Pros

Really fantastic local team spirit, collaberation, work life balance. At times the employee perks were referred to as the golden handcuffs as they were so good (reduced working week, working from home, flexible hours) that nobody ever wanted to leave. This was a couple of years ago now, so is a little outdated. Opportunities for career progression were good and some of the most organised product owners and BAs I've had the pleasure of working with.

Cons

The application is a huge monolith and you will likely spend the vast majority of time adding to a well established framework, writing business logic in the back end and UIs. This does not really represent the expectations of modern software developers, where being a good developer involves everything from build pipelines, new libraries and packages, ORMs, cloud native, APIM and generally how web apps and apis actually hang together. The flagship product is also stuck on legacy versions of .NET and a Javascript framework that is not used by many others, which means as a developer you are really limited in what you can learn on the job to progress your own ability and remain employable.

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
