Pros

Remote work and unlimited PTO

Cons

I can't edit an existing review, so this is in response to the CEO's response on my February review. Unfortunately approaching anyone directly puts a target on a employee's back, in an environment where so many of us are already uncertain whether we'll still be here in a few months. But I would like to challenge a statement made in your response that "our Bullhorn sales compensation plans are designed to ensure that our sales team is very much focused on keeping customers happy and not just rewarded for selling new software". Without providing details, I can say that several of us are currently projected to earn about 50% less this year than last year. We are managing the same accounts and doing the same jobs as last year, but the only opportunity to reach last year's earnings is to bring in new revenue; where does this suggest the rewards are focused for your sales team?

As a current employee, I'm really interested in hearing what's going on and would love to be able to actually have a dialogue together. My conversations are all confidential - I can assure you I'm not the scary HR police that wants to get you in trouble. You know where to find me, let's chat. :) - Kelley Morse, CPO

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
