Reviews From Top Reviewers
Robust Reporting and User-Friendly Features
- Reports
- Administration
- Workflows
- Approvals
Cons
- Customization
- Complex calculable fields.
- Blocking conditions for submitting requests.
BAMBOOHR one user-friendly tool for HR management.
- BambooHR supports our Paid Time Off strategy
- BambooHR supports our pay rate records per employee
- Bamboo HR allows us to track Bday and anniversaries
Cons
- I think the mobile version can be better
- I think there are many other features to explore in HR that can make BambooHR a 360 platform
- I think they can promote more the features available, unused or new.
Work with Bambooligans!
- Offer Letters - easily "fill in the blanks" to extend a formal offer of employment to applicants that can be signed electronically.
- Job Postings - allows for very pain-free management of posting new jobs and managing existing postings, including putting positions on hold and closing once filled.
- E-Document Management - easily attach new hire documents to be filled electronically with the offer letters, such as I9s, W2s, etc.
Cons
- Would like to see the applicant tracking workflow be a little easier to manage, similar to how Workable let's you move and track your pipeline more effectively.
- Troubleshooting some use of the settings was difficult on occasion, but I think this is mostly a result of the vast amount of features available.
- Would love to see additional features such as issuing warnings to employees, and even a timeclock feature to make it a more complete HRIS.
Simple, clean, employee-friendly HR software
- Helpful homepage that includes lots of useful information at a glance. I especially like the "Who's Out" section which shows photos of all the employees not in the office. Because we are a global company with lots of offices in different time zones, it's essential to know who's on vacation for communication purposes.
- The interface is very user friendly. The functionality felt intuitive the first time I used it: I instantly knew how to request time off, look up other employees, etc.
- The employee directory is very useful. It displays everyone's title, photo, LinkedIn, contact info, etc. It's easy to search by name, title, department, etc. and to create custom filters.
Cons
- I receive lots of BambooHR email notifications announcing new hires. I'd like to reduce the volume of these, or have them combined into a single email (our new employees always start in batches at the start of every month). However, I can't see a way to opt out or disable these notifications as a user.
- When I initially onboarded and filled out my employee information, the phone number field was uneditable. Not sure if this was a glitch, but I ended up having to contact my company's HR and have them manually add my number for me on their end.
- I almost never use the "Files" section of BambooHR -- the documents don't seem to be grouped or organized in an easy-to-follow way. Our company uses a different platform to host our wikis, department info, etc.
Happy User
I highly recommend BambooHR as HRMS.
- Documents maintenance
- Easy time off requests

- Offer Generation
Cons
- Sometimes not able to fetch data
