## BambooHR Reviews
  ### 1. Good platform when it works, but unreliable user experience.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

It's great that all of my welcome information and onboarding is already in the product ready for me to access before I start my first week

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

The experience is unreliable and frustrating.  I've had to fill out my information multiple times on a single form sheet, because when I hit "Save and Continue" it freezes and nothing happens until it times out.

Once it times out, its somehow a worse user experience. It says "just to be safe, we logged you out, enter your password to pick up where you left off". But when you enter your password, you get an error saying you need to enter your password AND your username, however, there is no field for username, so the log back in experience is entirely broken.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Ideally, its making onboarding new employees easier. However, in practice that's not happening since the product keeps breaking.

  ### 2. Easy Leave Requests and Clear Approvals with a Handy Org Chart

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 05, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

I can easily view my annual leave history, raise an annual leave request, and quickly understand whether it has been approved or not.

The organisation chart and my own employee information are also really useful. I regularly use the org chart to show other coworkers exactly who I mean when I’m referencing someone else.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

I dislike how balance is calculated. It is confusing to understand how much I am entitled to. It would be best to default show how many days I have left to use - as if ones already pending approval or approved are considered used up. At least have the option for it to be seen as such.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Organisational structure and visibility, holiday approvals and ease of access, company HR documents.

  ### 3. Slow, Laggy Search in BHR—Often Blank Results

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

I am not sure, I like that you can add a lot of information - I like the info and I guess you can add fields but I do not think we have the full capacity of use

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

When searching for names it takes for ever, it seems like the more info we are adding into BHR the more it becomes slower. The search either comes up blank or lags and then it populates someone name. Or it stays like they can not find such search

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I guess holding info for us, but it is not really a self service platform. I am not sure I am not the right person to ask since I may not know all the functions you have to offer.

  ### 4. Intuitive and Fast, but the AI Could Be Better

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Taoufiq B. | Sales, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 05, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

The design is very intuitive. These integrations are good. The performance is always fluent. The return on investment is cool and good. Support is always helpful. Also the artificial intellegence could be better.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

nothing its just a programm for work so I dont dislike it

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No problems so far; otherwise, I would have switched to another software.

  ### 5. Privacy Concerns Overshadow BambooHR Features

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Caleb P.

**Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

I think it's cool that I can say what my gender identity is in BambooHR, and it goes beyond just the basics, allowing for options like cis, trans, or gender not confirming. It's nice that they're up to date with these features.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

I think it's weird that BambooHR has a social media aspect to it, and it can share all my socials. It feels strange to put my personal information on there. I really don't like having to share my location when I clock in and out. It feels really inappropriate and like an invasion of privacy. I'm also not a fan because it feels like more control for my employer, like I can't clock in early if I arrive early.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Honestly, I don't think it solves any problems for me. It solves problems for my employer.

  ### 6. All-in-One Employment Data, but Slow and Hard to Edit Assessments

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

The fact that you can find all of your employment data in one place

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

How slow it is, and also how difficult it is to write your personal assessments, especially when you try to make edits

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Better question for my employer, for me it's just a convenient overview, and a way to track holidays

  ### 7. A service I barely use as an end-user.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Maritime | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

I barely use it. Every time I do it works.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Navigation is painful at times. It might be underutilisation by my organisation but my performance review was under documents rather than performance, the reason I visited the site today.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm the end user, this doesn't apply.

  ### 8. Needs Improvements in Key Functions

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Request the vacations, because you can do that and see the vacations that my team members are going to take.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

The way vacations are managed could be improved to understand when my team members are going to take vacations, it looks really bad. Also, the remuneration part, I think it should be better integrated.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use BambooHR to review salaries and check vacations, just for that.

  ### 9. Easy Time Off Management, But Needs Improved Intuitiveness

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dan . | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

I like that BambooHR allows me to request time off at any time. It's easy to request time off, and it's a good place to keep track of time off and company notifications. The initial setup was easy for me.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

I find it not intuitive with some functions. Where the files are kept and how they are organized can be confusing.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

BambooHR allows me to request time off anytime and keep track of time off and company notifications.

  ### 10. I was scammed into leaving this review. Don't trust these reviews.

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 19, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Bamboo is fine but they scammed me to force this review. Shady business practice.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

No lying to their customers would be a good start. also, adding time is not very user freindly.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use BambooHR for recording hours, managing time off, and organizing employee information. It keeps everything simple and centralizes all information about my position and our business, including coworker details.

