Pros

The people are the reason I stayed as long as I did. They are truly family and each one of us were in it together. If it weren't for the amazing friends I met, I would have left the company much sooner.

Cons

If you enjoy a personal life... you can forget about it. Black out dates, 10-12 hour days 2/3 of the year. This position is discussed as a project management position but all it is, is a big baby sitting gig. Calling clients that have no intention of ever reaching back out to you and getting dinged on your bonus because you failed to "start" enough people for the quarter. If you're contemplating this position... think long and hard. The grass isn't always greener. The turn over is also a HUGE issue... at the rate people leave, they can't replace them fast enough, you will have 1 person hired for every 2-3 leaving. The vast majority of the team is tenured at 1 year....

Pros

It is not a bad company overall. They do a lot of community outreach and volunteering, which is great. They have decent benefits, a free gym, and a reasonably prices cafe with decent food. I am hopeful the product and IT department will change their culture for the better (see cons). There are a lot of good people there and as far as a technology company they are always pushing the boundaries from a technical perspective.

Cons

Paycor is very fast paced. A lot of other companies I worked for where not slow by any stretch but comparatively Paycor has them beat. Due to this pace there is a lot of stress and issues. There are 22+ scrum teams that all have different priorities and inner-team dependencies becomes a huge problem that they have not been able to solve. I will also mention that it is a not a great culture (only speaking of the product and IT department, but I heard bad things from other departments as well), when things go wrong the first order is business is to determine blame (this is ultimately what caused me to leave). I think this has been made worse by a new CTO that joined last January. A lot of the old guard (mostly director and VP level) are scared and there is a lot of CYA going on when things go wrong. They also have a large and cumbersome change management and release process that everyone needs to adhere to. They do have a DevOps group that is slowing making progress but they struggle implementing the changes that the company needs due to the leadership that have been there a long time that have a preference to keep things status-quo.
