Paycom Software Developer reviews

There are too many to comprehensively list, but I will mention a few from the standpoint of a dev. 1. Business model is to burn and churn new grads and this reflects in the code base. It is a hot mess. You will inevitably pick up terrible habits and practices in software development that will harm your future prospects. 2. Unrealistic deadlines. Regardless of whether you push to meet them, you will be let go. 3. Obsolete tech stack (mostly PHP) 4. It is mandatory to blame someone- literally name drop- on every bug ticket. If you do not point the finger at someone, by default, the dev who picks up the bug is blamed. This creates a toxic environment of pointing fingers. While this is mostly at the team level, the culture of throwing others under the bus to save face resonates through the company. 5. Micromanagement and 0 flexibility. There could be a snow storm with all school districts closed and you will be expected to be at the office on time.

Tight deadlines, lots of layoffs, little time for maintenence
