Pros

Competitive pay, including stock options. Comprehensive employee orientation. A culture of using the company’s products. An engaged marketing social committee.

Cons

A total bait and switch. I was hired after being thoroughly vetted with 2 assessments and 5 interview rounds. Then a few months in, my job requirements changed unofficially (I was never given an updated job description outlining expectations for new areas of learning). In fact, during my time at Paylocity, I was never given any personal development goals. I was just expected to upskill without knowing what to focus on. Despite the changing requirements, my management team denied any requests for additional training so I could perform in my job. I was also routinely excluded from meetings necessary for me to do my job (meetings where stakeholders would discuss marketing performance). A meeting with HR was unable to provide with a long term solution and next steps. Senior leaders change their priorities on a daily basis, without effectively communicating them, leading to a culture focused more on putting out fires than managing fire drills, or even proactive planning for the future. It is a purely reactionary culture where coworkers are pitted against each other. This culture all stems from the top of the department, from a executive “leader” with poor vision and even poorer interpersonal skills (they would not even acknowledge me or say hello to me).

Pros

Healthy financials Seasoned at remote workplace Great for roles outside of product

Cons

- Too many products - Getting disrupted by Startups and not increasing investment - Many product people just took $20k-$50k pay cuts despite the company posting record growth and profits. Also the way these changes were rolled out was extremely deceptive with managers not knowing about the pay cuts until the day we needed to share them.

Pros

Nothing -- I wish I had positive things to say, but don't

Cons

Below market comp Removing bonuses Decreasing RSUs Rachit, our CTO talks a big game about paying "high growth SaaS salaries", but doesn't back up any of his talking points with meaningful changes with HR.
