Paycom

The overall culture is great. It's very professional (dress code, 8-5 work hours, etc.), but I find that to be a big help for productivity, and I like the environment more that way. I would NOT describe it as "uptight." All the developers are actual employees, unlike at some tech companies where half your team are "contractors" who are treated differently.

Benefits-wise, the basics are covered, and one-dollar-per-paycheck health insurance is really nice.

From a software development standpoint, I like that there is a standard structure and process for doing things, and it works pretty well, even if not perfect. It lets me get my work done without having to think much about things that are less important. The work itself is engaging and fun.

No paid maternity leave is a colossal drawback. Paycom only offers the bare minimum mandated by federal law (FMLA), which is simply a guarantee that you can return to your job after 12 weeks of unpaid leave, provided that you exhaust all your vacation time first.

Employees hear a lot about the company's "values," but diversity and inclusion never seem to be mentioned. Also, working from home is not an option for software developers.

Paycom has a great atmosphere and culture already, but in order to compete against larger competitors, it will need to recognize that new developers are looking to work at companies with a more modern outlook on things like diversity.
