Pros

Good Pay, Flexible Work Environment, Good Developers (most)

Cons

SVP of Tech dictates roadmap People are leaving at an alarming rate, not just from product, but from UX and Sales They don't know how to hire good product people Promotions are based on how smart you make the SVP feel, if you play the game, you will fail upwards

Paylocity Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. The best product road maps are the result of a lot of input, debate and collaboration, and product managers synthesize it all into a coherent point of view. Our most successful teams have big dreams but start small and consistently deliver and adjust. I'd love your perspective directly on opportunities for advancement and our approach; if you would prefer, please connect with Rebekah. - 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

There used to be many. By the time I left all of the pros had been phased out. The only pro was allowing some people to stay remote- but if you wanted to advance in your career you would be forced back in office.

Cons

Low pay. Micromanaging. Hiring leadership from outside Paylocity and even outside of the industry. Major and extreme departmental changes rapidly. Change is a part of business but in six months my role became unrecognizable. I was there for five years and had planned to be there for much longer. This last year was terrible. Low communication from all leadership. Higher and higher expectations of employees with no bonuses or pay raises to accommodate. My regional director was forcing people out and speaking badly about employees regularly.
