BambooHR® Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I manage a team of about 20 via the BambooHR® system. I review and approve time cards biweekly including approving time off requests. I help team members use the Goals area for setting personal improvement goals as well as team goals. I also am in charge of hiring for our branch office, so I am familiar with the Hiring/Jobs section of the software.

We didn't have HR software a couple of years ago...but after a merger I was introduced to this program. Although I'm not a high up admin...I am a manager and it definitely saves me time...not needing to keep track of things in an excel file and email to an outside payroll company every 2 weeks is very nice. I believe it also saves me time with Hiring...not having to manually go and post a job add on every site I want it to be on...the automated features are very much appreciated.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use BambooHR® for HR software, benefits, time off

Likelihood to Recommend

Really good for employees to use themselves. Recruiters have an easy time looking through applications and automating workflows which is great. TIme off easy to request and approve.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use BambooHR for paychecks, for benefits tracking, for PTO and sick time management, for performance reviews, and at various times during the feedback cycle. We also use it for organizational management and for training purposes to document what employees have completed training, and for storing all of their training documents.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is a one stop shop for all of the needs for anything related to HR or people management. It can handle your payroll, your performance reviews, PTO and sick time tracking, organizational documentation, 1:1 notes and agendas and everything you would need for the HR portion of running your organization.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am a front line contributor who uses BambooHR as an employee. I utilize BambooHR to stay in touch with company initiatives, view new employees, book my time off, and communicate with our HR team.

Likelihood to Recommend

BambooHR well suited: booking vacation and personal days; staff announcements; benefits details

BambooHR - Less Appropriate: listing my work targets and progress on a timely basis.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it for training, performance reviews. I also like that it helps me keep all of my info up to date. I can find all the info and certificates that I have completed. BambooHR® also let's me know when I having training to complete and it is easy to access.

Likelihood to Recommend

It took over 4 months for me to even get into BambooHR® when it came out. Extremely frustrating. BambooHR® has all My info and it is very easy to update my info. I also like that it reminds me of things that need to be completed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used to support our personnel files, payroll, health insurance and 401K. We recently moved the company 401K to Fidelity and BambooHR® assisted us with setting up a 180 file feed to support payroll and employee contributions. We also recently set up HSA accounts through the portal as this is a new offering to employees and is also set up with the payroll deductions.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is a good platform for companies that would like to house all their employee information in one place. Although, for a large company ie 50+ employees, I think this might be difficult without a PEO which I have yet to see with BambooHR®.

It does allow you to set up your health insurance, 401K and PTO in a user-friendly system that shares well with payroll.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

BambooHR helps with time off management, HR management, performance reviews, and 1:1's. The main problem it solves for us is having documentation all in one place for these items.

Likelihood to Recommend

I found BambooHR as a good tool for use with my team in conducting our regular 1:1's. The history of those is easily viewable.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use BambooHR as our main HRIS tool company wide. We have multiple subsidiaries and are in different countries worldwide. It helps us stay organized and understand the company structure through the org chart. It integrates well with many systems that help us automate tasks that deal with employees and their specific departments.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for SMB companies or companies that are growing rapidly. It has been great for us and we love using it. We utilize BambooHR as our enterprise-wide Human Resource Information System (HRIS) to support our multi-subsidiary operations across multiple international locations. The platform enables us to maintain organizational clarity through comprehensive org chart functionality, providing visibility into our global company structure. BambooHR's robust integration capabilities allow us to seamlessly connect with various business systems, automating employee-related workflows and department-specific processes. This integrated approach enhances operational efficiency and ensures consistent HR data management across our organization.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use BambooHR® for HR management and performance reviews. It is our primary employee repository tracking employee data, PTO tracking, compensation and payment information, performance assessments including employee feedback. BambooHR® is also a repository for important files that employees need to access regularly and of course, a great reference for other valuable data like org structure, birthdays, employee tenure and other key data for managers.

Likelihood to Recommend

It works very well for submitting PTO requests and identifying information around personnel matters. I love being able to quickly see how long someone has worked for the company or whether there are upcoming birthdays so I can send a personal note. There are analytics and charts around organizational segmentation that are less valuable for a smaller company like ours.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for HR and payroll. Would love to for more features on the hiring and benefit side but overall good for a small company like ours.

Likelihood to Recommend

They have great customer service and the product is easy to use.
