      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 - Outdated tech stack.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)

      Management stuck in broken cycles

      Senior software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Individual contributors work hard and are genuinely good people. Decent benefits package and salary compared to industry average.

      Cons

      - Culture is toxic — blame shifting and scapegoating are routine, making collaboration stressful. - Leadership struggles to stick to decisions; priorities change constantly without clear direction. - Broken processes are repeatedly reverted to, instead of addressing root causes or making valuable changes. - Accountability is rarely shared at the management level. - Processes are dictated by individuals without the technical expertise to understand their impact, which undermines productivity. - Development teams' input is routinely dismissed, even when it would prevent problems down the line.

      Good Pay...Mediocre tech stack and developer experience

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits and pay. Very energetic teammates

      Cons

      Bad management, bordering on micro management. Lack of a Development and Project management framework. everything happens at the whims and fancies of the top level executive. No purpose or motivation for dev teams.
