Pros

Pay is decent. Relaxed dress code in Alpharetta office in technology.

Cons

Onboarding experience is substandard. They basically bring you on, hand you a computer, and tell you to work on one of their many legacy applications. Nobody really checks on you. There is no diversity in tech. Expect to be in meetings with people having sidebar conversations in different languages. This wouldn’t be a problem if it were lunch time, or maybe if I weren’t the ONLY one on the team who did not speak the language. The issue is simply it’s hard to feel like you belong when the culture there is not diverse or inclusive. If you work in tech and happen to be from India, you will probably like it here, as my interactions with employees were generally pleasant, However I got the impression that nobody “really” wanted to show me things, or help me. It’s hard to feel like you’re apart of a team when people are speaking their language in meetings or collaborative work efforts, when EVERYONE speaks that language except you. Not a big deal. I took my talents elsewhere shortly after joining and I couldn’t be happier.

Pros

Resume Gold! Having the name on your resume opens doors because people know you can survive a high-volume, high-complexity environment. That’s where the benefits end.

Cons

Pay: It’s a joke. They expect specialized, expert-level work and deep tax knowledge for a base salary that is way below the market. They use the big name as an excuse to underpay you. Work/Life Balance: You are never truly off. To hit the impossible quotas, people are forced to work off the clock just to keep up. Management knows this is the only way the work gets done, but they look the other way so they don't have to address the workload. Management: They are manipulative and not leaders. Instead of helping with the workload, they use moving goalposts and vague promises of growth to keep you running. There is no advocacy for employees. Make sure to get everything in writing. Some get amnesia. Quantity over Quality: It’s a sweatshop for data. You’re forced to rush through complex setups just to hit a Go-Live count to appease Sales. Accuracy is key, but it often takes a backseat to volume, which is a nightmare for anyone who cares about doing the job right. No Room to Grow: There is no real way to move up. ADP is a lateral move company, and that’s only if your management doesn’t stand in your way and prevent you from leaving for another internal team.