  ### 11. Not useful platform I do not like it

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alejandro P. | Sales, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Bad experience, I don't like how it works and how they lie

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

I would improve the privacy of someone going on vacation, for example.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

BambooHR solves all my HR issues. It's very accessible and perfectly understandable.

  ### 12. Intuitive HR Management, Lacks Payroll Integration

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nishan P.

**Reviewed Date:** January 05, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

I like BambooHR for the additional features it offers, like the company-wide discussion board. It's helpful to see who's on vacation in our company, which makes requesting time off easy.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Asked me to leave a review for $20 gift card, then later emailed me saying I was ineligible as I wasn't the "first review". Also does not handle Payroll. 

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use BambooHR to centralize all HR tasks. It simplifies seeing who's on vacation and makes requesting time off easy.

  ### 13. Not innovative.

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Burcu C.

**Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Keeping things together which can be delivered with any other ISP.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

The inability to service the end user by giving endless excuses to develop new reports within the system. 
To be precise, Leave management system, and how we can not get the data we need from the system. Anytime I speak to an agent, I only encounter the unwillingness to help. This must be correlated with the quality of either management team or the development team.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Again keeping things together.

  ### 14. Accurate Hour Tracking, But Low Recommendation Potential

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** bozo k.

**Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

I like that BambooHR lets me see my hours down to the minute, which helps me understand how much I'm getting paid. I find it not hard to use as well.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

there's nothing I really dislike

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use BambooHR to keep track of my hours and see my paycheck stubs. It lets me see my hours down to the minute, which helps me understand how much I'm getting paid.

  ### 15. Note-Taking Needs Basic Formatting Options

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Graphic Design | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

It's easy to book PTO for specific dates

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Note-taking lacks basic formatting options

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

High-level overview of my reports as a manager

  ### 16. Doesn't handle complex company needs

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mining & Metals | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Nice interface. Easy to navigate and looks good.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Doesn't handle the complexities of our payroll.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I dont' know of any problems that Bamboo HR is solving

  ### 17. Frustrating App Experience with Log-In Issues

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Katherine W. | Customer Service Representative, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

nothing

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

I find it hard to log in, especially on a cell phone, which is ridiculously hard. The app doesn't work well, and the password feature does not work and locks up.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use BambooHR to access documents to sign and check for new jobs within the company.

  ### 18. No calendar: difficult to visualize the requested leave

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Not bad as software but could be greatly improved

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

no calendar and hard to see my leave taken

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

the taking of leave quite practical

  ### 19. An Arduous and Unnecessarily Frustrating Experience

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Oil & Energy | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 13, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Nothing, it's garbage. There really isn't to much to separate from other HR software.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Mostly everything. It could be easier to find things on the site.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

it is not solving anything

  ### 20. BambooHR: Consistently Soaring Costs Overshadowing Convenient Features

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Josh A. | CEO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 21, 2025

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

The time off request emails are good - they show who on your team will be out and you can single click approve from the email itself. Otherwise none of the functionality is worth the price and the price uncertainty.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Biggest issue is how much they have increased prices and continue to do so. They know that switching HRMS is painful. Every year is either a large price increase or our plan being sunsetted with the only option being to switch to a more expensive plan (but no price increase as they repeatedly point out!). I regret having selected BambooHR, it is now overpriced for what we have and I have no reason to believe they won't continue to squeeze more money out of us.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It handles time off requests quite well. Otherwise everything else has better SaaS solutions for us so we don't use the BambooHR products.

**Official Response from Mike Jeffs:**

> Hi Josh, thank you for the review. We understand your frustration. This decision was not made haphazardly and there are several new features being added to the new Core and Pro plans.

  ### 22. Easy PTO Access, Needs Job Listing Improvements

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jose C.

**Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2026

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

I like the easy use of BambooHR for taking PTO and the easy access to PTO services.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

BambooHR could improve on providing better access to job offers within my company.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I find BambooHR easy for managing PTO.

