They do immediate termination with no investigation. The leadership is not loyal to their employees. - Software Developer Paycom Employee Review

Pros

Good coworkers. I have met many amazing coworkers at Paycom.

Cons

1. Immediate termination without any investigation. Right after almost everyone coming back from the holiday break, Paycom fired 100+ (Allegedly) developers within 3 days (Jan 8th - Jan 11th). No severance package. Paycheck and FSA ends at the exact day when they fire you. All your insurance will end at the end of this month. 2. They fire everyone with the same reason: you don’t have HR approval for wfh when you should be on site. Paycom never talked about this rule in their meetings before the day they start firing devs. There were just rumors about leadership was auditing who was not in the office when they were supposed to. Nothing official. Even before Christmas, in the emails they send to developers they said if developer need to wfh, they need to get supervisor’s permission. That’s also what they had emphasized in their meetings with devs. HR is never mentioned. Many management roles are not aware of this rule themselves. Paycom didn’t give warnings before they fire people for not being on site even just for 2 days with team lead’s permission. Briefly, I kind of doubt the loyalty and honesty Paycom has for its employees.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
