Paycom

In 2019, this company was not bad to work for, but after COVID, the management just keeps making really bad decisions.

They had some decent stock options, but they are cutting back.

They used to give bigger pay raises, but that's no longer a thing either.

Somehow, they are consistently Top 10 or #1 workplace. But in the 6 years I've worked there, I've never had a survey about it.

It's a company that looks good and might be good for the first few years, but you will get burned if you stay too long.

They are currently firing developers who have worked from home when they are not supposed to, without any warning or advance notice.

There is a disconnect between HR and Development currently that could affect the company's overall outlook. HR just sees names to fire. In reality, they now have large portions of payroll-critical code that no one knows how it works. Most devs struggle to understand this code, and some quit.

Financially speaking, the company is doing great, but Chad is in his ivory tower and is not loyal to his employees at all. You will be fired without any real reason. To clarify, my WFH was approved, but the management that approved it wasn't supposed to. My entire team was fired, including my TL.

Don't just fire people without warning, especially if they are already overworked.

My time was approved, but HR isn't able to see it and is not willing to look at previous emails for proof.

I really think later this year your codebase will be in complete disarray, and this will affect your business.