  ### 23. Good software with a broken sales process

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 10, 2025

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Based on their website and attending a demo of the product, their software seems to be quite comprehensive and yet still has an easy to use and intuitive design.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Their sales process is broken and lacks integrity. I have tried several times to get pricing for their three tiers, but they insist on going through irrelevant questions before they will give that pricing out. Why can't companies have transparency and integrity in their pricing.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Looking for a complete HRIS to manage all aspects of HR, including ATS, employee onboarding, training, performance management, payroll, benefits, etc...

  ### 24. Deceptive and Fraudulent - NO REFUNDS

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kurosh D. | President, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2024

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

The software is intuitive and does light HR work quite well

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

The sales, support, and implementation teams are, at best, deceptive. At worst, they are fraudulent. I asked, repeatedly and explicitly, in writing, how the integration with ADP works. They would never respond via email. They brought in multiple people to tell me how well the integration works. Once implementation started, it became clear that it doesn't work. The blame was placed on me for not providing the fields that ADP needs. I was told to ask ADP what fields BambooHR needs to import to process payroll. They said they would build out custom fields for direct deposit information and tax information. I cannot believe this is a functional company.

UPDATE- BambooHR's Resolution Lead, Amanda Persaud Ford, refuses to refund us despite never going live. Read other 1 star reviews to see the same experience repeated.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

BambooHR is helping my heart rate increase by enraging me and sending me to an early grave.

  ### 25. DO NOT RECOMMEND - Very Rigid.  Will never do any product enhancement requests.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ryan B. | Mortgage Loan Originator - Branch Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2024

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

For what the system is capable of doing, it is easy to navigate.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Support will ignore your or push you off on almost all problems or questions you have.
They will NEVER do a product enhangement request you give.  They won't even let you know it will never be done, 
they just ask you to throw your requests into the abyss.
They will make updates that negatively impact you and will never offer a solution. 

Basically, BambooHR has usable program that does not care about your business.  They only want to appeal to the majority of their clients, anyone wanting something different is completing ignored.  

I wish I never started using their program.   It is very time consuming to leave an HR system otherwise we would already be gone.  I know it will never be a system you can grow with as they do not care what you use the system for or any of your ideas to make it better.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

BambooHR has created countless problems for me to come up with workarounds for.   If it was easy to leave we would have already left.

  ### 26. Awful Platform With No Customization

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2024

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

The bambooHR interface is simple to use.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

The sales rep lied to us about what the platform was capable of, they said bamboo would integrate with our payroll system which is not true.

This platform is terrible for companies with more than 20 employees, a lot of changes in the system need to be done manually because there is no easy way to make mass changes to employees without duplicating information.

The customer service is usually very unhelpful whenever I ask if there could be simple customizations. There is literally no customization on this platform, they make their customers change their processes to fit into bamboo's ridiculous model.

All the features offered are basic and surface-level; if you want to do anything that seems logical and intuitive, it probably doesn't exist.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's better than having no system at all, that's it.

  ### 27. Terrible customer service, predatory subscription model, poor treatment of loyal customers

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alison W. | owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 07, 2024

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

The software itself is great. Lots of helpful features. Easy to use. Customizable. Love the amount of things I could "set and forget" as they say.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

After almost 4 years as a loyal customer, they restructured their subscription packages moving us from top tier to mid tier and moving some of the add-on features we were paying extra for into the top tier. At that point they told us that unless we upgraded with a 75% price increase we would no longer receive upgrades to those features. The point of subscription software is that we are paying for the continual development and upgrades. It is totally not ok to force existing customers to pay monthly for legacy software. 
I tried to negotiate with them and ask for some kind of compromise, like grandfathering us into top tier only for those features or perhaps a discount on top tier for a period of time. They absolutely refused to work with me, straight up refused to let me talk to a manager, insisted that I had to take the full price increase to retain updates for the features I'd already been using for years. When I told them that was a terrible way to treat a loyal customer and that I would take my business elsewhere they were fine with it. Perhaps because we are a small business, they don't see it worth their time to keep us as a customer.
I would warn everyone away from BambooHR as you can't trust the prices they tell you you'll pay. Unreliable, predatory, and awful way to treat loyal customers. From a company that preaches about treating people well from an HR perspective, they sure don't understand how to treat customers.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They made the administrative side of HR so much easier for us. Easy tracking, automatic reminders, clearly display everything to staff, conduct performance reviews, onboarding and offboarding simplified. All great. Really helped our business get to the next level with staffing. We were so deeply upset when their business practices forced us to find a different product.

