Pros

The lunches. That’s about it

Cons

Absolutely abysmal training. Team Leads are just messenger’s. Supervisors are completely ignorant and power hungry. The work load and expectations are ridiculous. They look to tear you down and write you up at every opportunity. Pay is below market average

A sinking ship

Senior software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great benefits - Competitive pay (especially for OKC area) - Excellent stock bonuses for developers

Cons

- Constant changes in work responsibilities and employee policies. They are having a hard time settling on what Dev/QA/Product should be doing, and each month is bringing new "updates" on what job responsibilities are. They seem to be intent on re-capturing the stock price boom of 2020-21, and think they need to keep changing things until that happens again. - Potential for long hours (or impromptu "we need to work through the weekend" moments). This is very dependent on the module you work in, so hope for good module placement. - Outdated tech stack. The UI has been transitioning over to React, but the majority of work done is within a custom PHP framework - Most of the things you work on are custom to Paycom, and don't build very transferable skills to new positions in the future (custom PHP framework, self-hosted instead of cloud infrastructure, very little microservices architecture)
