Pros

• I loved my team – my manager was very hands-off, and there was a lot of psychological safety within the team. • The health insurance was affordable. • Unlimited PTO (sort of – see Cons) • I met people whom I still talk to outside of work to this day.

Cons

• The obsession with the "path to a billion". Once that started, the culture that set Bullhorn apart slowly began to vanish. • The pay is low. I left for a position with a lower title and less responsibility, but the starting salary was 11.5% higher than my salary at BH. • I wound up on some list about taking "excessive" PTO. I was a 10/10 employee and got the highest marks for multiple years in a row. If my PTO was not negatively affecting my work quality and my team, then it shouldn't have been an issue. And if it bothers the company so much, then frontload a set amount of PTO. But that's not as appealing to prospects, and then they'd have to pay out unused time.

Thanks for taking a few minutes to leave a review of your time here. I'm happy to see that you met lifelong contacts/friends here, that you took advantage of our terrific benefit plans, and most important, that you had an environment that you could do your best work! I also appreciate your feedback on areas that didn't meet your expectations. I do want to comment on the PTO piece. Every year, mid way through the year, we run a report to check in on PTO with a number of lenses - who is tracking it or not, who hasn't taken very much at all, and who has some high amounts YTD. It's not just looking for abuse, but to flag issues (employees with personal issues we didn't know about that HR can better support), folks not taking enough time off, management not monitoring or tracking, etc. I'm not sure how this was worded back to you, but it sounds like the message got lost in translation. An employee who has taken an extreme amount of time off half way through the year, and who is still performing exceptionally in their job is not the issue - to me, that's a management issue - like does this person have the right goals? Are they in the wrong role? Could they be adding value in another role/promotion/etc? The intent is not punative, it's to be sure that our managers are managing their teams and their workloads appropriately - on both sides. It appears it came off otherwise to you. If you ever want to connect - you know where to find me. :) I wish you the best of success in your new role!! - Kelley Morse, CPO

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

Pros

Approachable leadership that leads by example Excellent managers Top notch culture and people Flexible and remote work options Great work/life balance Unlimited PTO Solid health benefits + 401K Mentorship program Always evolving - keeps you on your toes Constant learning opportunities

Cons

Always evolving can also be a con - while I personally thrive in this setting, the constant change can (and has been) not ideal for some, especially in the last few years.

This is an incredibly thoughtful review. What sticks with me is the part on seasons and living through each of them. Getting through winter makes the summer feel just that much better, and while you're toughing it out, the relationships only deepen in times of challenge. It's a really good analogy. Thanks for giving me a few to mull on this morning. Hope you continue to love it here, thrive here through all the seasons ahead! - Kelley Morse, CPO
