Pros

Bullhorn has genuinely great people. The culture at the team level is collaborative, supportive, and full of smart, capable individuals who care about doing good work. The product itself is strong in many areas and continues to provide real value to clients.

Cons

Compensation is increasingly out of step with both the market and the expectations placed on employees. Annual raises and promotion increases fail to keep pace with inflation or market rates, making it difficult to view long-term growth as sustainable. Recent organizational changes have also led to a loss of institutional knowledge in key areas. As experienced leaders and long-tenured employees exit, gaps in product understanding and historical context are becoming more noticeable, impacting both execution and decision-making. There is also a largely unspoken expectation of extended hours and unpaid overtime to meet performance goals, which contributes to ongoing burnout. While layoffs may have aligned the business to current needs, they were implemented in a way that left gaps in both expertise and delivery capacity, placing additional strain on remaining team members.

Hi - I cannot tell you we care about our employees, (we definitely do), I can only show our employees through our actions. And clearly, we're missing that mark for you. I can't tell what function you are in based on your review, but I would love to meet confidentially so I can understand more. Non salaried roles cannot work unpaid overtime, so if that's happening somewhere, I will address it for sure. I'd love to meet and since you're an employee, please grab time on my calendar! Let's work together here! - 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.

The headline says it all for me! I'm so glad you're having such a positive experience here, and appreciate your advice about the remote first environment. We have some virtual events coming up in September, and I'll hope you're take part in them! Let's keep raising the bar together! - 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
