What do you like best about Sequoia One?

There's not a ton that I like about them. Our current rep is great and nice and knowledgeable and I really like her, but I just find the breath of their services. The products are way behind times the use of data for the HRIS is just not good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequoia One?

The breath of services is lacking the tools and technologies they have are less than adequate and they just don't have a great dashboard whatsoever Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sequoia One solving and how is that benefiting you?

We scaled from a start up to accompany that's around 300 employees and I think it just served a purpose but there's just so many better PEO that I'm very knowledgeable of but this time it's very hard to switch because we're in so deep with them having 300 employees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Amber DeFabio of Sequoia One

What do you like best about Sequoia One?

Sequoia One enables payroll and HR assignments to be offloaded from me, thus allowing me to focus on more important tasks. However, that saved me the trouble as their team catered for all the things from taxes, to administering benefits, thus I was able to concentrate and steer the operations of my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequoia One?

I have sometimes encountered problems with payroll, when the funds are not available on time. It resulted in a couple of mistakes and caused some confusion and frustration with my employees. Furthermore, I had to write some additional emails to get things straightened out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sequoia One solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am certain that I have turned to the right place in hiring Seqnui The One, a company staffed by experts to handle my HR and payroll issues. This way I have more time to pay for my business rather than be concerned about compliance and administrative tasks. But the lack of regular pay checks is a consideration, I am afraid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Amber DeFabio of Sequoia One

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, Adriana. We're ecstatic to hear that Sequoia One is allowing you to focus on business operations by handling your HR.

Our goal is to always come through for our clients and if we're not meeting your needs 100% of the time, we want to take active steps toward fixing that. We'd love to dive into the issues you're facing with your payroll. Please contact us at contactus@sequoia.com so we can troubleshoot why your pay checks weren't distributed consistently.

What do you like best about Sequoia One?

Our reps are extremely responsive, usually within a couple hours even though the SLA is 24hrs. They answer everything from how to retrieve certain reports to making sure our taxes are filed across all our states properly. It's really easy to get up and running and doesn't require ongoing maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequoia One?

Their transition from Prism to their new software systems is slow (as expected) and so splitting time between the old app and the new one is a bit annoying but everything works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sequoia One solving and how is that benefiting you?

Multistate compliance is near impossible as a small company with no space for full time staff to handle that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Amber DeFabio of Sequoia One

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, Josiah! We are so glad you've had a great experience with Sequoia One. Our goal is to always come through for our clients, and it's wonderful to know we've been hitting the mark.

What do you like best about Sequoia One?

I have worked with several PEOs over the years, and have found Sequoia to be the most reliable, user-friendly, and consistent. Their client service team is knowledgeable, quick to respond, and very helpful. We've never encountered errors in managing payroll, leaves of absence, etc, and their website is easy for our employees to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequoia One?

I have no complaints, we haven't had any problems with their service or their systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sequoia One solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a small, growing orgranization, and Sequoia allows us to have a full benefits offering, and manages the parts of HR that would otherwise require us to have a full team in place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Amber DeFabio of Sequoia One

What do you like best about Sequoia One?

There are many aspects:

1. cheaper insurance rate

2. Comprehensive service such as 401K, so we don't have to deal with another vendor

3. Payroll service that is easy to use

4. The HR service, so we don't have worry about not compliant with the regulations

Tabitha Harden and her continuous commitment to helping us week after week. She's gone above and beyond helping us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequoia One?

The system is very old. The interface is just very frustrating to use. To pull a report I need to go through many steps and it doesn't save so each month I need to redo the same steps, which is a poor experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sequoia One solving and how is that benefiting you?

HR compliance and core HR Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sequoia One?

Sequoia is great at inquiries, payroll processing and taxes. They are limited with taxes and slow to respond on tax inquiries. This is a great company if you are an early state startup or very small company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sequoia One?

Reporting limitations, slow to respond on some payroll inquiries, no access to view W2's because they are the EOR. They do not share a lot about what they are doing on the backend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sequoia One solving and how is that benefiting you?

They did not solve any problems. They are beneficial because they do everything for you in regards to payroll/payments and taxation. When your company grows , it is time to look elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
