on someone's personal or even business cell phone.

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

See above. We were solely paper based before, so moving to an electronic version was monumental in allowing my HR team access to information at a moment's notice. Also the PTO time off requests are extremely simple and easy to manage.

Variety functionality and customization.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I can't think of anything; if I don't like something, I contact customer service for a workaround or assistance.

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

Ease of HR function. Less time with paper files. Hiring is much easier; tracking of applicants, open positions, etc.

"Perfectly Integrated HRIS"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

BambooHR has been a one-stop shop for all of our HRIS needs. We are able to track the employee's lifecycle from beginning to end. The best part is how many integrations BambooHR has. We're able to integrate our other platforms through BambooHR which not only same time but also money.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I wish there was more functionality and ease of customization. It can be a pain to ping support every time we want a custom field added. I would like to see BambooHR update their platform within the next year and make a lot of things simpler to use.

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

Being able to track training, track an employee's lifecycle, track offer letters, and onboarding tasks.

"Best platform for Accessing Employee information and tracking daily activities of your coworkers."
What do you like best about BambooHR?

Bamboo helps me to stay updated on whats happening within the organisation so that i dont miss out on any fun activity or essentail information. It is intergrated to various apps that we use within our organisation such as emails, internal communcation apps, salesforce, IT helpdesk. Thus, it comes in handy incase you are logging in remotely. It helps you to give third party application their own access key and you can share the same with your coworkers. The interface is very easy to navigate and understand if you are a new user.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

There is no option for customization of the app. you can not select your preferred color or layout, which I feel is a drawback. The tech support is not quite good, If you have any queries, you won't find a quick response from the customer care team.

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

It gives me access to the employee directory, provides a lot of information, such as employee ID, Team details, report manager information, contact details which comes very handy especially when you need to coordinate with multiple colleagues for projects. All the essentail documents such training, onboarding files, performance appriasal files can you access quickly via bamboo app.

"Great all-in-one solution for HR"
What do you like best about BambooHR?

As a sales employee at a SaaS company, I need software that efficiently manages my HR documents and Time & Attendance, so I can focus on more important things, like my quota. BambooHR does this. BambooHR offers a centralized, easy way to manage all of this, making my life easier!!

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Payroll is typically a separate software that isn't within the BambooHR platform. You have to use two systems for that, which could be a deal-breaker for some companies who want everything in one place.

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

I'm trying to manage my benefits, HR documents, compliance, and PTO within BambooHR. It's relatively easy to do this and allows me to reference things related to my employment easily.
