Pros
Our company did not have an HR platform so starting with Bamboo was a no-brainer. The sales team and implementation team are fantastic, their self guided materials and videos are 2nd to none!
Cons
I wish there was an integration between Bamboo and QuickBooks. Hopefully that will happen eventually and make our payroll lives even easier!

Bamboo HR, a slick but severely limited recruiting software

As stated, the BHR system is a recruiters dream and makes the talent acquisition process easier for those businesses that are only using the job boards to get applicants. Just don't expect much more after that.
Pros
The look an feel of BambooHR (BHR) is amazing! Its almost like Facebook for recruiting. It is very intuitive for what it does and offers to the administrator and end user. The applicant tracking system is very easy to use and goes the extra mile with automation and thoughtfulness concerning on-boarding and then " flowing" into the core HRIS. The BHR system was chosen by a previous HR professional that clearly had a recruiting bias. Although important, more vetting should have been done to make a sound choice for long term success regarding the needs of a small to mid-size business.
Cons
Beyond what I described above there is limited functionality without also purchasing and integrating other systems through a "bolt-on" approach. By "Bolt-on" I mean that BHR will not automate between the core HR system of BHR and a timekeeping system, a payroll system, benefits administration system, leave administration system. The ability to have a robust system is possible but is not practical or cost effective with BambooHR. In order to get a full platform, covering the full life cycle of and employee, through BHR, a business would have to pay upwards of 30-40 dollars per employee per month. Simply put other options are available and far more robust with better long term results for less money- See my review of APS Payroll for an example.
Reasons for Switching to BambooHR
Price and lack of proper education as to the actual functionality and potential cost of the system beyond on-boarding.- Industry: Airlines/Aviation

In general, I have had a positive experience with BambooHR. Despite its shortcomings, I find that it greatly simplifies HR management for our organization, saving us time and reducing the risk of errors.

Transform Your HR Processes with BambooHR
Reviewed on 5/4/2023
Pros
I like most about BambooHR include its user-friendly interface, comprehensive HR management features, and customizable workflows. BambooHR also offers robust reporting and analytics capabilities, allowing HR teams to gain valuable insights into their organization's workforce and make data-driven decisions. Additionally, many users appreciate the excellent customer support provided by the BambooHR team and the platform's ability to integrate with other tools and platforms, such as applicant tracking systems and payroll software.
Cons
The issues that I have encountered with BambooHR include occasional glitches or technical issues with the software, limited customization options for certain features, and the lack of some functionalities that may be available in other HR management tools. Additionally, I also find that the pricing for BambooHR may be higher than other HR software solutions, especially for smaller organizations or those with limited budgets. Nevertheless, the benefits of using BambooHR outweigh any potential drawbacks, and the software remains a popular choice for HR professionals looking to streamline their workflows and improve their overall HR management processes.

Our company uses BambooHR to track employees' time off for vacation, illness, and other reasons. All of our HR records may be conveniently filed away there, too, for instantaneous access by every staff member. The ATS has been a huge help in streamlining our hiring procedures.
Pros
BambooHR excels in making its features accessible to a wide range of users. Like how every month brings new features that make my work easier.
Cons
There isn't a single feature of this program that I don't enjoy. A new feature that could be helpful is the ability to specify which days of the week a person is "off," so that they do not appear in the calendar at all on those days they are not scheduled to work.
