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

“My favourite part is being able to reliably track everyone's time off and the ability to calculate what is owing once an employee departs.”
SG

Sean G.

President

“Bulk Time-Off and Holiday Pay Handling: You can add holiday pay or time off in bulk for multiple employees, saving admin time.”
DC

Danielle C.

HR Manager

“All of my leave requests, timesheets and even employee hire and resignation dates all in one place - easy access and dependability at its best.”
JS

Jennifer S.

Program Director

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

“Every single time I want to add a candidate, I have to manually type or copy-paste all their details and resume info into the system. When you're doing high-volume hiring, this wastes hours of my week.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Denis M.

Recruiter

Cons

“The one drawback (which is why I have my review at a 4 stars) is that there is no app yet for a phone, employees still need to a use a web browser to access.”
AS

Ashley S.

Business Manager

“Some processes need streamlining, system glitches cause headaches, and I wish we could customize more.”
ES

Erin S.

HR Manager

“Initially setting up our time off balances was a little confusing, but customer care was always just a phone call or email away.”
KS
