Pros
  • Great benefits
  • Competitive pay (especially for OKC area)
  • Excellent stock bonuses for developers
Cons
  • Constant changes in work responsibilities and employee policies.

They are having a hard time settling on what Dev/QA/Product should be doing, and each month is bringing new "updates" on what job responsibilities are. They seem to be intent on re-capturing the stock price boom of 2020-21 and think they need to keep changing things until that happens again.

  • Potential for long hours or impromptu "we need to work through the weekend" moments. This is very dependent on the module you work in, so hope for good module placement.

  • Outdated tech stack. The UI has been transitioning over to React, but the majority of work done is within a custom PHP framework.

  • Most of the things you work on are custom to Paycom and don't build very transferable skills to new positions in the future (custom PHP framework, self-hosted instead of cloud infrastructure, very little microservices architecture).

Advice to Management

Please work on offering some stability to employees, especially in Technology roles.

The constant changes and "let's try this" mentality is very frustrating and makes everyone nervous.

Listen to employees on what works.
