### "Personal Experience Review with Assembly."

January 16, 2026

5.0

Assembly has been very great so far, looking forward in getting the most out of this great site in recognizing colleagues/team members hard work.

Pros

Very easy to use and quick access to reward points/redemptions. Assembly gives you value for many and has variety of gift options.

Cons

So far, I have not encountered anything I dislike about using this product. Ease of use was top-notch

### "Assembly Enables Instant Recognition and Flexible Redemption for Employee Contributions"

January 29, 2026

5.0

Assembly has significantly improved the way people show recognition within the company. Now you can attach a small monetary tip to really drive home how someone has helped you. It's nice to apply our internal values to the kudos, add emotes/gifs and messages. I also love being able to react to colleague's recognitions as well. It perks up anyone who receives a notification from Assembly. Especially the fact that redeeming the cards is instantaneous with a great variation on how you can redeem.

Pros

The redemption process is so foolproof and easy to use. Workflows are easy to set up for people to participate in and are awarded at random for participation. It's extremely easy to use for anyone from a seasoned corporate user to someone in the field. Customer Service is easy to work with if you run into flow issues.

Cons

Travel redemption is still lacking. It would be nice to book flights separately without a hotel or car.

There are various gift cards options, and all the communication is visible, so it is an easy way to show achievements.

It gives visibility to our achievements and helps us show appreciation to our colleagues with cute GIFs as well.

### "Assembly: A great place to get recognized"

September 5, 2025

5.0

I have been using Assembly for about 2 years, and the best is the sharing of employee performance as a reward, and gift cards are really valuable for money. File sharing, I am not aware of so far; however, the learning curve that we can have with Dora AI is phenomenal. Overall, I am having a great time using Assembly.

Pros

The best part of using Assembly is recognizing our fellow workers, and at the same time, we are also getting recognized. There are also different gift cards that we can redeem once the points are provided. It's always great to receive points as rewards and also be recognized. Overall, I found it to be the best platform.

Cons

The least I like about Assembly is the customer support, which I feel can be much better. Since the feedback is always appreciated, I would recommend the team to be more active in instances for providing speedy resolution.

### "We love assembly! "

September 4, 2025

5.0

We've had a great experience! The team is helpful and quick to respond to any questions. The rewards are easy to customize and overall is well utilized.

Pros

Assembly has been a great tool for our company! We are able to link employees from separate departments and encourage team members to send shout outs across different teams. Everyone on the team loves receiving rewards.

Cons

Any major dislikes have been easily resolved by support. We have yet to come across any outages or performance issues.

### "Assembly- Great way to recognize your employees!"

September 24, 2025

5.0

Overall, my experience with Assembly has been excellent. Once it’s set up, it really does what it promises — it makes recognition visible, engaging, and meaningful. It’s helped boost morale and create a stronger sense of connection across my team. I’d definitely recommend it to any organization that wants to build a culture of appreciation.

Pros

What I liked most about Assembly is how easy it makes recognition and rewards for my team. The platform is really intuitive, with a clean design that makes giving and receiving “shout-outs” fun. The flexibility to customize recognition programs and the wide variety of reward options are big pluses.

Cons

The only downside is that with so many features, it can take a little time to learn and set everything up the way you want. It’s not difficult, but there’s a bit of a learning curve if you want to take advantage of the more advanced options.

### "Best way to reward your employees! "

September 5, 2025

5.0

It's a wonderful way to celebrate and appreciate your coworkers for their hard work, leadership, and teamwork. I'm not in charge of the installation, but my colleague mentioned that it was very easy to install, and the support was quick and efficient.

Pros

It's really simple to use, love the gift cards we can get, and I always look forward to earning rewards!

Cons

It would be wonderful to have more reward options, especially tailored for my country. It would really mean a lot to see more choices that suit us. Thank you for considering this!

### "Assembly for the Win!"

September 3, 2025

5.0

Overall my company has loved using Assembly. This company allows my company to give out points and recognize each other in a fun and meaningful way.

Pros

Assembly is the easiest product to navigate. A product like Assembly should be easy to navigate as it is meant to be fun and quick.

Cons

I really cannot think of many cons. If I had to pick one I would say that their mobile app specifically for Iphone could use some work. It requires me to sign back in every time I open it. It also is a bit confusing to navigate vs desktop.

### "A company that delivers on their value proposition"

September 10, 2025

5.0

Overall, I would highly recommend assembly. Out of all of my years in working in tech it is the one software that has actually driven results to improve employee engagement.

Pros

Lots of companies and softwares claim to help drive employee appreciation and incentives, but Assembly delivers. Not only is Assembly simple to use as far as redeeming rewards and earning then, but the integrations they have also make it seemless to implement into your employees workflow

Cons

My only con would be to have a better way to filter for employees and have those stay. For example, my company is global so US employees see rewards that are only for employees in other countries.

### "Best tool to gamify employee recognition"

November 7, 2025

5.0

The overall experience was great. It simplified the whole process of employee recognition. Even the whole redemption process is so simple and efficient and most importantly, secure. You're able to check the history of your redeems, which makes it more secure.

