Pros

Pay and benefits are above average

Cons

- Cut benefits recently - Work till you drop culture - Fires employees even after you deliver deadlines that require 7 days 10-12 hr work weeks - Not stable business, most likely going to fail soon - No career growth - Metrics don’t matter - Almost nothing happens or gets done by leadership they are very scared of the stock decrease and don’t know what to do

Pros

Good pay and benefits, although they have reduced maternity leave time and eliminated bonuses for many positions.

Cons

You will be expected to work well past a standard 40 hour work week almost every week. Nearly every task you are assigned will have a deadline that is only possible with overtime. Paycom has also had an unstable upper management structure for over a year now and has regular layoffs.

Pros

You'll get solid hands-on experience with React, PHP, and full-stack development. The team itself was collaborative—my peers were helpful and willing to share knowledge, which made the day-to-day work enjoyable.

Cons

Work-life balance was a significant challenge. Long hours were expected regularly, especially around sprint deadlines and releases, which made it difficult to maintain personal commitments. Management communication could be inconsistent—priorities would shift without clear explanation, and there wasn't always transparency about project timelines or expectations. Limited feedback on performance made it hard to gauge where you stand or how to grow within the organization.
