- 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- Outdated tech stack.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)
