Easily to keep track of my rate and writing any issues or concerns. > > I can see it as clean, straightforward, and relatively easy to learn. It tends to feel organized and “calm” in the sense that employee data, time-off tracking, trainings and performance tools are all in one place without too much clutter. ----- ### "Thanks Bamboo" — 4.0/5 > **Ali** | *21 April 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Bamboo HR has all my work stuff in one place. I saves me time and effort.I like that I can access my payslips without having to save them anywhere else. > > **Cons**: I don't have any dislikes really. The organisation chart of employees is good but hard to navigate, but I'm not sure how you could improve this visually. > > Smooth and seamless. Has everything in one place which saves time and feels easy to navigate. I feel like I'm part of a team. ----- ### "Simple but powerful." — 5.0/5 > **José Francisco** | *14 May 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It easy access by login with SSO authentication. Distribution of menus facilitates to find the right option when needed. Quick access shortcuts and mini reports (for pending vacations) are super. > > **Cons**: Report for consumed days (vacations, sick, PTO) are hard to read when listed in table and make it difficult to validate when listed. > > In general it has been very intuitive to use, as employee but as manager too. Easy to find the requests and pending approvals. ----- ### "Bamboo shows HR tools could be Fun\!\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Shrinivas** | *15 May 2026* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's very easy to use because the layout is very simple and intuitive. I also like the Employee community page, where you get quick update on important announcements in one place. > > **Cons**: The AI-based help function is not as useful as it could be. Basic queries, like "How to update profile picture?", were not resolved. Instead, it redirected to the HR manager for help. > > I like using BambooHR more compared to the other HR software I have used in past jobs. Its fresh look is much better than the rigid GUIs of older systems. Easy to get to most of the key features with 1 or at most 2 clicks. ----- ### "Awful experience" — 1.0/5 > **LuAnne** | *6 July 2026* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Not much at all. It was not a pleasant experience using Bamboo HR at our company. I will explain further. > > **Cons**: Time tracking and entering time and tracking vacation/pto was confusing. The site in it's entirety was not fluid and was not user friendly. > > It was not pleasant. It was a constant state of confusion and difficult to navigate. The software is very complicated in ways that it shouldn't be. The inability to view time off requests on the same page as the time card made it very difficult to get a good overview of time needs without constantly changing screens. ----- Page: 1 / 140\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/110968/bamboohr?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/110968/bamboohr) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | da | | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