  ### 28. BambooHR IS NOT FOR FULL RUNNING PAYROLL

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rose A. | Sr. Payroll Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2024

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

that I can see all employees for all 6 entities.
that i can have multiple tabs open. 
HR LOVES ALL HR Features. docmuent signing helps streamline the process.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

there are no payroll reports that are useful.I have no option to create my own report with the information I need.I don’t need turnover rate, I don’t need to see all terms , I don’t need a state/federal report. these are so unessesary!Each time I call for an Employee earnings report the only option is to go in TRAX payroll and print all paystubs. This is not acceptable for the agencies requesting employee files & payroll reports. I would then need to manually create an excel and enter all their history. Again, this too is super frustrating for me. BBHR doest really understand whats really needed for payroll processing. 

PTO approved after payroll has been "Open" is another inconvenience because if I approve those hours by the Notification I received it will WIPE OUT ALL PAYROLL ALREADY ENTERED!!! so again that feateure is useless and very frustrating to deal with with running payroll. 

 PTO hours are not correctly reflected on paystubs. 

Pay stubs are 3 PAGES LONG!!! This is also useless and we are using so much more paper than before, please compress your paystubs to 1 page. 

Support is a joke! each person just wants to get you off the phone and follow up in an email which never gets resloved on the first email so then your ping ponging back and forth trying to get your original issue resloved. we need to speak with someone and resolved the issue while on the phone to help the Rep. to BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS WE NEED.

theres plenty more things in BBHR we are not satisfied with but stuck with it for now.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

right now it is causing me problems. I lost more than half of regualr Payroll features when we swiched to BBHR.

for payroll nothing- it made it worse for me. 

For HR: the ease of traking all applications, signing docs in BBHR  has been very helpful in traking all docs and helps going paperless.

  ### 29. Payroll & Taxes Aren't What They Were Supposed to Be

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2024

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

BabmbooHR is a user friendly interface with fun quotes and statements. It works great for a lot of different HR needs.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

BabmooHR does not support a Guarateed Payment for a business owner who would typically receive a K1 instead of a W2 during tax season. We were told prior to implementation that a Guaranteed Payment was supported, but come to find out after wages were taxed sometimes and not all and after months of trying to get it all reversed, we decided to remove our OWNER of our business from BambooHR payroll. This reflected onto myself, as I was the one to make this decision. The payroll team always lead us to believe they understaood exactly what a Guaranteed Payment  was, but they did not...but they may know now. This platform still does not support this type of pay.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Nothing at the moment.

  ### 30. Over Promised

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 03, 2024

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Ease of use.  None of our staff have had issues accessing what they need to within Bamboo at any point.  They love the time tracking feature.  HR support seems very responsive.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Payroll & Time Tracking don't fully integrate.  We were told they did and that, after explaining the complexities associated with non-profit accounting and payroll, that we would be able to download a single report to import ot QBO.  This is not the case.  We have to compile 3 separate reports to get all the info we need.  When we requested a meeting with Payroll Support to discuss building a single report that would take some of the workload off my plate, we were told they "don't meet with people."  Not very supportive.  Payroll support has also be incredibly less responsive than HR Support.  We have been asking for a while if there could be an option to make Project Tracking mandatory for time-sheet entries as that would also reduce our work-load.  BambooHR also appears to have messed up something during our import process which has cost of significant extra time in correcting and issing appropriate documents.  I would further advise including things like Caps for Benefits items like IRAs.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I no longer have to manually create timesheets.

  ### 31. Basic HR for small business

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Belinda P. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2024

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Generally, you can touch various modules (recruiting, HR, onboarding, time and attendance) to a certain degree. Although these are basic, it's great for a small business (maybe 50 EEs). there is decent customer support. Even if they don't resolve an issue, they are available and responsive.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

The system is too basic - from recruiting to payroll to administration. I was surprised due to all of the webinars and conferences that BambooHR sponsors. I thought the system would be more robust. Some examples: 1) an EE cannot be split or have dotted line to another manager; 2) time off permissions are limited to managers; 3) an EE cannot have more than 1 positions they're clocking in under (as I was told when looking at the payroll module).

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Recruting and EE management

  ### 32. CUSTOMER SERVICE is now TERRIBLE!

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kurt K. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2024

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Functionality, ease of use, responsiveness of Support Heros (if you can get one!).

