Pros

Great technology .NET 8, upgrading to microservices, using a great 3rd party tools, AI extension exists and helps us with development. Great people, Good events, Good benefits. Transpertancy regarding the salary ranges per position/location. Great IT equipments.

Cons

There is some work to be done in the old code base which is ugly sometimes. Managers are managers, they are not all leaders. Software engineers do some teach/ business research & sometimes manual testing, which can be uncomfortable for some.

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

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.
