      Weird, Evil Upper Management. - Software Development Engineer (SDE) Paycom Employee Review

      Pros

      Pay is pretty much median for tech. Benefits are ok. Coworkers are nice.

      Cons

      Where to begin, there is no senior leadership here at all, it’s all college kids. No senior dev would ever come here because they see through the trash, so thats why they prey on college grads. Your leader is probably going to be the same age or younger than you. It shines light on the volatility of this company. Everyone runs around like a chicken with their head cut off, code is a disaster, upper management is clueless to software and treat employees like cheap labor. They will lead you on to career prospects, then through sheer evil at the last minute ditch you. Employees feed into this out of fear of being fired so you can’t blame them as they are just trying to support their families. New leadership is creepy and extremely unqualified, I have no idea how they even got to c-suite. I would only recommend here if you have no options, which is the majority of people that return because we all know what this company is about. They create an illusion of false reality that you soon figure out once you have witnessed it internally. I would take a job anywhere else because this companies reputation is going to get really bad over the next few years.

      Pros

      * Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

      Cons

      Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