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

The Customer/Technical Service was fantastic until about February.  Since that, it is impossible to get immediate help with anything -- no Chat support, no Phone support, and if you submit a ticket, we can expect to wait days for a response.

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST SUPPORT.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has elminated a world of spreadsheets and disconnected systems for us.

  ### 33. Was a long-time fan of Bamboo, but now looking to move to a new HRIS/payroll

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2024

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

-User friendly interface
-Ability for employees to clearly see PTO

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

-Numerous payroll issues-- including the system calculating Social Security tax incorrectly.
-There's no way for managers to know when employees have a negative PTO balance when they are making a new request.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bamboo initially was a great HRIS / payroll system. However, over the last few years it's been disappointing to see the number of development issues we've experienced with the product.

  ### 34. Good until tax season; employee W2 errors STILL ongoing after nearly 2 months; lied about services

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stephanie W. | Executive Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2023

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Nothing is so great that it overrides the AWFUL payroll/W2 corrections support, which is all but nonexistent.  Cannot reach anyone directly by phone, and e-mails requesting assistance, updates, or identifying issues often get "lost."   BambooHR is a joke.  They also told us when they were pitching their services that we would have a dedicated account representative, which after we signed up and transferred all of our employees over to the platform, we found out was a lie.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Tax and W2 corrections support is terrible. They refuse to take any responsibility for the errors and are giving themselves a 60-day turnaround to fix. This violates IRS policy, which states once they are made aware of an issue, they have 30 days to fix.  It's now mid-March and employees still don't have correct W2s!  They also told us when they were pitching their services that we would have a dedicated account representative, which after we signed up and transferred all of our employees over to the platform, we found out was a lie.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Right now they're not solving our tax problem which is violating IRS policy and causing undue stress to our employees.

  ### 35. MAJOR ISSUES for companies over 50 employees

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2022

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Almost nothing. Bamboo doesn't allow much customization. I guess the employees could sign documents but only from a computer, not their phones. It sends them a welcome email but isn't super customizable.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Everything! Huge issues with storage once we grew so the system would just stop working without notice. Employees had to have access to a computer to fill out documents. It has to be one of the worst HRIS systems on the market and it's definitely not cheap. Shopping for a new system immediately and definitely not looking forward to the nightmare of manually having to download each document under the employee's profile. I don't think I've ever been this disappointed in a vendor.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's not benefiting me. I was told not to process my payroll while they resolved an issue. I couldn't believe it. No quick fix for anything and no warnings when things go wrong either.

  ### 36. Unethical Sales Practices and a Weak API

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Todd B. | CEO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 26, 2022

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Good recruitment module! Easy to use interface.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

During the sales cycle, we learned BambooHR has a very 'light' version of time tracking software, with no fraud prevention functionality. We were told we could use our current time tracking solution with an API. 
During onboarding, we learned that BambooHR DOES NOT HAVE a fully functioning API. 
What's worse? After wasting 2 months of time implementing Bamboo, we were told Bamboo would not refund our fees paid.  Don't listen to their sales people. 
We are disputing the charges with our credit card.  
What an unethical company.

**Recommendations to others considering BambooHR:**

Do not believe the sales folks who tell you that they have an API. The Bamboo API is not fully functioning.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are unable to fully implement the product. Therefore, no benefits realized.

  ### 37. Support alive or dead?

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mark C. | Strategy Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2022

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

The speed that they got us started at is probably the only feature that's best.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

The speed of the customer support being able to respond to a simple inquiry.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They help with payroll and employees.

  ### 38. Shouldn't be used outside of the US

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2021

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Works well for US PTO. 
Not hard to understand

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

- No option for adding international holiday *calendars* but US one is built-in.
- No option to set different working hours per site (8 hours are NOT the default for EVERYONE).
- Even if I edit my week starting on Sunday, bamboo still insists to call Sunday a "weekend" and make it disappear when clicking off the "weekends" on a timesheet.
 - Even when I make Sunday a weekday, if I manually add a holiday on Sunday, the system "warns"me that the holiday is collapsing with a "weekend".
And last but not least,
- Their CS openly writes - "we are a US-centric system", while your sales reps swear it's a globally fitting one.
- No ability to generate reports based on events (like a salary history report with all employees with anniversary in July)
- No Slack integration (and even using zaps \ webhooks, it gives a very minimal ability to only push out some of the data)

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

US PTO is very organized and well calculated.
If you only operate in the US, it will give you the answer you need.

