This decision was made thoughtfully, recognizing that in-person collaboration plays a critical role in strengthening team connections, improving client experiences, and supporting career development.

Pros

Some of us still have work from home opportunities (which is slowly being taken away). The benefits and pay are good when you consider the tradeoff for work from home.

Cons

Many have recently reviewed and i'll repeat that we are a culture in decline and a product that is motionless. We work on a HCM that does not scale and working in product management here is cannibalistic, not collaborative to work across teams to get dependencies taken care of. We focus more on our own individual product versus customer outcomes, which results in the fragmentation and disconnects that are visible to clients. The favoritism at the leadership level is real with many tenured at the top dictating roadmaps and process behind closed doors. Their way of instituting improvements is adding processes versus optimization efforts. It's no wonder PMs cannot focus on delivering good products and customer outcomes when we're scribing all day for powerpoint decks that are cursory checks for leaders to check the box on knowing what we're working on. Culturally we're in decline. So many reductions in partner teams or sudden terminations make this a fearsome place to work rather than being able to focus on delivering customer impact. The once great culture that attracted me here has gone, and with our new CEO appointment, it's not a coincidence we've turned sour so quickly. Forced attrition is far cheaper and better received on wall street, which makes him look great in the short term. It's a shame we're becoming PayCom Jr.
