Pros

Felt the genuine, honest, culture from the CEO but unfortunately this didn't ripple down, get exemplified, or enforced through senior management. Amazing technical staff, Primarily dedicated and hardworking staff throughout the organisation. Great corporate IT department and support. Great technical staff, usually gained through acquisition.

Cons

Old fashioned, over-processed, lack of innovation generically (the teams that did, usually acquisitions, were not recognise for doing so). Let down by several senior managers who seemed more focussed on their own spin than the actual values, rather than enabling KPIS and utilising the excellent potential of the company.

Pros

lots of free nights out. plenty of alcohol on expenses if you hang out with the right people.

Cons

read all the reviews on here. there are lots of positive reviews that still mention how clicky it is. if you are part of the club then you will find that you can behave however you want and will be promoted to pretty much any level. There are lots of examples of this in sales. If you are not part of the club then you probably wont stay more than a year or 2

Having an incredible culture is very important to us at Bullhorn. We strive to make this the best place for our employees to come each day to do their best work. One of the things that makes Bullhorn unique are the shared values that we live by each day. Each of us, regardless of level or performance, are measured not only against our results, but also how we live our our Bullhorn Core Values. We also aim to create an environment in which every employee feels a sense of belonging, and we are fortunate to have many long-tenured employees at the company, but we still have more work to do, and it sounds like in this case we fell short. Our hope is that our employees can develop great careers, work with awesome people, and continuously help make Bullhorn a great place to work.

Propaganda, political miasma & debauchery rampant

Pros

Easy going environment, friendly staff

Cons

Some of the worst mid level managers around, considering it claims to be an innovative software company. Product technology is out dated and lacks great innovation. Upper management Gives more importance to sales staff than most other departments combined. Shoves propaganda down all employees' throats, to the extent where it actually insults one's intelligence. There are some inhuman practices taking place in support, such as the policing and penalising of bathroom breaks, among other things. There are a lot of internal politics at play, particularly for promotions, and some of the most incompetent people are assigned to manage teams of young developers, analysts, engineers, which leads to a high turnaround of staff and low retention of good employees.

Wow, you have a lot of strong opinions, which I wish you'd shared with HR before your departure. Glassdoor is a great forum for feedback, but when we see reviews like this we wish we had more insight into why you left feeling this way. Let's set up a time to talk kcastelda@bullhorn.com.
