Pros

Great for starting your career. If you're lucky, you won't be forced out of the company depending on the company politics/priorities. Employee stock purchase has a 15% discount. Started with a great team, then transitioned to a team where micromanagement/overtime was the norm.

Cons

Depends on the teams. You could end up in a team with autonomy or a team that's highly micromanaged with mandatory overtime. Paycom has been doing layoffs recently over the past couple of years. Software developers are increasingly seen as feature-pushing bug-squashing work peons. There's been management missteps along the way, the people lower on the corporate hierarchy always pay for those mistakes. Compensation is somewhat on the low side. PTO has been reduced over the years.

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.
