"Streamlined Payments with Effortless Setup"
4/5
What do you like best about Oyster?

I like the fact that I am able to input multiple account payment details. I have several different accounts and then I am able to share all those different account details in different currencies to the people that are paying me. Oyster streamlines my finances by allowing me to manage payments through multiple accounts, which helps with my financial audit practices. Being able to have a log of all the money that has come in and see the different vendors and the different companies paying me helps me keep neat financial books, records, and accounts. This makes it easier to streamline either my tax payments or my budgeting month to month. The setup and onboarding was fairly easy and took me less than five minutes to input everything.

"User-Friendly and Highly Recommendable Platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Oyster?

I really appreciate Oyster's user-friendly platform. I also value the communication and professionalism of the team. The initial setup was very easy, and I appreciate how everything has a specific place, with all the material needed for my employment in France already there and converted to the local process. The platform is very clear and concise, and I really enjoy it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oyster?

The only slight piece of feedback I would give is about the portage model that was used, which ultimately was not a fit for me. It took some time to resolve that and get a solution in place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and Reliable Payments Platform"
4/5
What do you like best about Oyster?

I love how Oyster helps me process my payments from the company I work for. It's a relief to receive money in USD easily via their platform. I enjoy the ability to withdraw my money easily and the fast settlements to my bank account. When money is paid to my account faster, I can pay my bills and maintain my lifestyle without waiting for 2 weeks. The initial setup of Oyster was quite easy and faster, which I really appreciate.

What do you dislike about Oyster?

Their onboarding questions used to be quite long, they should reduce that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Oyster helps us get talent from anywhere."
4/5
What do you like best about Oyster?

Oyster is very easy to use and is very clear in allowing us to set up employees that live elsewhere. I also enjoy the cost calculator feature which is very useful when deciding whether to hire employees or not. It is easy to bring this data quickly to a discussion with Leadership which before required me to spend a long time working out the cost of bringing people through an EOR. And the hiring process and onboarding flows through Oyster are very simple to use and easy to complete make it less cumbersome for us as admin and for employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oyster?

It seems like Oyster is built on the basis that you only hire employees through oyster and that most customers would use it this way. Specifically for us, and I am sure more businesses are the same, it would be better if the integration with HRIS was more complete, understanding that businesses will generally use a separate HRIS to manage all their employees and it would be ideal to Oyster would auto sync with our HRIS.

This would be everything from documents to details. This is the bit I dislike most about Oyster because it creates additional admin work to have to keep both systems up to date.

As an additional, it would be good if it could integrate with out ATS system Workable too or any ATS so when we hire someone it moves straight to Oyster if applicable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Oyster is simple to use and makes it easy to pay our international contractors and employees seamlessly.

What do you dislike about Oyster?

"Easy to Use but Needs Faster Benefits Onboarding"
3/5
What do you like best about Oyster?

I find the Oyster site easy to use. I also like how easy it is to open a ticket to get in touch with someone for support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oyster?

The benefits onboarding is not a good experience, they told me it takes ten business days to get set up, but I need my healthcare coverage to start by the 1st of the next month, and this is cutting it close. feel like this should be a lot faster and easier. I've used Rippling in the past and thought that was a much better experience. Also, Rippling has a mobile app, which I prefer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oyster?

I have not had many issues. When I originally joined there were issues between my internship and full time employment at the same company. We could not merge the user profiles which caused a few issues. It was not resolved, however there were work arounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Global Employment with Oyster Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Oyster?

The thing I like most about Oyster is the customer service. The manager I dealt with was very friendly and direct in communication, always getting back to me within a couple of hours, so I didn't have to wait long for replies. The mobile app and the interface are also quite neat and very clear to work with, enabling me to do work more efficiently and in less time. The initial setup was very easy; I was able to create my account and start using it right away. I'm totally positive about it and will definitely recommend Oyster whenever there's an opportunity.
