Pros

In 2019 this company was not bad to work for but after COVID the management just keeps making really bad decisions. They had some decent stock options but they are cutting back. They use to give bigger pay raises but that's no longer a thing either. Somehow they are consistently Top 10 or #1 work place, but In the 6 years I've worked there I've never had a survey about it. Its a company that looks good and might be good for the first few years but you will get burned if you stay to long.

Cons

They are currently firing developers that have worked from home when they are not suppose to without any warning or advance notice. There is a disconnect with HR and Development currently that could affect the companies overall outlook. HR just sees names to fire. In reality they now have large portions of payroll critical code that no one knows how works. Most devs struggle to understand this code and some quit. Financially speaking the company is doing great, but Chad is in his ivory tower and is not loyal to his employees at all. You will be fired without any real reason. To clarify my WFH was approved, but the management that approved it wasn't suppose to. My entire team was fired including my TL.

Pros

Good benefits, easy HR system. As a product, Paycom is very good.

Cons

There has been too much restructuring in the past couple of years. You will get no overtime pay. A bad developer and a good developer will be paid the same. They do not care about what technique you use as long as it works. Got used to a new process that was released two months ago? They just changed it again. The issue was Paycom tried to fix something that was not broken (for the most part) in Development, and now everything is pretty much broken. You will get double the work but no change in pay. They will try to get feedback, but only from managers, not actual developers who work with the system each day. Even though they inconvenience developers every other week with a new priority, if you inconvenience management (usually because they want Rome built in a day), you will have a write-up. Many good developers have left for better opportunities elsewhere as they also were not getting raises or title changes, even though they're doing better work above their pay grade. You only got a raise if everyone was getting a raise.
