Sheer, grey, misery
If I can be honest, I had no pros I could give; none, zero, zilch. I dreaded every day I had to work. I couldn't tell you what was the worst part of working there. The commute to the horribly backed-up office in OKC, which made you late every morning; the abysmal pay and promotion tiering; the fact that no one ever looked happy working there; the outdated, excruciatingly outdated software (please just work at a modern company so you can see how lightyears behind this place is). Once their tech stack phases out, this company is toast. There's an entire department of low-paying manual QA positions; this should have been replaced with automation engineers about 5 years ago.
Truly, the worst company in tech I have ever worked for and will work for, bar none. If you have ever traveled outside of the South and seen any of the benefits any tech company gives its employees, you'll see how evil it is to be fooled by Paycom's lowball salaries they pay their poor, suffering employees that have to work in those gray cubes day in day out.
This company does everything so glaringly obvious to "believe" in whatever bleak culture they're trying to sell to the young, impressionable staff they churn through. I don't think anyone outside of Oklahoma understands how embarrassing it is to have this company on a resume because no one takes an archaic company like this seriously anymore in 2022, where companies actually have modern hiring practices and treat their employees well.
This company plagues the poor employees with t-shirts and useless swag instead of cutting those costs and paying their people a fair wage. I think when I left around the 1.2 year mark, I tossed about 20 shirts that never saw the light of day.
I have no advice for management; this company will find its demise as bleak as their grey cubicles, which line their eyesore of an office. My advice for employees is to fight hard for your ability to WFH or work remotely, or just leave entirely. Please know there are better, higher-paying jobs out there in engineering that offer a better salary. You are worth more than you think.

Awkward and non-conversational interviewers made it difficult to gauge how the interview was going. I felt that the questions were vague and didn't really make sense. There was a long wait time for the interview and to hear back.

I was contacted by a recruiter to interview. I had two phone screenings and did not move on to the next round. I was told the next round would have been a Zoom interview, followed by a skills test, followed by another interview.

The whole process had two rounds: * One at the university * One at the premises They had a reception the night before the interview and gave a tour of the campus.
