      Developers will test their own code, leadership has lost the plot

      Senior software developer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Incredible pay for the area (Oklahoma) Cheap benefits for single individuals

      Cons

      Leadership chose to lay off 70% of the QA department and make developers test their own code. Not only is this shortsighted (bugs will go up substantially, quality down, dev timelines way slower), but it's also a major change of job responsibilities. Make no mistake, interviewing for a dev here now means interviewing for being a QA too. Leadership does not know how to improve current market cap/situation, and is inexperienced -- making poor decision after poor decision and then walking it back when it inevitably does not work.

      A sinking ship

      Senior software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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 - Outdated tech stack.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)
