Pros

The company was amazing to work for prior to Covid. There was was a ton of growth opportunities but there isn’t much now per our career portal. Benefits are great. PTO policy is good.

Cons

MANAGEMENT! Managers and directors seem to be promoted prematurely and not good leaders. The Sales team is notorious for displaying toxic behavior to other departments. Pay! I’ve referred qualified candidate whom declined offers due to the low pay. Toxic behavior from management and up is tolerated due to titles. Employees are burnt out. This is a company I would have recommended 10 times over; not anymore. The core values they drill in us do not apply to leadership. We have eNPS and the negative responses are glazed over because they say “they only represent a small number”. That small number does A LOT for this company yet our thoughts and feelings are invalid. They also claim to be promoters for working parents; that’s false (seems to only apply to the “elite” club). Employees have been asked to put their children in daycare. Employees are quiet quitting and resigning without opportunities lined up

There is a lot to absorb in this review. We are 1600+ people now, and when we look at the eNPS or survey results, we don’t skim over any of the “negative” but instead, put into context to the overall results. No one’s feelings are invalid here. In fact, at every town hall, I encourage any employee to come and talk to me if they are struggling or are challenged with leadership/work loads/etc or want to share some feedback. This opportunity would also extend to you, if you chose to have a conversation about your challenges. At the end of the day, it’s impossible to make everyone 100% happy. There are people that Bullhorn is a great fit for, and there are people that find happiness and fulfillment in other types of working environments. It sounds like while Bullhorn was once a great fit for you, it no longer is, and I would encourage you to look for another job. Life is too important and too short to be miserable at work. My offer always stands and my calendar is open if you want to grab time to discuss. – Kelley Morse, Chief People Officer.

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
