Pros

There are benefits, Bonuses Remote working

Cons

There are many cons to working here if you are more technical and want a technical career. This is your typical SAAS company so its run like a call center. For those who are Non Technical, they can potentially do well here but that all comes down to what clique you are in. If you are in the right clique, you will have access to promotions. For the rest, it doesnt matter how hard you work or how many tickets you close, you will remain a Teir 1 analyst for your entire tenure. There are many Teir 1 analyst who have been her for 5+ years with no movement in sight, If you want a technical role, Bullhorn isnt the place for you to find it. This role was not for me as it hindered my career trajectory. Its all propreity software which doesnt get you far. I would recommend not staying longer than a year if you can because it just gets worse from there. You will become obselete and in this job market, I have seen many former co workers who were let go during the last layoff still struggling to find work as their skills dont translate well anywhere else. There is a high turnover rate, micromanagement, an odd promotions structure and an unfair bonus structure. Let me put it this way, getting promoted from T1 Support to T1 Support 2 is an insult and their way of lying to your face. Its the same the exact job so its a fake promotion. Its very low pay and the bonuses are hard to get especially if you take any PTO. You really cant trust management when they discuss you and any disciplinary actions you may have received with other people. Talking to HR about it gets you no where but more discipline and retaliation. If you are Non Technical, this could be a good place for you to grow your career if not, dont stay too long. Also, let me make this clear, minority groups cannot represent each other. You will notice the higher you go the more white and male it gets. This is a fact. Again, minority groups dont represent each other so it means nothing to a poc if a white woman has a high position.

We have a zero tolerance policy in place for retaliation and I personally stand by this. Please, as a current employee, I'd encourage you to come and talk to me, confidentially. We've been working really hard to evolve our Support organization to address some of the legacy challenges we've had, but by some of the things you are saying, there's either a disconnect or some other challenge(s). This is not the Bullhorn experience for most of our employees, nor how we want people to feel, so I'd encourage you to come and share your perspective with me so I can potentially help. - 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

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
