BambooHR is great for small or medium companies that are using a paper-based system to increase efficiencies. I am the only dedicated HR employee and is great to keep track of all processes. Less appropriate is for small companies that do not have a champion to lead the software or maybe bigger companies with specific requirements and HR processes.

for basic info is perfect
for more complex things as for example when a manager needs to be interim it has more to improve as the reports multiplies and it is quite difficult for the management of the daily tasks as holidays and so on.
for holidays for example is someone needs to modify it is also difficult

I think if you are a small/mid-size company looking for an easy to navigate HRIS system, BambooHR is a great start. It's mostly intuitive for Admins, managers and employees, as a first time HRIS admin, I have had a good experience learning on this platform. If someone is looking for something that is ultra-customizable, I think they are likely better going with a different system. While BambooHR has a ton of basics, it is lacking a fully robust or customizable experience. I still think it's great, but it has limitations.

BambooHR has many strengths however there are still areas for improvement within the system. It would be helpful if there was more of a compliance aspect to the system e.g. local anti-harassment trainings that can be pushed through the system, workflow approval processes in the system, and local state forms that the system has e.g. withholding forms.

This is the first platform I am using as a HR Generalist and it has been very accommodating and user friendly. As a first time HR representative I was nervous in learning the ins and out and everything on BambooHR has a video or work instructions that I can reference which has been extremely helpful.

I love the ease of submitting PTO, especially with the Slack integration. Also, I can view teams' PTO on the calendar, which is easy to view. I have also run department-specific reports to share with teams, and they generate very quickly, are easy to understand, and are saved for later review.

It is very good for what we intentionally got the program for, but with diving deeper into what the program could do for us and doesn't have the ability to do, yet, I'm unable to state 10. It would be great for templates to be added with a generic offer letter with an eSignature that can update the employee record more than adding the document into the signed document folder. Love the time off and that with time tracking, if someone messes up, and they do, I'm able to go behind and make the necessary adjustments.

BambooHR is very well-suited for a company who has seasoned veterans in their HR department who have seen many different scenarios and know the information they will need to complete the tasks/job assigned to them. This would be less appropriate for a smaller company that has many manuals processes and approvals that is not used to having to create their own reporting and files from the data.

We really use BambooHR for almost all aspects of our business for HR. The only areas I can really see that they can improve in would be having the ability to do the benefits changes and open enrollment in the BambooHR app. This would be much easier for the employees as they sign up.

I love the workflows for documents and signatures. We use this quite often, such as for benefits requests, payroll deductions, etc. I also think it has a beautiful workflow for onboarding and offboarding steps and allows these to be customized by a group of employees. Report capabilities are also excellent.

BambooHR has been the most user-friendly and customizable HRIS and ATS that I've used. I can say it is my first time enjoying being the administrator of these systems.

It does the job we were looking for it to do and is continually improving too. It is integrated with the systems we use - Okta, Lattice, Paylocity and more which makes everything more streamline and efficient. The platform looks good too - informing employees on work anniversaries and birthdays.