  ### 39. VERY Disappointed: Loss of account access, lack of customer service

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 10, 2021

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Product Ease
Quick implementation
Very disappointed currently since we can't use the product

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Inability to connect with anyone other than e-mail.  Requested training several times and not provided.  Requested new product demonstration and not provided.  Pre-paid for 2 years and Billings dipped into our prepayment without our knowledge and then shut us down for lack of payment despite the fact that we are Health Care during a Pandemic.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am currently trying to get Billing resolved.  Looking to link with a new LMS and can't reach anyone to discuss.  Asked to speak to a Manager or the President to discuss concerns and have not been provided access.

  ### 40. Endlessly frustrating

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2021

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

There's not much that I like about BambooHR, to be very honest. The low price point is appealing.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Many functions are like black holes; the system does a really bad job at notifying you of changes or comments on things you'd think you'd be looped into (like comments on onboarding tasks you've assigned). The integration with Workable is extremely basic and we have to do a lot of manual data input. Some of the reports are not exportable (such as missing data report). You are also not able to mass request updates - while you can see how many of your employees have not input their address, you can't edit or export the report. You also can't request they update it within Bamboo, making the report essentially useless - the only thing you can do is ask your employees to update by sending them an 'announcement' (nothing is enforced). The customizations are not self-serve and you need to reach out to BambooHR to set up. Strange functionality across the platform where things don't act as you'd expect them to or you run into snags. Support is spotty.

  ### 41. Review

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2019

  ### 42. Stay away from Bamboo Payroll 

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sabrina T. | Finance Manager, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2018

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

This review is strictly for Bamboo payroll. Bamboo HR is pretty good overall. 

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Bamboo Payroll is not synced with Bamboo HR. Not only this, but also the specialists in Bamboo HR and Bamboo Payroll do not have any crossed knowledge for each platform.  And everything they do is manual including manually entering each paycheck. There is no way you can finish payroll on your own, since you need to contact Bamboo Payroll for any changes. From there, your assigned the payroll specialist will send you the payroll registry in pdf. There is no excel report available. Now I understand why an payroll specialist is assigned to each account. It's basically a payroll service that they will enter all the changes for you. But you will need to tell them all the changes, and reviewed it once it's done. Because it's a manual process at their end, it takes average 2 days to get everything correct. And in the 2 days, there is nothing you can do besides waiting. 
We didn't get any payroll training until the day of actual payroll, and our payroll specialist told us that they are way understaffed so our requests will not be visited on time. And there is nothing they can do. 


**Recommendations to others considering BambooHR:**

Stay away from Bamboo Payroll 100%. It is a nightmare. 

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Payroll. We had payroll service with Gusto and they are great. The only reason we moved from Gusto to Bamboo Payroll is we have Bamboo HR for our HR side. We were under impression that once we moved payroll to the same HR system, all the info from HR will be synced to Payroll. But it's not the case. It takes us about half day to do payroll within Gusto, and now takes average 2 days with Bamboo Payroll. Everything is manual here and the payroll specialist is slow to respond. Execupay is also very hard to work with. 

  ### 43. Excellent for non mobile users. 

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2018

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

It helps greatly with performance reviews as well as goal setting across multiple sites. I like the fact you can blindly select people to review there peers. The functionality and concept of the software works great in a company like this but you need to work on getting the mobile app to reflect and have the same functionality on android iPhone and all OS's..  

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

The mobile device functionality is not there. There have been several occasions that the vacation hours and announcements are different from the app, compared to the website. Sometimes the announcements don't even come through. I've also noticed that the the mobile devices operated differently whither it be an android, or iPhone mobile OS. I have not seen a difference in performance across the Opera, Chrome, or IE browsers but i wouldn't be surprised if there were some inconsistencies there as well. 

**Recommendations to others considering BambooHR:**

Dont use it on the mobile app. 

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Bamboo Hr has a serious issue with there mobile phone applications. On numerous occasions the app has has data both vacation time, requested days off, and company wide announcements not show up, that are on the website. This really needs to be addressed as a lot of people only have access on there mobile devices.  Being part of a multi divisional office it does make communications, and reviews easier.. as long as they have access to a non mobile device. 

