Propaganda, political miasma & debauchery rampant

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.

Hi - I'm sorry to hear you felt this way and that is seemingly overwrote the entire experience you had here at Bullhorn. That's not our hope for our alumni. Wishing you the very best in your next chapter! Kelley

Pros

- Exposure to many different products within the Bullhorn Suite which means you'll keep learning new use cases and new customer problems to solve, won't get dry - Market leaders in region for ATS - A few high performers across the sales team with long tenures and have successfully grown the region year over year from a start-up - Monthly mobile phone expense is subsidised - I believe there is a strong leadership team in the US and hats off to the executive team for growing tremendously year on year

Cons

- With so many different products, you'll have minimal time to ramp/upskill on the products whilst doing your day-to-day job. This often means working longer hours than expected. - Whilst you may work after hours of the contracted hours - depending on your direct report, there's a high degree of micromanaging and unfair expectation to start at 8:30am on the dot. Refusal to comply would often result in criticism and being written up. - The pay is below market rate and as it is private equity owned RSUs/Options are not available. - Additionally, normal tech company benefits are non-existent. For example: Complimentary private health insurance, gym membership and home internet reimbursement. - If you are joining the solutions consultant team, it is important to note your direct report in region will be a first time manager. In addition to inexperience, the person is quite fickle depending on how other colleagues view you. - This has led to lack of a transparency when soliciting feedback on performance as one week you're performing well and the next you're doing horrible. - There is a strong gossip culture across the team, almost to the point of bullying. This would escalate to personal insults as a former employee would constantly be brought up and mocked for their hobbies.
