Pros

It is pleasure to work in the Data Science team. Managers are very taking care on your life/work balance. It is not too much pressure - you can learn new things, contribute to OSS, attend conferences. They are not forcing to deliver fast all the time and you have enough time to think on options and deliver good quality solutions which was interesting to build. But the real gold is the atmosphere in the team. You can rely on your peers as well as managers trust the team. As the result our team is the one of the most performing in the company

Cons

No RSUs, 4 years laptop replacement policy. Mess in the management above the Data Science team. Too often a new managers come, unclear and different directions which is changing with each new manager

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.
