      Bad engineering culture - Senior Software Developer Paycom Employee Review

      Pros

      -Pay is pretty good for the area (OKC/DFW) -Company sponsored health insurance ($1 / pay period) -Coworkers are generally chill -Used to be a good place for entry level software developers to grow and learn from talented senior engineers. Unsure if that is the case anymore as all of the best mentors are too stressed or have left the company

      Cons

      - Insanely stressful timelines. Expected to work nights and weekends just to rush out a project that was poorly planned. - Old tech stack. Use of any artificial intelligence is essentially banned. - No opportunities to work on cloud-native applications. - Full 5 days in office, no flexibility. (All meetings are done through Zoom) - The software development office in North Texas does not have enough bathrooms for the amount of male-identifying employees. There are regularly lines of 3-4 people to use the stalls. - The culture of the software development department dramatically shifted negatively during 2025. There is a lot that could be said about this, but a prime example of this was when almost all QA were fired. This resulted in all of their responsibilities being transferred to devs while the devs were being pressured to hit unreal deadlines. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind testing my own code, but without being able to utilize artificial intelligence in a practical manner it felt impossible to both fully develop and test a feature while maintaining management's aggressive timelines.

      Pros

      * Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

      Cons

      Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
