Pros

The Paycheck is nice and there are still some cool people although a lot of the senior devs and older management have left.

Cons

Unstable work policies, unstable work environment. Rapid extreme changes called for from upper management are regularly pushed out and then rolled back just as quickly. A burn and churn culture for the new hires and no sense of job security among the seniors who have largely already left. Its Chaos, just straight up chaos lately. Things were amazing for years but I the stock wasn't growing fast enough and upper management started throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. Multiple waves of huge layoffs have worn down everyone's morale as well. I used to suggest all my friends to apply here but I stopped doing that years ago. It is sad honestly, I would have worked to retirement here if it stayed how it was.

Pros

The people, we have amazing people that inspire me every day. They are so smart and love to think creatively to solve problems and propel us into the future! The perks and our beautiful campus. We are an in-office culture so it is very nice to have all the $4 delicious lunch options, on-site fitness center and wellness programs. Our landscaping is gorgeous and just getting to give high fives and see people winning is very rewarding. I enjoy seeing all the fun ways people decorate their work space and the extras when a birthday, anniversary, baby, wedding, etc... is celebrated! Overall the pay is really good too.

Cons

Paycom definitely is not for everyone. We are a metrics driven organization with high expectations. We expect people to learn fast, be confident to problem solve and ask questions so ultimately we all get the desired results. Depending on where you live the commute every day can feel long. Currently the city has construction going near the entrances so that stinks but it should be great once complete.

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s great to see it reflect the energy and pride people bring to their work, along with the campus and benefits designed to support that environment. We’re clear about our high expectations, and it’s encouraging to hear how that culture comes through alongside the people and perks that make Paycom a rewarding place to be.
