Pros

• Interesting Product • High turnover leads to good network of ex-employees

Cons

Work life balance is nearly non-existent for some in Dev. There are many smart, borderline obsessive developers who don't need sleep and don't understand why you do. As previous reviews described Bullhorn has earned a reputation within the industry for treating people badly. People are completely disposable. They burn some people out and put up with too much bullying and nonsense that pushes others out. If you look through all these reviews, you'll see a cycle in which there are a number of reviews highlighting these issues, and then a batch of newbies who talk about the “great culture." Upper management turns a blind eye when people get screwed over, and then hire a new batch and get them to write reviews while they're still drinking the kool-aid. I think Bullhorn considers the excitement to be the "culture," but if your churning and burning employees instead of dealing with the factors that make people unhappy then *that's* your actual culture.

It sounds like you had a really bad experience and I'm truly sorry to hear that. I wanted to respond to your advice for management. You mentioned 360 reviews. We conduct 360 reviews for everyone who has direct reports every 6 months. My whole team is included in that process and we receive invaluable feedback. We also look very closely at our employee engagement scores, which we review every quarter. While we're not perfect, we still have very high employee engagement. That said, if there's a problem specific to a manager, or an office, we need to know. We've nearly doubled in the last 12 months, so it wouldn't surprise me at all to hear we've got a problem somewhere that needs attention. I'd really like to know what's driving your comments. Would you be willing to talk? My email is art at bullhorn dot com?

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
