About Oyster
Oyster is a comprehensive platform that simplifies the process of hiring, paying, and caring for talent. With Oyster, businesses can expand their operations globally without the need to establish a physical presence in each country or navigate complex local employment regulations.
A standout feature of Oyster is its ability to help businesses hire and onboard employees compliantly in different countries. By leveraging Oyster's platform, businesses can streamline the hiring process and ensure compliance with local labor laws and regulations. This eliminates the need for setting up a business entity in each country, saving time, resources, and administrative burdens.
Oyster also provides businesses with a single automated platform to handle all employment functions. From payroll and benefits administration to time tracking and contract management, businesses can manage every aspect of their global workforce from one centralized platform. This automation significantly reduces manual errors and administrative overhead, allowing businesses to focus on strategic initiatives rather than repetitive administrative tasks.

I think Oyster is still young and there is a LOT of room for growth, most of our struggles tie to support not "Supporting" or a feature/need we have that is not quite there yet. BUT that being said we stick with them because our Service team is phenomenal and you can see they are working to being where we need them to be.
Pros
We came to Oyster with a heap of issues with international set up outside the US where we are headquartered. Oyster was a great option to not only address our employees we moved all our contractors over as well. The number one thing about Oyster is the Customer Service teams, Our Account Manger [sensitive content hidden] went ABOVE and beyond to help during set up, and we have had 2 CSMs that are beyond incredible. All the kudos to [sensitive content hidden], WE LOVE YOU!!!
Cons
Generic support is lacking, most of the time I have to involve my CSM which is hard on me and unfair to them. Especially when it seems like a simple ask, this can cause frustration as the pace can be slower than it feels like it should be.
Reasons for Choosing Oyster
I am not sure it is siting the correct vendor as who we swapped from. But we left the EOR Remote.com as we had a very hard time with compliance, their billing practices, and being given often incorrect information that led to costly issues.Switched From
Remote UtilitiesReasons for Switching to Oyster
The human element was much better with Oyster. We like to base our vendor relationships with humans who have products we like, made by Humans that are enjoyable to work with.- Industry: Insurance

Pros
Nothing I can mention which I like about oyster.
Cons
They overpromise and under deliver. They claim to onboard people globally. APAC region they work with multiple sub vendors.. which create lot of issue. They don’t have local presence. For APAC region better use other platforms. Oyster not doing well at all.

It makes it easy to be hired across countries. They are always ready to answer any of your questions regarding any topic about contracts, local laws, and everything. Definitely worth it to give it a try.
Cons
At the moment there is nothing to make me feel uncomfortable with them. They just make life easy on my work.
