Paycom

• 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.

• 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.

If you want to call yourself a software company, then own it. A strict schedule, no working from home, and making sure we "hit those 40 hours" every week don't make your developers feel happy. Make things more flexible, and you'll find devs happier and working harder for you.
