Pros

I really can’t think of anything good that happened during my time there. The pay was pretty good, but it destroyed my life.

Cons

By far the worst place I’ve ever worked in more than 25 years. I used to start dreading the upcoming week on Saturday mornings right after my coffee. The micromanaging is simply on a level hereto unseen. They claim to care for their employees, but anyone with eyes and ears can see that is not true. If you want to have any semblance of a life, you need to stay away from Paycom. Their reputation in OKC should be tarnished in every way possible. Hope the Thunder will end their sponsorship with Paycom. One gives the city hope. The other destroys lives.

Pros

You get paid. Whatever benefits they offer. etc They pay about average to the market. Maybe below average for some devs.

Cons

- Frustrating vibe coded internal tools we're eventually be all forced to use. - SDLC process that changes excessively - Setup for failure and quick to have the fingers pointed at you. - Numerous experienced people have left the company. - Unreasonable overtime. - Projects canceled after people have been working on it for months. Some of them already completed or on the verge of completion. - Upper management will strategic present things as positive when it's not. We can tell very quickly they're not genuinely positive. - We're expected to perform at the highest standards yet management doesn't seem to lead by example.
