Pros

The tier 1 employees are great

Cons

Low wages, ever changing rules, all perks and swag are gone, no more innovation week. Lack of transparency and commitment to employees. I was at the company for 5+ years and watched it go from a great place that I would recommend, to a hot mess sandwich. Upper leadership forced many people out the door under the guise that you can resign on your own or go on an improvement plan that you couldn’t mess up on once and be fired in a month anyways. I asked for help with my tasks because they were firing and not hiring. They let everyone in talent acquisition go, that’s the part of hr that does the hiring, so we knew we were not getting backfills. My team number and workload doubled in size without any additional leadership support they fired a manager, 2 supervisors and 2 team leads, they only replaced 1 supervisor so we were down 4 leadership positions and had to split their work up. I resigned the next day. 2 weeks later I had colleagues and atleast 6 of my employees that had been there for 1-3 years call me and tell me they were laid off. Stay away, the company has went completely downhill.

We would acknowledge that there’s been a good deal of change throughout our Support organization as we evolve our business to meet and exceed customers’ expectations - but this is change that is focused on our ability to scale as we grow. If we do not evolve and mature our business processes, everyone loses - our business, our customers, our employees. This provides immense opportunities for our employees to raise the bar and grow with us. Of course, whenever we have leaders leave the organization, it can cause short term disruption while we hire new people and get them onboarded. It sounds there just simply wasn't a good fit anymore with where we were headed, and where you wanted to stay. We wish you the best of luck as you pursue new opportunities that better align to your career goals. - Megan O'Donoghue & Kelley Morse.

Pros

Remote work and a paycheck

Cons

This company is a complete disappointment. I was fired for doing something unthinkable—asking questions. Specifically, why was there an on-call requirement that was never mentioned in the job description, onboarding, or the four interviews I went through? My manager’s response? “It’s not technically on-call since you don’t get called a lot.” That’s misleading, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. When I asked about getting basic product training—because I was managing support staff and needed to understand the product—you’d think I asked for something outrageous. The response was defensive and borderline hostile, as if I were being unreasonable for wanting to be effective in my role. How can a support manager lead without a solid grasp of the tools and systems their team supports? The Director of Enterprise Support was a micromanager with limited understanding of the actual work. She focused on the smallest, least important things while ignoring major issues, and stifled any genuine initiative or innovation. There was no strategy—just reactive chaos hidden behind corporate buzzwords. As for the culture? It was toxic. Support staff were overworked, constantly pulled in different directions, and made to feel like they should be thankful just to have a job. Burnout was rampant, and morale was in the gutter—but if you dared to bring it up, you were seen as the problem. And then there’s the so-called “voluntary leave” program. People were leaving in droves, and leadership tried to present it as “healthy growth” or “realignment.” In reality, it was damage control—a desperate move to quietly reduce headcount while pretending everything was fine. This company burns through talent, blames the very people it fails to support, and refuses to take accountability. In hindsight, being let go was the best thing that could have happened to me. If you're considering working here—think twice. You deserve a place that values integrity, transparency, and respect.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I want to acknowledge that we are not perfect and are always striving to learn and grow from each experience. In this case, it became quickly evident that it was not a great mutual fit between the organization and you. Whenever we realize we've made a mistake, we focus on addressing it promptly. I do feel there are several assumptions in your comments based on a short time working at Bullhorn resulting in unfortunate conclusions. I want to wish you the best in your future endeavors. - Mitesh Ashar, Chief Customer Officer

Pros

It's an established company backed by private equity....if that's what you're into.

Cons

This company does not respect its female employees. Management throws "diversity and inclusion events" while excluding woman from leadership. Cannot even count the number of times I was yelled over by men in a meeting then criticized later by my boss for not speaking enough. They are completely tone deaf. Stereotypical toxic male tech culture.

Our executive team shares a strong commitment to creating a great place to work for all of our employees. In order to track progress against this commitment, every quarter we ask a set of questions on our engagement survey that gives us a sense of how we're doing in creating a great place to work for everyone. Specifically, we ask whether our employees feel they have a sense of belonging, a voice that is heard and a clear path for success. Quarter over quarter, on this measure, we have seen a consistent improvement in how our female employees rate their experience at Bullhorn. But we still have work to do, and as a female leader, I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you about your experience before you left.
