What I like most about Oyster is how simple and organized the platform makes international employment processes. The interface is intuitive, and having employment documents, contracts, and important information centralized in one place makes everything easier to manage. The onboarding process is straightforward, and the platform provides a convenient way to handle employment-related administrative tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, my experience with Oyster has been positive. One area that could be improved is offering more detailed guidance on certain administrative processes, including what to expect and the typical timelines involved. Clearer explanations upfront, along with more proactive updates as things progress, would make the experience even smoother—especially for international employees.

Onboarding was done smoothly with asking all necessary information during onboarding without to and fro. All my doubts for onboarding were cleared promptly by support team. The support team of Oyster is very knowledgeable and active, and responds with clear and timely updates on any ticket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CTC breakup is not provided in the agreement to be signed to the candidate. It lacks clarity on how the CTC is structured, just a rough number does not help at all. CTC structure should be included in the agreement as done by other companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oyster has a great support team. In the past whenever I have raised a ticket on its platform, it was promptly managed by the support team and they have provided time to time update about the progress on the resolution. Apart from that any agreement amendment or policy update is managed very smoothly and its system of accepting scanned signature etc has helped immensely to a remote worker like me.

I use Oyster because my experience has been consistently positive. The initial setup was smooth and straightforward, and the web portal has been excellent. It allows me to store all employment documentation in one secure place, and it's easy to access whenever I need it. Oyster solves my problem by acting as the intermediary between my UK employer who pays in British pounds and myself in Germany, handling the conversion to euros and managing all appropriate taxes and health insurances. Their support team has been great with quick, clear, and genuinely helpful responses. When I went through parental leave, all documentation was accurate and handled correctly, and the process felt well-managed. The pay calculations are managed well, ensuring all German employment costs are reliably and transparently handled. Oyster also helps me with the necessary documentation to prove I live and work here legally, allowing me a good life balance without worry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I've encountered is that their ticketing system tends to close tickets quite quickly, and replying to an older ticket doesn't seem to reopen it or bring it back to the team's attention. It's a small operational quirk, but worth noting, I think. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oyster is a well-structured HR platform that simplifies international hiring, employee onboarding, payroll, and compliance management. Its user-friendly interface and streamlined processes make managing a global workforce much easier.

One of Oyster's biggest strengths is its ability to handle complex international employment requirements while providing a smooth experience for both employers and employees.

Overall, Oyster is a valuable solution for businesses looking to expand globally without the complexities of setting up local entities. A promising platform that brings simplicity, efficiency, and transparency to global HR management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the user-friendly interface of Oyster, which makes using it pleasant and straightforward. The Oyster support team is also very helpful; whenever I have doubts or issues, they respond quickly via tickets and provide complete resolutions. Their library of articles is also a great resource for understanding policies better. I also find the onboarding process smoothly efficient, as getting verified was quick and easy. Overall, Oyster's usability and the supportive customer service make it very valuable to me, especially when dealing with issues related to payments and invoices.

Nothing as of now after using the platform for around 3 months now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Oyster lets me know about billing, time-off and leave policies, and benefits. I'm new to Oyster and have a lot of questions for HR, and they're always happy to help. When they need to look into something further, they take the time to respond, update me on progress, and make sure I get the detail I need. The setup was easy, and I've used Oyster to view my pay stubs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only concern is that I didn’t have a good initial walkthrough or support call to understand all the ins and outs. A walkthrough of where to find documentation or frequently asked questions would have helped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate Oyster's services for making my dream of moving to Spain come true. The Oyster employees I've worked with are great; they answer super quick and are extremely effective. I like using the Oyster app because I can easily submit my time off and worked time. The initial setup of Oyster was a breeze because the team was supportive and responded fast to our queries.

When I was working on my relocation, I would have liked to be more updated about what documents I will need. Also, I had a problem where the payslips were not uploaded, and I needed to write many emails. The payslips are really important for my submission for residency documents. Unfortunately, the payslip format will likely create problems as it does not explain what institutions need. When I received my payment in Romanian currency, the currency isn't even mentioned on the payslip, and this is not good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

White glove management of our cases. The same customer agent stays on our ticket until resolved. Communication on what to expect for different scenarios in different countries is very clear. Without Oyster we couldn't employ talent from outside where we have businesses (US, France); It also allows us to offer attractive benefits, have Oyster handle payroll etc and we don't have to deal with gnarly local employment laws.

At our size we currently can't use direct debit for contractors adding work on our end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that Oyster handles everything from official documents to payroll preparations, which is a real advantage. The team is there to help us find suitable solutions very quickly when a problem arises. This saves me from having to know everything about German legislation and allows me to focus on the human management of the team, which is a priority for me. The initial setup was very easy to follow and our contact is always there to listen and help us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automatic payment from Switzerland is not yet possible for us, but I think it should happen soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
