BambooHR reviews

BambooHR was always on the up and up. People were happy and things seemed to be going in a good direction. There were some negatives such as heavily requesting for referrals; however, the talent aquistion team never follows up or treats those friends you refer with eespect and honesty, which is why i stopped referring individuals. The pay is extremely minimal. They claiming they are paying fair rates but when shown that they are not you are met with, "Well those companies pay so high because they don't have a culture." Last year, when we got a new CEO, we were promised career opportunities and training opportunities. A year has passed and this promise still has not been given or even shown a real roadmap. In reality the opportunities are basically not existent. You try and create these opportunities for yourself but instead are told, no that is a lateral move you don't want that or nah we don't think you'll be a good fit for that. When Covid19 hit, BambooHR did probably what they thought was the best they could do. They kept saying, "We haven't let people go, we didn't do pay decreases, we didn't furlough individuals. We are one of the only companies that didn't do this along Silicon Slopes. In fact we are hiring continously!" What they aren't telling you is that they are hiring because they have lost so many people. Why? Because they cut wage increases (only to bring it back again under the circumstance of "Do the right thing"), hired 2-3 new top level executives (can see it even on LinkedIn), are using their values as crutches for decisions that they are making, and top level executives are refusing to accept accountability for the mistakes they are making. We are constantly being told, after providing our feedback and thoughts, well what can you do to help the situation. I truly believe that BambooHR believes that they have handled the Covid19 thing quite well but if the leaving numbers of individuals doesn't cause a red flag for them then that only means they are not looking at the bigger picture or wanting to change at all.

The benefits are great but they don't make up for the severly low compensation. Your direct manager is only allowed to approve up to 1 hour of overtime every pay period and unfortunately management doesn't realize that some teams have to work overtime because we have to hit deadlines for our clients employees to get paid. In payroll, there is a lot of micromanagement. If you don't like to be micromanaged, payroll is not for you. There is a lot of career growth at Bamboo, but if you start in Customer Experience and try to make a jump to another department, you are going to have a difficult time. When I interviewed for this job, I was not told what the position would be. Some of us thought it was a sales position and it is not. Be completely transparent with what the role is during the interview process.
