Pros: - Pretty good benefits, but an embarrassingly bad two-year vesting schedule on 401k. - Lots of training, which can be both a good and a bad thing. - The people working there are very accepting.

Cons: - Still using PHP. Very rough for career transitions. You won't be using any new technology here, and if you do, it would be very little. - There isn't autonomy. They love to call themselves a software company, but they have rules like an HR sales company: strict 8-5, business casual, etc. - Agile is non-existent. I was told in the interview process they used it everywhere, but was lied to. - VERY counterproductive 'Point System' for devs. They take their point system that's used in the competitive sales department and threw it on devs. You earn points based off projects you work and how many hours they 'think' you should take on it. They give fewer points for bugs and security work (fixing issues is worth less?), so you always feel like you have to take new development. They also have a board of the 'Top 15' and 'Bottom 15' devs for all to see in the office. It makes people feel horrible when devs should be working to solve problems together. You also have to hit a certain point threshold for a promotion (what if you're a special case who should be promoted now, though?). - Codebase is terrible. Unit tests, strict standards, etc. are non-existent.

Pros: Work-life balance. Healthy and friendly environment.

Cons: Not my favorite city and state, but it's fine.

Pros: $1 health insurance. Direct coworkers are awesome and actually care about you more than the company.

Cons: I cannot stress this enough, DO NOT WORK HERE. This company's mismanagement is on par with another failing tech company being eviscerated from the top down. Paycom will burn you out and throw you away like you mean absolutely nothing to them. Prior to December 13th, my experience at Paycom could be summarized as overall alright but certainly not fulfilling. I struggled to be able to do my job after our product management department experienced a high level of turnover after horrible mistreatment. This caused a ripple effect throughout the tech departments as a whole. Highly aggressive deadlines are set with no consideration for team's workloads. December 13th, they announced QA will be returning full time in the office January 16th (MLK Day by the way). The reasoning blamed our lack of communication and degradation of company culture. No statistics or data was given how this would increase productivity like they claimed it would. This obviously upset many employees, as developers are being given until March to return to a 3/2 schedule opposed to 4/1. Employees were promised in their offer letters their position was remote and they allowed recruiters to promise this up until the day before. There were people that literally started on Monday thinking their job was remote 4 days and in office 1 day, and the very next day were told that their schedule was now 5 days in the office. Many employees were also upset that a month during Christmas time is not enough time to find full-time childcare for their new schedules. So in response to this anxiety and concern, the company opened a forum page for people to ask questions. Only vague boilerplate answers were given with zero empathy for people's feelings. Then two full weeks later, they decided we must pay for speaking up that this treatment wasn't showing the company values they preach to us; they fired almost two dozen people. They couldn't stand the fact their precious ratings here dropped so much and the fact people posted online that they were looking for a new job. The department atmosphere right now is incredibly bleak. Everyone is scared for their jobs and afraid what Chad will do next. People are fleeing as fast as they can. I cannot stress enough, do not come work here. The treatment Chad and his goon squad has put us through the past three weeks is borderline emotionally abusive. All of this going on during Christmas, all the while many large-scale development projects are due. Even if you don't get fired or you don't mind working in an office, you will end up burnt out and overworked. The pay isn't even good.
