What users say

Pros

  • Developer Agent builds extend apps, agents and orchestrations from natural-language prompts in the UI or a command line.
  • The delivered compensation review dashboard keeps every report for a review cycle in one place.
  • Custom API and query integrations respected time-off eligibility rules in testing and answered data questions that normally take an hour of report building.
  • Deployment Agent answers questions about system areas an admin has not worked in before and passed several early test cases.

Cons

  • Resume upload fills in phone, education and work history wrongly, so the whole application gets retyped by hand.
  • Each hiring company runs its own tenant, so a separate login is needed for every employer and password lists keep growing.
  • The AI assistant answered the first questions with hallucinations and returned incorrect information on calculated fields.
  • Native agents are information-only for areas like payroll and push extra SKU purchases such as Prism before analysis works.
  • End-to-end payroll lacks 941 and W-2 files, and leave balances can display as negative despite sufficient entitlement.
  • The application form jumps back to the bottom while typing and can wipe entries already filled in.
