We use BambooHR as our central HR platform for pretty much everything people-related. Day-to-day that means managing employee records, handling time-off requests and approvals, and running onboarding and offboarding workflows for new hires and departures. We also use it for performance reviews and tracking 1:1s with managers, and our employees use the self-service features to update their own info, check PTO balances, and access company documents. It’s essentially replaced a mix of spreadsheets and disconnected tools we were using before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting can feel limited unless you’re on a higher-tier plan, and the payroll module still feels a bit disconnected from the rest of the platform. Pricing is also frustrating — you have to request a quote just to get a number, which makes budgeting comparisons harder than it should be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
