## Description

BambooHR Chrome Extension brings essential HR tasks into your browser. Your company directory is available everywhere you go—view colleagues, call, email, or message with a tap, and quickly add someone’s info to your phone contacts. It also enables SAML-based single sign-on for secure, seamless access.

Plan and manage time off on the go: submit, review, and approve leave requests, see who’s out today, and track balances. With push notifications and optional TouchID or passcode protection, BambooHR keeps data secure while you stay productive.

## Review summary

User reviews are mixed. Many praise BambooHR for being easy to use and a centralized HR hub, but a large number of reviews highlight serious reliability and usability problems. Recurrent themes include login/authentication hurdles, slow performance, glitches and crashes, limited mobile functionality, and clock-in/out issues. Some users report the app helps with HR processes during transitions and onboarding, while others struggle with basic tasks. Overall, value is high when it works, but reliability issues hinder adoption.

### Pros

- Easy to use and quick to learn
- Informative and easy-to-read UI
- All-in-one HR hub (pay, requests, credentials)
- Helpful for accessing coworker contact info and emails
- Supports HR processes during company-wide transitions (onboarding)

### Cons

- Frequent login/authentication issues (verification codes failing)
- Slow performance and long loading times, especially on mobile
- Glitches, bugs, and occasional crashes/closures
- Poor mobile usability (feels like a web page; navigation is hard) and missing desktop-like features (1:1s, org chart)
- Time-tracking issues (clock in/out not working or hours not updating)
