"Efficient for HR Tasks, But Navigation Needs Improvement"
5/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I really appreciate being able to see all 315 employees at once, which is quite convenient. It's really nice to visualize the org chart and fill out forms quickly for my HR team. I like the ability to sign forms very quickly on BambooHR, which means I don't have to print them out. It's all in one place, and I can just press sign and move on with my day. The initial setup was very simple, making the transition smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

I find it a little bit confusing on where to actually find things. For example, in the file section, I can't always find every single file that I've ever signed. That's probably the biggest difficulty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Stable Core Database, But the Rest Feels Like a Basic Filing Cabinet"
2/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

The core database is relatively stable for storing information once it’s actually in the system. The interface is basic but functional if you just need a simple digital filing cabinet for candidate records. The API integrations aren’t bad, and the day-off and vacation approval functions are useful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The platform feels outdated because it completely lacks modern AI features for screening, matching, or summarizing profiles. The biggest dealbreaker for us is the sourcing process: there’s no native integration, proper extension, or parsing tool to pull candidate data directly from LinkedIn. When our team finds a great candidate on LinkedIn, every single piece of their information has to be copy-pasted and entered into the database manually. That’s a massive waste of time and it seriously hurts our hiring efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Instant Visibility: A Dashboard that quietly keeps me in sync with everything happening across team"
4/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

What I like most is how everything I need is visible the moment I log in. I usually just check the dashboard to see who's out, any pending time-off requests, and general team updates. It saves me from asking around or checking multiple tools. It feels simple, but it actually makes daily HR-related checks much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

At times, I feel like I have to click around more than expected to find certain details. The dashboard is clean, but not everything is directly accessible from there. Also, I wish there were a bit more flexibility in customizing what shows up on the main screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Navigate with a Simple, Intuitive Interface"
5/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

Easy to navigate, simple interface. I've never been unable to find something I'm looking for. I most often use the "time off" tab, and view the org chart. I have no complaints with either of those features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The only thing that I find difficult is accessing the company calendar. Right now I have to navigate to "Who's Out" and then click on a small button at the bottom that says "Full Calendar." I check the calendar not just for seeing who's out but also to find company holidays. I wish there was a more intuitive way to access it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

For UI / UX: Highly praised for its clean, intuitive interface and ease of use, which enables both HR admins and employees to navigate the platform with little to no training. The native apps ensure a connected, seamless experience across all HR functions.

"Easy to Navigate with Clearly Presented Information"
4.5/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I like that it’s easy to use and navigate. The information is clearly presented, so it’s simple to find what I’m looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

My HR team seems pretty confused about how to use the tool. They often add multiple reviews, close them too early, or enter incorrect or duplicate information. It may be user error, but that’s definitely the biggest drawback for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Company Updates and Contact Search, Though Some Uncertainty Remains"
3/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

Makes it easy to keep up with whats going on with the company, and search for conact info. The UI is decent, modern, API intergration is pretty easy to use, not many would need it. The performance is largely depenedent on internet connection speed, the webiste seems to run well. I dont deal with pricing I have heard its wuite expensive for what it does. Support is quick, got help today actually. The AI is basic customer facing AI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Honestly? I could vibe code this website in a couple weeks and launch it for free for my compant, that is the way of the future. All these platforms are not going to last Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined, Intuitive BambooHR That Makes Tasks Fast and Effortless"
4/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

I really like two key aspects of BambooHR: the streamlined interface and the intuitive way it lets me access what I need. Coming from multiple prior organizations that used Workday, I never feel lost in BambooHR or unsure about where to go or what to click. Everything I need is right in front of me when I log in; it isn’t cluttered or overwhelming, and it feels snappy to use. I can get everything done in seconds to minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

BambooHR needs theme support so I can set up a dark mode for my view. I find the default theme too bright for my eyes, and being able to choose between a couple of different colour palettes would be lovely. Secondly I would like my vacation/sick/out-of-office to automatically populate into my Outlook calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bamboo’s Customization Made Switching Back a No-Brainer"
5/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

How customizable it is! We switched to Mosaic awhile back and we are so happy to be switching back to Bamboo!!! Mosaic did not allow much customization and was very complicated to use, while Bamboo is not complicated at all and allows for so much customization, especially compared to Mosaic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

The only thing I don't like about Bamboo is that it does not have a scheduler/time card functionality, so we have to use it + Deputy for schedules and time cards. If they had those additions as well, it would be damn near perfect! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined, Stress-Free HR Management in One Place"
5/5
What do you like best about BambooHR?

The platform makes it easy to manage employee information, track time off, and handle HR tasks all in one place without feeling overwhelmed. I especially appreciate how streamlined the interface is. It really helps simplify day-to-day HR processes and keeps everything organised, which saves a lot of time and reduces stress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

One thing I dislike about BambooHR is that while it’s great for basic HR tasks, it can feel limited when you need more advanced features or customisation. For example, it doesn’t offer very strong analytics or built-in tools like a learning management system, which can be a drawback for growing or more complex organisations. Another downside is pricing and add-ons, costs can increase quickly, and pricing isn’t always transparent upfront. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
