Pros

Easy going environment, friendly staff

Cons

Some of the worst mid level managers around, considering it claims to be an innovative software company. Product technology is out dated and lacks great innovation. Upper management Gives more importance to sales staff than most other departments combined. Shoves propaganda down all employees' throats, to the extent where it actually insults one's intelligence. There are some inhuman practices taking place in support, such as the policing and penalising of bathroom breaks, among other things. There are a lot of internal politics at play, particularly for promotions, and some of the most incompetent people are assigned to manage teams of young developers, analysts, engineers, which leads to a high turnaround of staff and low retention of good employees.

Wow, you have a lot of strong opinions, which I wish you'd shared with HR before your departure. Glassdoor is a great forum for feedback, but when we see reviews like this we wish we had more insight into why you left feeling this way. Let's set up a time to talk kcastelda@bullhorn.com.

Pros

It's nearly impossible to find a company to work for that has the same culture as Bullhorn. One thing specifically has kept me at Bullhorn: everyone WANTS you to succeed and WANTS to help you succeed, if they can.

Cons

Bullhorn is a work-from-home-first company, so there's not much outside interaction / socializing with your colleagues, unless you work in one of the offices. If that is something that is important to you, when looking for your next employer, you may want to consider working from one of the brick-and-mortar offices Bullhorn has.

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
