Admittedly crazy times, but still great

Pros

Reading some of the recent reviews I feel I need to set the record straight. If I were applying to a job at Bullhorn I'd look here and I don't want potentially awesome coworkers to be steered away! The reality is it's a really crazy time at Bullhorn. We've acquired a lot of companies, we have a ton of new products, and we're all moving 100 miles a second. But it is still great. The product is still cool (getting cooler) and the company just keeps adding benefits to support us. Yes, there's less free blocks on my calendar these days. But our charge is clear and motivating.

Cons

This isn't a 9-5 company. If you are looking for that, Bullhorn (and I imagine any software company) isn't the right choice.

Pros

• Interesting Product • High turnover leads to good network of ex-employees

Cons

Work life balance is nearly non-existent for some in Dev. There are many smart, borderline obsessive developers who don't need sleep and don't understand why you do. As previous reviews described Bullhorn has earned a reputation within the industry for treating people badly. People are completely disposable. They burn some people out and put up with too much bullying and nonsense that pushes others out. If you look through all these reviews, you'll see a cycle in which there are a number of reviews highlighting these issues, and then a batch of newbies who talk about the “great culture." Upper management turns a blind eye when people get screwed over, and then hire a new batch and get them to write reviews while they're still drinking the kool-aid. I think Bullhorn considers the excitement to be the "culture," but if your churning and burning employees instead of dealing with the factors that make people unhappy then *that's* your actual culture.

It sounds like you had a really bad experience and I'm truly sorry to hear that. I wanted to respond to your advice for management. You mentioned 360 reviews. We conduct 360 reviews for everyone who has direct reports every 6 months. My whole team is included in that process and we receive invaluable feedback. We also look very closely at our employee engagement scores, which we review every quarter. While we're not perfect, we still have very high employee engagement. That said, if there's a problem specific to a manager, or an office, we need to know. We've nearly doubled in the last 12 months, so it wouldn't surprise me at all to hear we've got a problem somewhere that needs attention. I'd really like to know what's driving your comments. Would you be willing to talk? My email is art at bullhorn dot com?

Pros

Awesome co workers. Flexible schedule.

Cons

High turnover. Managers fail to communicate effectively with their teams. People often just "disappear" with no explanation

We've focused our talent acquisition team on bringing more women to Bullhorn. So far, over 35% of our hires in 2018 have been women. While we are making progress we are not declaring victory. We promote between 5 and 10% of our employees every quarter; if we have overlooked someone, please let me know at kcastelda@bullhorn.com.
