Pros

The software development team is one of the smartest, most technically savy development teams I've ever seen. We use the latest technologies and collaborate really well. The Software Engineering department is a first-class citizen with major senior leadership support. Tools and technologies that developers need are purchased without management nickle and dime-ing licenses. The new Agile model is working really well, and developers feel invested in the products they produce.

Cons

Still a lot of legacy code and technical debt - but we are working to alleviate it, and most development is done using newer technology stacks.

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.
