    Perfect for allowing employees to track their paid time off and sick days. Useful for providing job summaries, explanation of benefits. We don't use it for tracking compensation, but it could be used for that purpose. We also post job announcements on the platform which is useful for me to see what kinds of jobs we are hiring for.

    Pros
    BambooHR
    • Recruiting- communications are easy for both the internal team and candidates
    • Onboarding- the onboarding tasks are great. I love being able to attach documents as well as delay sending out tasks
    • Communication- the employee community is a great tool to keep our communications clean and organized. I love that we now have insight as to who has viewed the comms

    Cons
    BambooHR
    • BambooHR® has moved their offerings to a tiered package approach that groups features together at different tier and price levels. To gain access to a specific feature, you may need to upgrade to a whole new tier that includes additional features you may not be interested in. I would prefer being able to add-on one specific feature when needed.

    • Reporting can be more robust.
    • More user control and real-time communication via the app would be helpful.
    • A better online calendar layout could be more efficient, but the current one is sufficient as well.

    BambooHR's initial implementation team was amazing. We loved having a dedicated person we could call, email or speak to during the entire process. I feel that's so important when you are new to a software. Our process was time consuming, but well worth the final product.

    Alternatives Considered
    BambooHR
    BambooHR® was able to provide excellent value for money when compared to the other options we looked at when we carried out a review of them. A previous member of the team had also used BambooHR® at another company and rated them highly which influenced our decision greatly. The demo also showed BambooHR® was able to carry out all of the tasks we were looking for

    • It makes tracking PTO super easy
    • We replaced a very expensive and clunky custom SharePoint intranet with an extremely cost-effect Built For Teams service.
    • It is super easy to maintain, leaving me free to tackle bigger issues in the organization
