BambooHR is a broad-spectrum HR… BambooHR is a broad-spectrum HR solution: reasonably good at everything but not the greatest for most things. However, it is much better to have an integrated suite than to have multiple very specialized platforms, both from a cost and a usability perspective. All in all, we love the product! Their support is top-notch, as is their product management. Most of the new features are things that make us happy ;)

So easy to implement So easy to implement! I'm not an HR professional but I know we are way more organized and efficient at onboarding. A must for any company over 20 employees.

Easy & Pretty, but the Worse Bamboo is easy to use and looks pretty, but their customer support is the absolute worse. When I ask a question, they ask me to read an article or it just gets bounced around from person to person and does not actually get resolved. Or they attempt to resolve it but ask you first to answer 15+ questions. We are using the advantage package, which you would think covers everything since it costs $450 USD per month. But you have to pay extra for performance management. There is no option to bulk download all your employee data you would have to do it person by person. So once you enter the data in their system good luck getting it out. If I knew all this before I joined I would have gone with another HRIS system.

I'd recommend the software, but not the company. The software itself is good, can do most things and is pretty intuitive. However, 2 main issues: 1. We're based in the UK, were told that they can update everything to make it relevant for the UK and this isn't the case. This means things like gender/ ethnicity reporting etc. is useless as they will only accept US government definitions rather than those used in the UK (e.g. 'African American', 'Hispanic' etc.) along with various other bits and bobs which are irritating. 2. The sales team are great and give the impression that this is how all contact with the company will be. We were sold the induction package which was a waste of money, then any requests for support are pretty poorly handled. We've looked at competing products and decided not worth leaving, but it is irritating that we were oversold on what they can actually deliver.

Overall Experience Overall, BambooHR has been very helpful for a HRIS tool. However, there is still some manual processes with onboarding, transfers, and off-boarding. It seems that the offboarding tasks do not get triggered within the workflow like the onboarding ones. I also wish there was more integration with other platforms for background checks and benefits administration.
