Pros

Work with a lot of smart, experienced people. Work remotely. The pay is decent.

Cons

* Management hierarchy is too vertical. * Permissions-restricted Lenovo computers for developers, (under-powered and restricted access to system resources and functionality). * Core product code-base is a house of cards: fragile, difficult to maintain, scales poorly. * Teams are highly silo-ed, resulting in redundant code. * I think Paylocity is poorly positioned to compete in the human capital management market in the near term. Their software offerings aren't cohesive and the inertia of technical-debt makes it hard to make meaningful additions or changes quickly.

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

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.