  ### 44. BambooHR & Bamboo Payroll

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ryan V. | VP of Customer Success, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2017

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

We went with BambooHR so we could keep all of our payroll, benefits, and employee information in one spot. The UI is good, and for HR purposes it's fine. The applicant tracking system is pretty good as well.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

The Payroll system(powered by Execupay) is absolutely terrible. BambooHR & Bamboo Payroll don't sync updates properly, and has cost our company tens of thousands of dollars. It's a constant mess, with no end in sight. We are constanlty auditing, finding discrepancies, and it's impacting our employees. Execupay is very difficult to work with, BambooHR would be better off cutting ties, and either building something internally(similar to Namley) or going with another partner. 

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The applicant tracking system is good, has saved us some time.

  ### 45. Terrible Customer Experience 

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jane C. | Talent Acquisition Manager, Real Estate, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2017

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

We chose Bamboo because there seemed to be a lot of functionality in the system.  Really liked the option to add photos to employee profiles and the onboarding/offboarding aspects. 

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

We’re still in the implementation process and thus far, the customer experience has been terrible.  They have been rude, inflexible, and difficult to work with.  

In terms of the system, their ATS is quite clunky.  There is also no e-signature functionality until after the employee has been hired (which they do not disclose during the sales process). 

**Recommendations to others considering BambooHR:**

Buyer beware.  They will put pressure on you to sign the contract to lock into a rate without providing full disclosure on system capability or integration.  They have not been responsive to our needs during the implementation process.

I will update this review after further experience.  


**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Onboarding, time off requests, offboarding. 

**Official Response from Jamison Furr:**

> Hi, Jane! Thanks for taking the time to share a few of your thoughts about working with BambooHR. It sounds like you had a call with one of our Implementation representatives earlier today, did they alleviate all of your concerns? 

If not, we're here to help improve your experience so if you could email your Company Contact Info to support@bamboohr.com, we would love to get this all sorted out. 

  ### 46. Basic system which is okay but basic for bigger companies

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alexander G. | Associate Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2016

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Simple interface and clean colours. Calendar for the team works fine

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

Administering issues and several issues with notifications and requests make it sometime troublesome to use

**Recommendations to others considering BambooHR:**

Simple tool for small companies

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Keeping everyone up to date with their time off

**Official Response from Jamison Furr:**

> Thanks so much Alexander for the feedback. We appreciate you sharing so that we could reach out to your company and learn more about how we can improve our product.

  ### 47. Capabilities are lacking, Customer Service is HORRIBLE

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2015

**What do you like best about BambooHR?**

Originally, we loved the ease of the navigation of the system/ATS.  It's attractive on the aesthetics side and easy to navigate overall.  Training time for my hiring managers was minimal.

**What do you dislike about BambooHR?**

A few things:

1) It's almost impossible to get someone on the phone and their resolution on problems takes 2-3 weeks, with usually the response being that it's a "limitation of the system" or their product development team asks you to do research to figure out the issue

2) Reporting from the ATS side is non-existent as is the capability of the ATS.  The limitations to this piece are endless

3) While they state users aren't required to use specific browsers and their are no preferences, certain browsers will not let you access the system via phone or otherwise

4) This system still requires a significant amount of manual work.   No e-signature documentation.

**Recommendations to others considering BambooHR:**

Be specific when asking about reporting capabilities and if the ATS is important to you, get really in depth with them.  Their sell is "well yes, we offer an ATS but we have this great HRIS" not realizing that both go hand in hand.  A hire does not begin on their first day.  It begins in the submission of the application.

**What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are growing at a rapid rate.  We needed an ATS and HRIS in one.  The problem is that this system only truly focuses on the HRIS peice and the ATS is left in the dust.  Which, when you're a growing company and constantly hiring, is important.  

**Official Response from Steve Holiday:**

> Thank you so much for the feedback, we value it greatly and we are so sorry!  No excuses - we'll just get better :) We've learned more since this post, and had a good discussion about why it happened and what to do better. 

Also, for any considering BambooHR - please call and ask us about these issues, we're happy to clarify and share more!  We believe strongly in transparent and open communication, and are proud of our reputation, customer love, and service. We feel nobody does it better. We're not perfect, but working hard at it!
