      Pros

      Bullhorn may be an ok place to work if you're a recent grad or relatively untenured and frankly don't know any better. If you're willing to drink the Koolaid and play the game, you will be recognized and rewarded. It's not boring. The product is dominant within the industry.

      Cons

      It's a boys' club. They might be able to claim equal or near-equal numbers, but the underlying culture operates like a fraternity. Managers and leadership make decisions on direction and key projects quickly and not based on data. Priorities shift constantly and the most important thing one day is not the most important thing the next. People spend a lot of time on things that ultimately get scrapped or aren't useful. There are tons of side projects that aren't counted as part of things like performance reviews, but still take a lot of time. There is a difference between adaptable when necessary versus having to be constantly adaptable. A majority of the senior leadership team have been at Bullhorn for a long time, some not having their titled roles at other companies. This is a problem because they don't have any experience/training elsewhere, having grown into their roles at Bullhorn, and this occasionally manifests as not knowing their discipline well. If your calendar isn't blocked solid for the day, requiring you to fit in actual work elsewhere, you're not working hard enough. Feeling like you did a good enough job even though you're working your tail off is almost impossible. They talk a lot about company culture, but it's not organic or realized in true day-to-day work life. If you have any depth in your field, there are plenty of other companies who will value that. Don't invest in landing at Bullhorn only to realize by 6 months that it wasn't what you thought it would be, and be looking for other opportunities (again) by 12 months. Also my hunch is that they are writing a lot of the 5-star 'wouldn't change a thing' reviews, because they all sound the same (and simply can't be true!).

      I'm disapointed to hear that your Bullhorn journey didn't hit the mark for you. We do operate as a fast pace, agile company, which means sometimes we need to change course, but our overall Strategic Initiatives have remained steady. Not everyone enjoys operating at this level, and that is okay. Every one of the responses on here are unsolicited and coming from individual people and are their own perspective. We work really hard to ensure that we have a culture of inclusion and have been transparent that our numbers are not equal, but that we are very intentinally making progress towards that goal. If there was behavior concerning to you in your time here, I'd be happy to have a confidential chat - a frat like environment is not who we are, and if there are grounds here, we would immediately address it. Wishing you the best in your future endeavors. -Kelley Morse, SVP, HR.

      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

      Pros

      Approachable leadership that leads by example Excellent managers Top notch culture and people Flexible and remote work options Great work/life balance Unlimited PTO Solid health benefits + 401K Mentorship program Always evolving - keeps you on your toes Constant learning opportunities

      Cons

      Always evolving can also be a con - while I personally thrive in this setting, the constant change can (and has been) not ideal for some, especially in the last few years.

      This is an incredibly thoughtful review. What sticks with me is the part on seasons and living through each of them. Getting through winter makes the summer feel just that much better, and while you're toughing it out, the relationships only deepen in times of challenge. It's a really good analogy. Thanks for giving me a few to mull on this morning. Hope you continue to love it here, thrive here through all the seasons ahead! - Kelley Morse, CPO
