Process
I had a phone screening scheduled for 10:30 AM. I immediately received a rejection at 10:31 AM for not picking up the call at the designated time.
I immediately called back the recruiter to explain that the number showed as "Spam" and to ask if we could reschedule or still proceed with the screening. Apparently, she had already decided to reject me for missing the call, as she cut the interview short and said I would not be a good fit. Her tone was rude and unprofessional.
I tried to explain the situation and report this conduct to HR via email, but they blocked me from reaching them. This is absurd. I can only imagine what it would be like actually working with this company.

Pros: Paycom is my first full-time job out of college, and it has been a great experience so far.
My team is full of intelligent and personable people from whom I learn every day.
Cons: They have recently switched to an A-B schedule that requires being in the office half of the time.

Great place to work, but plenty of room for improvement

Pros: Pay and benefits are great, with a clearly defined path to promotions and increased pay. Catered lunches are convenient and cheap.
Coworkers are extremely friendly, smart, and helpful. If you have any trouble with something, just ask your team and you will get very helpful answers.
The company is growing at a fast but steady pace. An on-site gym with free fitness programs and sports leagues is available. The recruiting/hiring process was very smooth and easy to navigate.
Cons: The work can be highly stressful, as management adds pressure to release projects on arbitrary deadlines, which leads to more focus on quantity over quality.
Communication to employees could improve, especially in development. Significant changes are made with little communication, causing confusion and uncertainty.
Traffic at the end of the day is frustrating, as everyone leaves at once.
Quality of lunches has gone down over the years. Employees are a bit wasteful on Styrofoam cups, especially since they give us so many reusable cups.

DO NOT WORK HERE AT ALL
Software Developer • Former Employee

Pros: Nothing, neither pay nor work-life balance.
Cons: Worst company I have seen in my career. The work culture was very competitive and cut-throat. They evaluate the work every 2 weeks and display the bottom developer's names on every floor and fire them suddenly after 3 months. Executive and management staff always encouraged employees to work harder, longer hours. No work/life balance.
* No bonus share or bonus
* No overtime
* No college tuition
* No family program, etc.
In one word: 'STRESSFUL'. Not at all recommended.
