BambooHR Reviews

I am a DevOps Engineer and I mostly deal with the Bamboo CI/CD automation part. I facilitate my team by providing the environment to run their tests. 

Generally, I create the pipelines that take the code base from our repository and build the code to create bundles for Android and archives IPA files for iOS. I use Fastlane to upload them to the respective stores automatically.

Bamboo has a vast number of pre-built adapters which can be used as plug and play components. We do not need to invest much in the implementation side as there are a lot of pre-built plugins. It reduces a lot of manual effort compared to Jenkins and other open-source CI tools. I find that Bamboo is a little better in this regard.

I used BambooHR in my previous organizations. We maintained employee profiles and used it for communication, sort of like an alternative for the internet.

We mostly used it through the web application, not the mobile app. The web application was sufficient, even for people who accessed things through their mobile devices.

The ease of use was most valuable. It's very intuitive. There's a certain level of simplicity with the whole package. You don't require a lot of training to start using it. 

The customer service was excellent; you could always jump on a chat with the tech service team and find a solution immediately.

We use the solution to register resources, see how the company is organized, and do performance reviews.

I really like the way the product is organized. The hierarchy is very easy to use when we want to find who is reporting to whom. The product is user-friendly. The GUI is really good. I like it a lot.

I use this solution for all things HR related. It was the first HRIS system that I implemented for a company of around 300 employees. I was able to consolidate our software systems because BambooHR offers pulse surveys, NPS scores and performance reviews. It also tracks training and acts as an applicant tracking system. 

The HR metrics that this solution provides has been most useful. We also really like the fact that employees have the ability to be self sufficient and manage their own information. They can look up their benefits, update their information and review documents. 

We also use Bamboo to store job descriptions, employee manuals and other pertinent information.

My company uses BambooHR to store employee information, including contact information, schedules, language ability, etc.

In the past, we managed all this information using Excel. Switching to BambooHR made it easier to access the information. It's easier to use and share reports. I can allow people to do their own reports so they don't need to deal with HR. BambooHR puts everything into one place, so I don't have to comb through several Excel files to collect all the information I need to make a report.

We use this solution for our end to end HR needs from onboarding and hiring to learning.

The employee orientation and onboarding functionalities has been very useful. Email automation to interviewers and the interviewees and the subsequent parallel scheduling of interviews is very easy using this solution.

We use BambooHR for HR purposes. For example, reporting and headcount. We have many divisions in the company, it's easier for us to create the headcounts, and do reporting, announcements, files, and emails that we send on a group level to the employees. sorry, the employees we have access to see. Additionally, it is used for the time off balance and the performance.

In the BambooHR performance management annual evaluations we have some limits to the questions. We can only add four extra questions, and they already have three basic questions, this is not easy for us. We would like to have more flexibility with the questions.

In a future release, the time tracking for the employees could improve. In order to set the time tracking, we need to add the compensation and all the personal information of the employees. If we could use the time tracking without the compensation, that would be great.

BambooHR is like a company directory. Half of the company has a profile on the solution so you can see information about each staff member. People can request staff and leave, see when each staff member has joined the company, or see who is on leave and when they will return to work. Company-wide announcements are also on BambooHR.

I can easily go to BambooHR to search for any staff member in the company. We are a very big company, we have quite a number of staff. I can search for any staff member in BambooHR, whether they are on leave, when they joined the company, or when they are going to celebrate their anniversary.

I can access information from the company directory where people can get information and share news about the company. Unlike on Kissflow, which is majorly for approval when requesting resources, we can log our leave on BambooHR.
