Pros

It's quite easy to get a job there and progress your career if you befriend the right people and you are willing to keep your mouth shut about what you really think.

Cons

A lot of employees and business focus has steadily been moving back to the USA, so I wouldn't be too keen on joining the UK business at the moment. The UK management team are much more old-fashioned recruitment types than progressive tech types, which is reflected in the culture of the business - management styles, recreational activities etc. The US have far too much control over the UK business with the UK leadership more puppets than anything else. Unfortunately, the US team are pretty clueless about how to maintain growth in the UK so make a lot of bad decisions. The management team is extremely two faced, so the work environment is pretty bad unless you are part of the in crowd.

At Bullhorn we value everyone's feedback even when it is not positive. That being said, I'm taken aback by this review. It seems like there is a disconnect here. Our investment in the UK market continues to grow. This isn't reflective of how the leadership team views the UK business, and I'm very concerned that you feel this way. It seems like you have some strong feelings, and I'd like the opportunity to be able to understand your perspective better. I know leadership is something that you are concerned about so if you aren't comfortable reaching out to me, please reach out to HR to discuss.

Pros

It's nearly impossible to find a company to work for that has the same culture as Bullhorn. One thing specifically has kept me at Bullhorn: everyone WANTS you to succeed and WANTS to help you succeed, if they can.

Cons

Bullhorn is a work-from-home-first company, so there's not much outside interaction / socializing with your colleagues, unless you work in one of the offices. If that is something that is important to you, when looking for your next employer, you may want to consider working from one of the brick-and-mortar offices Bullhorn has.

The headline says it all for me! I'm so glad you're having such a positive experience here, and appreciate your advice about the remote first environment. We have some virtual events coming up in September, and I'll hope you're take part in them! Let's keep raising the bar together! - Kelley Morse, CPO

Pros

-Brand is well-known, Bullhorn has established their position in the market, navigated numerous highs and lows through the years, and remains at the top -Constantly evolves with the industry, feels like the business strategy is ahead of the curve and not behind the curve -Dynamic and innovative, I learn new things constantly and I am rarely bored here -Consistently promotes from within and encourages career growth via ad-hoc opportunities and stretch projects, invests in talent via leadership programs -Culture of excellence, attracts high-achievers, high standards are balanced with the flexibility of a remote-first environment and trust, leaders treat you like adults and empower you to manage your own time and work -The core values are aligned with my personal values, and employees actually live them (leadership included) -The people are the best: Agile, collaborative, smart, innovative, and they CARE about each other, about the work, and about the industry; global workforce offers incredible opportunities to learn about and work with other people toward a common goal

Cons

-Bullhorn changes and evolves with the industry, which sometimes causes shifts in projects, priorities, and teams. If you don't like change and/or can't connect your day-to-day work to the bigger picture strategy of a company and pivot accordingly, this isn't the place for you. The expectations and pace aren't for everybody (but 10/10 would recommend to the right person).

This is a really terrific review, and is one of the accurate portrayals of our company. For all the PROS, the cons are real - we move quickly, and a certain type of talent thrives here. I hope you continue to love it and feel energized by where we are going - if not, you know where to find me!! - Kelley Morse, CPO
