It's a convenient way to keep track of vacation and sick time, as well as communicate with coworkers about upcoming absences. It's an improvement over our old leave-tracking system that's far more convenient.
Pros
BambooHR has made it simple for our global team to communicate and coordinate on business holidays and paid time off, as well as keep tabs on their respective leave balances. The ability to view the work anniversaries of all employees is a fantastic perk.
Cons
This makes it difficult for us to celebrate the holidays with our international colleagues. They also had a web UI that wasn't particularly user-friendly, although it has gotten much better over time.

Unethical pricing practices, poor customer service/poor treatment of loyal longstanding...
Reviewed on 7/7/2024
Pros
They made the administrative side of HR so much easier for us. Easy tracking, automatic reminders, clearly display everything to staff, conduct performance reviews, onboarding and offboarding simplified. All great. Really helped our business get to the next level with staffing. We were so deeply upset when their business practices forced us to find a different product.
Cons
After almost 4 years as a loyal customer, they restructured their subscription packages moving us from top tier to mid tier and moving some of the add-on features we were paying extra for into the top tier. At that point they told us that unless we upgraded with a 75% price increase we would no longer receive upgrades to those features. The point of subscription software is that we are paying for the continual development and upgrades. It is totally not ok to force existing customers to pay monthly for legacy software.
I tried to negotiate with them and ask for some kind of compromise, like grandfathering us into top tier only for those features or perhaps a discount on top tier for a period of time. They absolutely refused to work with me, straight up refused to let me talk to a manager, insisted that I had to take the full price increase to retain updates for the features I'd already been using for years. When I told them that was a terrible way to treat a loyal customer and that I would take my business elsewhere they were fine with it. Perhaps because we are a small business, they don't see it worth their time to keep us as a customer.
I would warn everyone away from BambooHR as you can't trust the prices they tell you you'll pay. Unreliable, predatory, and awful way to treat loyal customers. From a company that preaches about treating people well from an HR perspective, they sure don't understand how to treat customers.
