Pros

The Paycheck is nice and there are still some cool people although a lot of the senior devs and older management have left.

Cons

Unstable work policies, unstable work environment. Rapid extreme changes called for from upper management are regularly pushed out and then rolled back just as quickly. A burn and churn culture for the new hires and no sense of job security among the seniors who have largely already left. Its Chaos, just straight up chaos lately. Things were amazing for years but I the stock wasn't growing fast enough and upper management started throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. Multiple waves of huge layoffs have worn down everyone's morale as well. I used to suggest all my friends to apply here but I stopped doing that years ago. It is sad honestly, I would have worked to retirement here if it stayed how it was.

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.
