Culture is a big reason why people join and stay with Paylocity. Our culture allows us to sustain hypergrowth by empowering our teams to move faster. With that growth comes the need to leverage the economies of scale as a larger organization. We believe that a set of shared engineering principles help us invest and grow in new ways while remaining true to those principles. It is also our belief that a standard set of engineering principles give us a common framework that is transparent to our teams and guide us as we make investment decisions.
Our conversations about new technologies, approaches, patterns, or features are grounded in a similar set of underlying principles that we all understand and constantly aspire to. These engineering principles are the foundation for our Product and Technology core values and an extension of our company-wide values At Paylocity, we share five overarching values across the company:
We also have core values for our Product and Technology organization that help us deliver on meeting our customers’ unmet needs: Accountable Ownership, Unmitigated Curiosity, Relentless Delivery, Holistic, Inclusive Design, and Empowered Teams.
From our company values and Product and Technology values, we derived our engineering principles that drive us, and we constantly aspire to fulfill.
Extreme ownership, Simplify, Be curious
Growth mindset, Open to change, Success and scale
Constructively dissatisfied, Data-driven action, Question everything
Integrity, Highest quality standards
Autonomous teams, Bar raiser, Hire and develop the best talent, People first
Thank you to my fellow Paylocity leaders and other team members for helping lay the foundation of these engineering principles.
