Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay, good people at the bottom of the org chart.

Cons

Leadership does not respect the dignity of its employees. -discourages collaboration amongst developers because everyone is “heads down” with their own tasks. -Quantity over quality. The incentive is to deliver functionality as fast as possible, resulting in spaghetti code bases. Little consideration for scalability and future developers’ work.

NOT a great place to work

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

$4 lunch, great people who are all now trauma bonded

Cons

No opportunities to move up. Promotion and raise freeze for two years but apparently that only applies to people who ask for one. Lay-Offs like crazy. Up until laid off, I made 50% less than new hires doing my same role. Let go of entire Product/most of Software department which included analysts, designers, developers, IT, etc. These numbers continue to dwindle. Paycom does it cleverly so they don’t have to issue warn acts, but upwards of near 500 were let go throughout february. Despite preaching Paycom is stable and financially well, outside businesses know otherwise. -25% in workforce in just two years. No one uses their new “AI” which still doesn’t work. All of the reviews that boast 5 stars are either new people, hired by AI to write, or employees were micromanaged to write 4+ stars. You can tell by their copy and pasted script and copy and pasted job titles. So many people talk about leaving but can’t because OKC has little to no other job opportunities so everyone just bites their nails waiting to be laid off. Do yourself a favor and stay away. The stress isn’t worth it.
