Pros

- Slightly above average compensation - Room to grow your career - Good office location for people travelling from outside the city

Cons

Things used to be better but after a heavy emphasis on growth, the culture that the company was founded on has been shattered. Any time you complain to management you would just hear "that's just the way it is". Not good enough! - Heavy corporate politics and finger pointing - Poor planning and long hours in response to it - Bad development practices - No unit/code testing at all. Since the application is so large, it's impossible to QA the entire thing before release and as a result maybe hotfixes per week are a regular thing - Shameful NPS scores CEO makes a big deal about going public but it's clear all he wants is his own pay day. David Ossip in three words: Me, Myself and I.

Pros

Dayforce has a lot of great perks. They are a cutting-edge HCM company and are always innovating. They are 100% remote and are great with work-life balance. Pay and benefits are good, and I would put them slightly above average in both.

Cons

Work can be too siloed at times, and top-down plans are not always communicated as efficiently as they could be.

Pros

I was able to retire. After Dayforce, I was DONE.

Cons

I wouldn't be so quick to leave Paylocity, one disaster, for Dayforce. IF you have been there for 5+ years, you have a good territory. If you're new to the organization, expect uneven playing field and a "junior" quota. I was in HR sales for 30+ years, most of them in true Enterprise when I was hired as a mid-market rep with an unreasonably small patch. They won't tell you this in an interview so ask and then make the hiring manager provide documentation in the form of a territory listing as sadly, they're not honest and you're going to have to verify EVERYTHING you are told. Oh, and the new VP of sales is liked about as much as the last one, which is to say, not loved at all. B
