Overall Satisfaction with BambooHR

Right now, BambooHR is used in a variety of different ways. Our HR team uses it for onboarding new employees, in which every new hire creates a profile and the rest of the organization receives a notification about the employee. For the rest of the company, this is our centralized platform where we request time off, pull information about our role, how long we've been at the company, our salary, and electronic signatures we've completed in the past.
  • User-friendly Platform
  • Robust tracking
  • Rich database and records
  • Email notifications are strictly in Bamboo branding
  • Not a great resource for managing training
  • Cannot customize fields
  • Shortened employee onboarding time
  • Consistent information delivery on crucial company policies
  • Reduced time spent manually tracking employee vacation/time off
Well suited: A scenario in which Bamboo is well suited is when a growing company recently implements a time-off/vacation policy. In the past, at my company, we were manually tracking this activity through spreadsheets and most of the data would either get muddied or lost. Bamboo allows smaller HR teams to focus on more important items like recruiting rather than worrying about tedious tasks like tracking vacation.

Less suited: An enterprise organization with over 1000 employees may require more robust features, but Bamboo focuses on smaller companies and isn't targeted towards these larger companies anyway.
