Pros

Remote is the only perk of working for this company now

Cons

The company had went gradually downhill since 2024 with an almighty slump since Thoma Bravo acquired the company and within days, 5% cut to the workforce was announced. This is to be expected as they have 5-10% workforce cuts across the board around February/March annually. Condensed working week and flexible working options pulled. Office closed so no in-person collaboration available now, Social events, team building lunches, etc. all cut right down for 2 years now, bonuses and annual pay rises postponed. Bonus/Incentive scheme is revisited every quarter or so and now made to be deliberately ambiguous and unachievable. The Support model which took years to perfect scrapped overnight. All the teams in special/regional skillsets all put into larger multi-regional teams. No opportunities for progression in Tech in EMEA. All opportunities outsourced to Mauritius and North America. So many redundancies in Product, Development and QA in EMEA that the application is full of defects now. What was once a great company to work for, and who looked after and engaged their employees, is now a soulless shell of itself. C Suite are obsessed with implementing AI into everything like it's a magic wand and with any way they can make cuts. They will have bi-annual employee satisfaction surveys to get positive feedback then pull some form of perk/incentive afterwards. Company no longer not offer exit interviews or surveys upon termination so no longer seem to be interested in why they are losing long serving talented and committed employees.

Pros

Dayforce has a lot of great perks. They are a cutting-edge HCM company and are always innovating. They are 100% remote and are great with work-life balance. Pay and benefits are good, and I would put them slightly above average in both.

Cons

Work can be too siloed at times, and top-down plans are not always communicated as efficiently as they could be.

Pros

I was able to retire. After Dayforce, I was DONE.

Cons

I wouldn't be so quick to leave Paylocity, one disaster, for Dayforce. IF you have been there for 5+ years, you have a good territory. If you're new to the organization, expect uneven playing field and a "junior" quota. I was in HR sales for 30+ years, most of them in true Enterprise when I was hired as a mid-market rep with an unreasonably small patch. They won't tell you this in an interview so ask and then make the hiring manager provide documentation in the form of a territory listing as sadly, they're not honest and you're going to have to verify EVERYTHING you are told. Oh, and the new VP of sales is liked about as much as the last one, which is to say, not loved at all. B
