Pros

Good brand name in the industry, for now. Decent travel budget. Good peer level coworkers.

Cons

It’s as if anyone with a VP title hasn’t ever sold anything in their life. No real process, poor tools, no strategy or direction….only constant changes coupled with shady commission payouts and extreme micromanagement (VPs will literally try and run your deals). I’m 20 years into a SaaS sales career and Bullhorn is easily the worst place I’ve worked. It’s the epitome of clueless boys club. Only work here if you want that frat boy culture coupled with poor customer experiences and a decaying brand image.

If I am correct, I believe you and I had many a conversations in your time here, so I'm sorry to see this negative of a review. I understand you had challenges while here, but I think saying we're a boys/frat culture isn't reflective of what the company is like and the review overall is pretty harsh. Either way, it's clear there was a fit issue on both sides, and I very much wish you success and happiness in your new role. I'll be cheering you on! :) - Kelley

Good place to learn

Pros

Bullhorn is a great environment to develop and refine your skills in SaaS sales. The product is solid, and while the market may fluctuate, there are always opportunities to close deals. It’s a place where you can truly learn the art of navigating a competitive sales landscape. One of Bullhorn’s biggest strengths is its flexibility. Whether you’re seeking a four-day workweek or need to take advantage of unlimited PTO, the company is very accommodating. This makes it an ideal choice for individuals with young families or those looking to prioritize a better work-life balance. As a remote-first organization, Bullhorn also offers a level of flexibility that’s hard to match. You have the freedom to work from anywhere, which adds to the overall balance and quality of life, allowing employees to manage their time and responsibilities more effectively.

Cons

The shift to a fully remote setup has significantly impacted the company culture. Many employees seem disengaged, with productivity suffering as a result. A large portion of the workday is consumed by internal calls that could easily be handled via email, creating unnecessary distractions and inefficiencies. It often feels like a small percentage of the workforce is carrying the majority of the load, while others contribute very little. New hires face an especially difficult time. There is very little enablement provided in terms of valuable resources or training, leaving them unprepared for the challenges of their roles. Instead of structured onboarding, new employees are left to rely on a few individuals with tribal knowledge to navigate their responsibilities, which creates inconsistency and a lack of proper support. Change within the company is painfully slow and often poorly organized. When new initiatives or systems are introduced, they tend to be executed in a disjointed manner, leading to confusion and inefficiency. The rollout of new software is typically a mess, with poor communication and limited support, leaving employees frustrated and struggling to adapt. The company also struggles with mergers and acquisitions. It often feels like little to no due diligence is conducted before merging with or acquiring another business, leading to poorly integrated teams and systems. This lack of foresight has directly contributed to falling revenue, as the company’s ability to absorb and leverage new assets is hindered by the lack of strategic planning. Leadership remains a concern. Many tenured leaders haven’t kept pace with modern business practices or remote work strategies, making them seem out of touch. On top of that, there are far too many middle managers who add little value and offer minimal direction. This bloated management structure only serves to complicate decision-making and stifles innovation across the company.
