Pros
I joined Paylocity in 2023 to build and lead a new engineering team in Prague and have since grown into a Senior Manager, Engineering role. What stands out to me most is the people culture. I have had managers who genuinely care, give clear feedback, and create space to grow. There are real opportunities for ownership. As an engineering leader I have been trusted with important products in Core HR and supported when taking on more scope. When you show consistent impact, that effort is noticed. Collaboration across product, engineering, and HR has been positive. I have worked with leaders who listen, are open to pushback, and try hard to align on outcomes instead of politics. For the Prague office specifically, there is a healthy work life balance, flexibility, and a strong local HR partner who truly helps people navigate both work and relocation topics.
Cons
Paylocity is growing fast, and that brings change. Priorities can shift and cross team dependencies sometimes take effort to untangle. Different groups move at different levels of maturity in process and engineering practices, so your experience can vary by team and manager. Because of the US and EU time zones, some roles require evening meetings, which can be tiring if not managed well.
