Pros

DailyPay has a lot of really smart engineers, and a spirit of collaboration.

Cons

Management does not listen to their engineers. Roadmaps are always focused on more and more feature work, while tech debt and QOL improvements for devs are never addressed. Poorly handled layoffs and team reorgs happened multiple times while I worked there. I was there for 2 and a half years (during a portion of which there was a promotion freeze) and was holding down the backend of one of their products for about a year of that time (as a Software 1, mind you, with no senior to support). I was laid off on the first day of a vacation, when my manager was telling me he was putting me up for promotion the week before. Avoid unless you are okay with being yanked around on different projects with little to no tangible support and empty promises from the people who are supposed to advocate for you.

Pros

- Excellent product. - Lots of free clothes.

Cons

- A large chunk of the company has just been laid off at a company that retains its clients and hits its sales numbers. What went wrong? - Culture of packing calendars with meandering internal meetings with no agenda, preparation, actions or follow-ups. - Over-communication on Slack which leads to individuals lurching from one low-priority task to another. - No product innovation. - Needlessly expensive office which is 10% - 20% full on an average day. - Some semi-senior colleagues continue to fall upwards at the company.

Daily Layoff

Pros

The equity component has been valuable for those who joined early enough

Cons

- Constant cost-cutting and layoffs. They used to announce the layoff rounds but now they do it so frequently they can't keep up. Feels like it happens every 2 weeks - New org structure every quarter. This time its 4 new general managers they hired after laying off a bunch people because the org were "too bloated at the top" - Negative diversity. Everyone is a white tech/finance bro - Was a promising startup now overrun by soulless corporate vultures who are cutting everything for "operating efficiency". People used to be happy and collaborative and now are throwing each other under the bus to protect themselves, and toxic managers who don't have your back - Overworked ICs and no resources or people to do anything
