Outstanding support form the account managers. > > **Cons**: Third party local providers - communication with them is difficult, not always straight-forward, limited. Support is rather poor (not in all countries though). ----- ### "Enabling Global Hires" — 4.0/5 > **Samantha** | *19 December 2024* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been in post as CPO for 11 months now, and I have been pleased with the service provided by Oyster, especially our Customer Success and Account Managers. Oyster are always on hand to provide advice, guidance and support, and this often extends to matters that might impact our own employees; they are a true partner. The platform is easy to navigate and integrates with our HR systems seamlessly. > > **Cons**: Whilst the country spread is good, there are some relationships that are tripartite i.e. Oyster use another provider in that country to hire the individual, which can delay comms. From a commerciality perspective, there are some circumstances whereby termination is justified, however, we have to factor in that the business case isn't justifiable as the individual is employed by Oyster, as opposed to ourselves. This means that mutual terminations are generally the only option to proceed with ending a relationship and there is additional cost. ----- ### "Review Oyster MB" — 3.0/5 > **matteo** | *13 January 2025* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The digital platform is very intuitive. The onboarding procedure was smooth. > > **Cons**: The benefits package offered is not in line with the normal jobs in the same country ----- ### "A service orientated platform" — 5.0/5 > **Ketna** | *12 December 2024* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The level of service really stands out compared to other players in the market. > > **Cons**: I'd love it to integrate with our current HRIS to enable one platform for all people managers. > > The Oyster team have really stepped up in terms of what I expect out of a partnership and service levels. The platform is easy to use from a UX lens and the UI is clear. Our employees and people leaders have positive feedback overall. ----- ### "Loving the switch made to oyster" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *17 January 2025* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use and everything being in one place > > **Cons**: Sometimes submitting expenses is unclear when categories aren't available > > I have had a great experience using oyster compared to our previous payroll/expense platform ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/438131/oyster?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/438131/oyster) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
