      Pros

      Here's the key to getting promoted here in a product role: Suck up Go to meetings, act like you know what you're talking about Start talking about "all the customers you've talked to" Pull up random metrics in meetings and talk about how you got this from customers Say that customers love this idea Repeat over and over for about 6-12 months In meetings, say you learned a lot from all your failures Go to meetings, tell people about your failure and things you probably learned Celebrate your failures Repeat, repeat, repeat You dont need a strategy, actually need to talk to any customers or need to be successful Oh and make sure you let people know you're agile theres no product strategy, but that doesnt matter

      Cons

      it'll probably take a bit of time, but for some it can be 6-8 months

      I'm sorry your time at Paylocity did not work out and hope you have found a better fit. The key to getting promoted in a product role at Paylocity is to work exceptionally well with a small team to deliver against unmet customer needs again and again and again. Taking ownership, having a well-formed point of view and the curiosity and humility to test it repeatedly in the name of serving our customers are key indicators for us. It is definitely not an easy job but one of the most important roles we have. -- Ted

      Pros

      Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

      Cons

      Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

      Pros

      The pay is decent compared to the market and the tech is solid.

      Cons

      The company is abandoning their strategy of "partner first" and is doing their best to become a worse version of Paychex/ADP... Every decision that comes from the top seems so disconnected with reality. Turnover is a huge problem. In just 12 months I've had turnover in my director, channel partner managers, channel support, partner services, RVP, SDR, and more. It's impossible to get anything done when every position around you is a revolving door. Everyone I speak with across lines of business has a similar story. It is a mess across the entire org.