Pros

It's a great solution for employee recognition. It simplifies and gamifies the whole process into a great game of recognition for everyone.

Cons

There's nothing much to dislike. But you can't send recognition without any text, which is something that can be improved.

### "Assembly is a great addition to our workplace! "

September 2, 2025

5.0

I have had nothing but positive experiences with Assembly. I think it is a great addition to our workplace and makes it more fun and interactive. Rather than sending out an email or an instant message to give someone recognition or wish them a happy birthday, Assembly makes it seem more personal.

Pros

I like that it provides a fun way to interact with my co-workers, celebrate milestones, and give recognition.

Cons

I wish there were more prize options as it seems to take a while to earn enough coins to redeem for something, but this likely is set by our company and nothing that Assembly controls.

### "Best for Recognition and Easy Redemption Process"

September 2, 2025

5.0

Overall experience has been seamless. I have always been able to redeem my gift cards successfully. Early on, there were a few niggles related to Gift Card availability, but these were fixed on the vendor's end later, as informed by their support team. Since then, they have added way more Gift Card options to choose from.

Pros

Assembly has been smooth to use since the start, recognition has always been easy, and all options provided are clear to follow.

Cons

The mobile interface is a bit laggy; reading notifications and recognizing is always a little time-consuming, not sure if it's because of the web app. But all the options always work as intended.

### "Assembly Is A Great Tool"

November 11, 2025

5.0

I enjoyed using Assembly to give and receive recognition of a job well done. It allowed me to show creativity and align the compliments to company values. The platform was user friendly and cashing in for gift cards was easy. I'd recommend Assembly to others.

Pros

Assembly is a great tool for rewarding employees. It is easy and fun to use. The option to cash in for gift cards or to donate to a charity is a nice option.

Cons

As a user, I had trouble locating the Log Out button. I really didn't have any other issues or concerns.

I love it! Our company engages a ton! It is easy to use and takes very little time to learn the program.

Pros

Love being able to quickly give kudos to co-workers and encouraging people to help each other. I like that you can cash in for awards easily and quickly and get swag or even a bank deposit!

Cons

more swag choices would be nice to have or better quality. I haven't utilized mnay of the other features yet.

### "Great Employee Recognition Software"

October 2, 2025

5.0

Assembly is a great app for recognizing your fellow employees. Whether you are in it for the rewards or just to pat your team member on the back, Assembly will help you do just that.

Pros

I like the different categories of rewards you can exchange for, such as gift cards to many restaurants and services.

Cons

The AI draft assistant often doesn't meet my expectations. The interface is somewhat lackluster as well.

I think it's brought our Lurn family even closer to one another. You can't go wrong with Assembly! Love giving and receiving points.

Pros

What it's designed for, to recognize our peers, management, co-workers from other departments, etc. It's so much fun to give points!!

Cons

We have it set up so that the feed is displaying in slack, however you had to sign onto Assembly in order to give someone points and for 2-3 months in a row I couldn't figure out how to sign on, it wanted some weird email that wasn't an email. This month I must have clicked on the right link because it brought me into Assembly and I was able to give out some points this month.

### "Such a beautiful thing to have at work"

November 12, 2021

5.0

Really great, I love this platform and think it's a wonderful idea. I wish our leadership had been more involved in it.

Pros

This has been my favorite thing about my company since I started! It's given such a beautiful, meaningful way for employees to recognize each other in a way that doesn't feel kitschy or brown-nosey. It's a really nice way to just say "thanks for being great" that isn't expensive but is eventually rewarding.

Cons

It was mildly annoying that it accidentally posts for you sometimes without points when you mean to add points.

### "Best Employee/Peer Recognition Software Ever!!!!"

February 7, 2020

5.0

As an overall experience, this platform has allowed not only myself, but other employees to celebrate the small things. Whether it be helping someone out with the printer or someone covering for me while I'm out on PTO, this platform allows me to thank employees in such a cool/innovate way. The platform allows for those that receive carrots to redeem them for something of their choosing - which I think is great. This platform has opened up such a wide range of cross-team communication - it's great!

Pros

What I love about this software is how it allows you praise any employee in your company for doing a great job, helping you with a big/little task, and having the ability to redeem your carrots for prizes! The platform is extremely user-friendly and I love how you can tag different badges to each recognition that you send out! Also love the options of retailers that you can redeem your rewarded carrots. It's like an employee to employee bonus structure, without having an actual bonus structure!

Cons

Nothing - I seriously love everything about it. I tell all of my friends outside of work that they should try to implement this platform within their own workplace

June 18, 2021

4.0

Overall, Assembly does its job and brings an extremely strong concept to life. Very glad to have this useful tool

Pros

The concept of Assembly is so strong and useful that it outweighs some drawbacks. An extremely easy and meaningful tool for managing teams and empowering recognition at all levels

Cons

The interface is a little confusing, especially for a fairly straightforward tool. The recognitions don't allow for extensive visual personalization to make it fun like other platforms I've tried
