Pros

“The interface is intuitive, well-organized, and makes HR processes much simpler on a daily basis, especially tasks like employee management, time-off tracking, and onboarding.”
TR

Tamires R.

Payroll analyst

“It helped streamline administrative processes and provided a good experience for both employees and administrators. While there is room for improvement in advanced customization and reporting, I found BambooHR to be a reliable and user-friendly HR solution that meets the needs of most small to medium-sized organizations.”

Shruti D.

Regulatory Manager

“It simplifies daily administrative tasks like checking vacation balances and submitting feedback. While the user experience is generally positive, resolving the stability of the org chart and adding an "auto-save" or longer session duration for feedback forms would make it much better.”
SG

Santiago G.

Product Manager

Pros

“In the policies, we can't search keywords in a document, this would be useful to have access to. When we upload personal documents, we always add a description in the notes but this doesn't pull through onto the main screen so if the file name isn't something that relates to the document eg File1234, we are having to resave files to see what they are on the main screen.”
EB

Eden B.

Insights and Reward Partner

“For the HR teams it has been a gamechanger in having access to data when needed, and the ease of creating and running reports has helped us immensely.”
NM

Natalie M.

HR Manager

“The platform continues to develop in a way that feels aligned with real business needs, particularly with the launch of Ciphr Analytics and the clear roadmap towards making the system even more business-focused and insight-driven.”
JP

Jo P.

HR Manager

Cons

“Administrative control is also hampered by overly restrictive user permissions that prevent granular access for managers, while the Applicant Tracking System lacks the automated communication workflows necessary for high-volume recruitment. While the interface is user-friendly for basic HR tasks, these limitations create bottlenecks for growing teams with sophisticated operational requirements.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Marquita V.

SALES MANAGER

“Also, for new hire paperwork, it is difficult to parse the forms and then there are glitches when new hires fill out the forms (also it doesn't work right on the app, so they are forced to use a computer to fill out the forms)”
LF

Laura F.

HR Associate

“The inability to view time off requests on the same page as the time card made it very difficult to get a good overview of time needs without constantly changing screens.”
LH

LuAnne H.

Billing Specialist

Cons

“There is no simple way to process variable hours payments, and the timesheet module is not fit for purpose.”
un

ulrike n.

Head of HR

“The system handles multiple roles and variable hours poorly.”
un

ulrike n.

Head of HR

“Some of the iRecruit features cause a fair amount of errors on our side.”
