Depends on the teams

Senior software developer

Business Outlook

Pros

Great for starting your career. If you're lucky, you won't be forced out of the company depending on the company politics/priorities. Employee stock purchase has a 15% discount. Started with a great team, then transitioned to a team where micromanagement/overtime was the norm.

Cons

Depends on the teams. You could end up in a team with autonomy or a team that's highly micromanaged with mandatory overtime. Paycom has been doing layoffs recently over the past couple of years. Software developers are increasingly seen as feature-pushing bug-squashing work peons. There's been management missteps along the way, the people lower on the corporate hierarchy always pay for those mistakes. Compensation is somewhat on the low side. PTO has been reduced over the years.
