      Get paid for not doing anything, have your ideas ignored - Senior Software Engineer Paylocity Employee Review

      Pros

      Remote. Absurdly high salary. Post a comment to the stand-up thread in the morning and that's you done for the day.

      Cons

      People around you are there for the benefits, so don't expect enthusiasm or professionalism. Everyone is a Senior Software Engineer—even people who absolutely aren't. If you have a good idea, your manager will tell you it's a bad idea, and six months later he will present the same idea to others as his own. Your tech lead will use the project you're working on to pave his career path, forcing his ideas down your throat, even though the entire team thinks his ideas are bad.

      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

      Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

      Cons

      Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
