BambooHR Reviews & Product Details

I find BambooHR very user-friendly and easy to use, even though it was my first time and I didn't need a tutorial. I also like the paystub calculator feature, as it's beneficial for calculating in advance. The initial setup was extremely easy too. Overall, I think it's a great tool that works really well.

I think the payment section could be a bit more user-friendly, and it would help to include clearer information about the timestamps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most useful feature is that I can track how many leaves I have and see which days I have holidays. Another feature that impressed me is that I can read documents virtually and e-sign them. I can also view the entire organisation in this application, which helps me understand how many people are in the organisation. The UI is very simple, easy to set up, and easy to use, and it also makes onboarding much simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I don’t have any negative feedback about this application. However, sometimes on the mobile app it logs me out automatically, and I have to log in again. That’s the only issue I’ve noticed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that BambooHR keeps employee information in one place and makes it easy to manage time-off requests and access HR documents. I also like being able to see employee birthdays and work anniversaries, which helps everyone stay informed and recognize important milestones. Overall, it makes everyday HR tasks simple and convenient. I like having everything in one place instead of having to go through multiple systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Certain tasks take more steps than expected. Overall, there isn’t much I dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it's a SaaS resource with accompanying app which is pretty straightforward to use. It's stable and performs well, the uptime is reliable and does the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the Home page (dashboard) muddled, and not very intuitive. I also find the Time off card on the dash unintuitive and no clear link to the time off page if you don't like the widget. As IT Manager, I also dislike the lack of MS EntraID integration bilateral SCIM. Also the lack of Outlook calendar integration for my time off. And lastly no useful RABC control to allow system admins to configure high level integrations without being able to see sensitive data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BambooHR is a clear, practical hub for people data—time off, profiles, and org structure in one place. It’s easy for managers and the team to use day to day without jumping between tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Full page reloads when switching sections feel slow compared with modern SPA apps. From an IT perspective, I also miss a clear token-based API to pull the data I’m allowed to see into AI/MCP tools and small internal team integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that BambooHR is easy to navigate and extremely user-friendly. Updates for time-off requests are sent straight to my email, and my paystub is easy to review and break down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In full transparency, I’m honestly not sure I’ve found anything I don’t like. As an employee, I feel that BambooHR provides everything I need through a straightforward, easy-to-use dashboard, and it makes it simple to find what I’m looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find BambooHR really easy to use for entering my hours. I like being able to see my current and previous pay periods, check my timesheet, edit it, and add more than one time entry. I can also go back and enter missed hours from earlier in the month, as long as it’s not the previous pay period. I like seeing my paid hours, when the pay period will be sent for approval, how many days are left in the pay period, and how many hours I’ve worked so far. BambooHR separates my paid, training, student, and coaching hours, so I can see how much time I spent on different types of work. I also like being able to see my job status, employee ID, job title, location, and project pay rates. The mobile app makes it easy to enter a session I forgot to log, even when I’m away from my computer. Setting it up was one of the easier things to do, and it’s one of the easiest ways to put in hours that I’ve ever seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I never get notifications from the “What’s happening at your job” area, and it takes up half the screen. I’d rather use that space to see my work info and time sheet instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a copywriter, I typically write about a lot of processes and information that teams apart from my own do. However, we have quite a few people in the company, and I really don't know everyone! The people tab and org chart are really helpful for when I need to reach out to someone specific about certain requests. I can get the name, email, and phone number of other employees in minutes whenever I need to, which has saved me so much time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an employee / normal user of the tool, it frustrates me that I need permission to update some personal records, like my email. I've put in a request months ago to change my email, but it still hasn't been reviewed! I'm not sure if that's really a BambooHR issue or if our HR team just doesn't review those kinds of things.

BambooHR has streamlined our workflow by automating timesheet submissions. This has significantly saved us valuable time each week.

The AI-powered Ask chatbot is intuitive and incredibly easy to use. Instead of digging through multi-level menus to find infrequently accessed files, like annual W-2 forms or onboarding handbooks, the Ask chatbot surfaces documents' location instantly.

The payroll integrations deliver reliable same-day direct deposit on payday. I also optimize the ability to customize my paycheck allocations by percentages or specific dollar amounts across different accounts, which makes managing personal savings goals effortless.

Automating timesheet submissions has saved my organization valuable time each week while eliminating manual entry errors and the hassle of chasing down approvals.

The user interface is clean, modern, and uncluttered. Key tasks like requesting PTO, reviewing benefits, or searching the org chart take just a couple of clicks, leading to high adoption across the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The transition from our previous platform required a brief adjustment period. Specifically, configuring routine entries, such as mid-shift unpaid lunch breaks, felt unintuitive during the initial setup and could be streamlined for a better user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find BambooHR easy to use, and I like having important company files on the front page. I can easily access the company handbook, disability leave rules, and calendars for company holidays and floating holidays I can use for PTO. Submitting PTO is really simple compared to the last platform, and I can clearly see how much is pending and how much I have left for each type. I like the monthly pay visualizations and the automated email reminders when my paycheck hits. The org chart is super useful because I can easily find the right people to connect with by role, whether or not I already know who I’m looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My annual review was the worst experience I’ve had with BambooHR. I was supposed to get it before my review date so I could fill it out, but I got it on the day of. The performance section could be better, with earlier reminders for both managers and individual contributors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
