The application is great and support has met expectations. > > My company purchased the survey module from Culture Amp last year. We looked at 10 or so other vendors, 2 of them making it to the final round, and Culture Amp being our final choice due to the experience we had during the sales process, the great UI, and and the support offered by their company. We've been happy with the tool after running one large company-wide survey and a couple of smaller ones. Culture Amp works hard to make sure employee data is kept confidential. ----- ### "Not built to scale with you" — 1.0/5 > **Michelle** | *06 August 2024* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: At first Culture Amp was very customer-centric and committed to building a performance platform that would scale as you did. We have used Culture Amp for years and in the beginning, it was a fantastic product. If you are under 100 employees, have no growth anticipated, and do not need a robust performance management solution they could still be a good fit. > > **Cons**: As our headcount has grown Cuture Amp has become increasingly challenging to utilize. We continue to encounter blockers, and despite feedback and requests for support, there is little Culture Amp can or will do to assist. Our business has scaled from 100 to over 400 employees in the last three years - this is not a product that can support that level of growth.  When it comes to our blockers, most notably the lack of adaptability across this product has been incredibly frustrating and a complete miss when it comes to what users are trying to achieve. For example, to support a 360 review you are required to build and manage two separate reviews (Peer + Upward \& Self Reflection) and run them concurrently. Not only is this twice the setup and work to manage, but the reviews are disconnected with different UI, settings, and requirements. This duplicative work has led to administrative hurdles and a disjointed user experience. Furthermore, the necessity to reopen the entire review period to accommodate a single individual extension is ridiculous. As a result, this has led to many extra hours and a source of confusion across our organization as due dates are changed within the platform for everyone - instead of just one employee. How there is no customization when it comes to due dates for reviews at an individual level is unfathomable - and an administrative nightmare if you have more than a handful of employees. If you're looking for meaningful visualization or data analysis of performance results then this is likely not the product for you. For example, we wanted to adopt a 9-box or talent grid model. Despite being assured that this would not be an issue, after reviewing the provided documentation, it has become evident that Culture Amp is not equipped to support this functionality at all. Rather they suggested workarounds that would impose a substantial burden on our team. Their proposal was to not use their product and instead have us build the grid ourselves entirely outside of the platform manually. It's clear that Culture Amp is not built to support these more complex features - but that they also do not see an issue in upselling when the tooling is not truly supported. > > It is apparent that Culture Amp is not able to deliver the necessary workflows, tooling, and reporting to align with the requirements of a business of any large scale. Despite our efforts to raise concerns, and the limited resolutions to our challenges, it feels as though the only true solutions we have been offered is to "wait" for future changes or to compromise our performance initiatives to fit what is available. What we need today, is for Culture Amp to be the customer-centric partner we first signed up with. The partner who understands their market fit and who develops products that fulfill their customer's needs, without attempting to compel customers to use their products in unintended ways merely to secure additional contracts. Despite all attempts, Culture Amp has declined to be responsive to our needs and will not support a reasonable transition out of the software, regardless of their ability to support our performance tooling needs. I would caution against using Culture Amp if you have more than 100 employees or any anticipated growth. They are not the business they once were when it comes to knowing and supporting their customers and are more concerned about getting a deal signed than actually making sure their product is the right fit for your business. ----- ### "Culture Amp is great with people sciences, but the tool itself is terrible" — 1.0/5 > **Patty** | *06 August 2024* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Not good for large scale and high growth organizations. Their integration with Rippling is a joke and leads to terrible data and duplicative profiles. Very buggy -- when you run performance cycles the UX is different for self reflection vs performance. It means you have to manually update and edit everything. Also, they don't have on demand customer service -- just the chat bot, so if you need anything more complex.. like talent grids or ways to review calibration modules, you have to contact your CS team and in our experience their solutions are super limited. Mostly they tell you to just download the CSV and then manually create reporting or detailed info outside of the system. Not great. > > **Cons**: UX is terrible -- it is not user friendly at all. > > Not helpful with more strategic initiatives. ----- ### "Excellent tool for annual engagement" — 5.0/5 > **Emily** | *10 March 2025* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The fact it summaries answers from employee engagement surveys into themes (this has saved us lots of time\!) > > **Cons**: Doesn't always sync perfectly to our employee list, so we are reminding people about surveys on our intranet and very occasionally a new starter hasn't been included (as lists haven't synced) > > Really positive. The engagement/survey side has been most used by our business. We are still encouraging employees to use the 1-2-1 functions more as not everyone has adopted them. ----- ### "Great for gaining feedback" — 4.0/5 > **Tomi** | *09 May 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Culture Amp makes it easy to roll out company wide and department surveys. The software is very intuitive and they offer great support > > **Cons**: The manual import process can take some time when adding new employees, however, Culture Amp does give you the option to import new users in multiple ways. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/154170/employee-effectiveness?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/154170/employee-effectiveness) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
