Pros

- There are some very smart, diligent people at Bullhorn .

Cons

- This is a company for a very specific type of person. - It is the only firm for which I’ve ever worked where almost 50% of my Services team voluntarily quit on the same day. 3 out of 8 persons resigned, putting enormous, back-breaking stress on the rest of the services organization to avoid failure and seemingly inevitable fire-squad. - Middle management takes no accountability for shortcomings (just the opposite, hence the above...) - CEO is not a leader. CEO is not innovative. CEO is a stage prop for the Private Equity giant behind Bullhorn, which has cornered the market via multiple, PE-backed acquisitions in the last 5 years. - Beware of Bullhorn culture. Stay vigilant of Bullhorn’s "benevolent personalities". Especially beware of those with tenure and who seem nice and harmless. Their support goes only as far as your incentives are aligned. - Not a place for the ethical growth. Any employee with a real moral compass is sitting on a ticking time bomb. - This company is a high-yield bond. Join at your own risk. At minimum, be methodical. You may prefer a more ethically run business at lower salary like me.

I'm sorry to hear that you feel you had such a poor experience in your time at Bullhorn. There's alot in this review, and without more specific examples, it's hard to really figure out what happened here. We will be the first people to admit that we aren't perfect, that we listen, learn, and evolve along the way, but one thing we stand behind is our ethics. I really encourage any employee to come have a confidential chat with me, with our HRBPs, with our CEO, anyone on our leadership team if you see something that goes against our Code of Conduct or Core Values. If there is something going on, I can assure our employees that we will address it. I know you've moved on from the organization, but I'd welcome a chat if you wanted to reach out. - Kelley.morse@bullhorn.com, 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
