Pros

Unlimited PTO, paid outings, free lunch on Wednesdays and breakfasts on Fridays, generous bonuses, clear and concise quantitative goals

Cons

Company is rapidly growing - policies, procedures, and upper-management attitude have begun to reflect some of the callousness that comes with being a corporate entity. Some issues with transparency. Plenty of diversity in support, but almost none in R&D.

Pros

Bullhorn has a huge focus in culture and it shows - not just great perks typical of tech companies, but the 5 core values are consistent across most employees and how the Bullhorn operates which fosters a really positive & collaborative environment. Management is always looking for ways to treat employees more fairly and to improve overall satisfaction on every front. Leaders themselves are very accessible and opportunities for growth are everywhere. Diversity & inclusion as well as community service are also big focuses. I enjoy the work we do, the people we work with, and the mission we all work towards - it's been a very positive experience.

Cons

A few years ago, it was discussed at a town hall that companies can be successful by pursuing one of a few avenues, including being customer obsessed, focusing on operation efficiency, being a cost leader, etc. We decided, with examples like Amazon and Zappos, that Bullhorn's path to success was through delivering an incredible experience. We've ended every meeting & presentation with this mantra for the last 5+ years but I don't think we've lived up to that. Our internal policies from support to finance to development don't reflect a customer obsessed business. We've found our success by focusing on operational efficiency and delivering a truly premium product - from an ideology standpoint it feels more GE than Zappos. With PE pressure, and growth + profitability as a key focus, I can understand why that is but it creates a cognitive dissonance to be overly fed the customer experience mantra without the follow through. Despite a really positive experience overall, I consider this a main con as it consistently leads some really tough conversations/situations

Thank you for the positive feedback here - which I was happy to hear - and also for your constructive feedback. You raised customer experience. As you know, I talk about this all the time and it is very important to me and the rest of the executive team. It sounds like you may be frustrated with some of our internal policies and feel that they're not as customer friendly as they should be. We've always said that delivering an incredible experience for customers with enterprise software is very different than the approach that consumer brands like Zappos take when delivering shoes. Many of the concepts apply, but not all. We have to make hard decisions about the investment of resources because, unlike a pair of shoes that you can restock in a warehouse, our resources are extremely expensive. And, if you don't invest your resources properly, in the long run, it impacts your customer and your employee experience. While these tradeoffs can be tough at times, overall, they are good for both the customers and the business in the long run. We know this because our customer experience index has continued to rise steadily over the past few years and we continue to enjoy the highest net promoter score in the industry (recently measured by a third party). We aren't perfect. We have tons of work to do, but that's why "Create an Incredible Customer Experience" is our core purpose and not a mission that can be completed. We'll always be striving to get better and better each year.
