DailyPay reviews

-Level of reliance on this role did not align with compensation and title. -Broken processes made it near impossible for this role to function efficiently. -Lack of accountability for poor performance while competent employees were left to fill in gaps. -Very frustrating stalemates between departments in terms of project ownership. -Power imbalance strongly in favor of Sales leadership. -From a data perspective, it seemed near impossible to nail down basic KPIs and build accurate reporting. There was a refusal by many to move away from Google sheets and streamline data collection/processes. Because of that, reporting was rarely reflective of reality. Additionally, this role was expected to single handedly bridge an extremely wide gap between data engineering and non-technical roles.

There is no doubt DailyPay is fitting a need in the market. The current payroll system (typically operating on a bi-weekly schedule) can leave hourly or lower-income workers in a bind when sudden financial needs arise. However, examine the incentives of this kind of product...in order for DailyPay to make $, workers need to be cash poor. That statement may sound black and white, as I know they have other promoted products regarding savings, budgeting, etc. But they make money off of need. At least in their current state. Other cons include: - Not a start up culture, very finance/ investment banking culture given that is where a lot of the leadership started their careers - Competitive environment - Very 'in office' culture, not necessarily covid-conscious policies - Equity/ stock option plans are a black box, try to do your own research and ask good questions before accepting a job here
