Pros

The people (depending on your team) can be great. I was staffed on a team that was known for hanging out, mentoring, and supporting one another. We get along great.

Cons

The company has been going downhill from a workers perspective for a while now. Small things like Hybrid -> In Person, new guidelines on what you can/can't wear to the office, but also big things like getting rid of promotion guidelines and performance tracking altogether. There used to be a rigid system that gave some clarity on how your performance was every month, and based on that performance, you would automatically be eligible for a promotion based on your pace. This was a huge plus for the company in my eyes originally. They did away with that a year ago, and also laid off much of the staff like testers, project managers, and product managers, that made it so developers could focus on writing code. Since then, developers were expected to take on the roles of all of these lost positions, and essentially the job devolved into something nobody signed up for. The pace slowed down, and code frequently got pushed to future deadlines because of reasons out of our control (no available testers usually being one of them). It seems that whoever is at the top of these decisions doesn't have a good sense of what is going on at the workers level.

Pros

The culture is one of the strongest aspects of the company! You’re surrounded by highly driven, intelligent, and motivated individuals who push you to elevate your own performance, all while centering the clients best interests in mind. There is a clear focus on growth—not just professionally, but personally as well. What stands out most is the ability to make a tangible impact. The work we do directly influences our clients’ success, and there are constant opportunities to improve processes, drive efficiency, and deliver meaningful results. If you are someone who wants to contribute ideas, lead initiatives, and see the outcome of your efforts, this is the place to do it! Leadership invests in development, and there are continuous opportunities to learn, mentor others, and refine your skill set. The benefits, compensation, and overall structure support high performance, and the company does a great job recognizing those who deliver results. I highly recommend Paycom as a place of employment.

Cons

The environment is fast-paced and demanding, which can require long hours at times and sometimes frequent travel. However, those hours are purposeful—they directly correlate to the impact you’re making for clients and the success you help drive. For individuals who are motivated by results and thrive in high-performance environments, this becomes more of an opportunity than a drawback.

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.
