We interviewed Caitlyn, one of our product managers of Talent and Workforce Management, to learn more about her Paycom journey.
Describe what you do.
As a product manager, I have the opportunity to identify, prioritize and solve business problems by creating innovative solutions through software. I collaborate with a team of incredibly talented developers, testers and designers to ensure we are providing customers a unique experience that exceeds expectations.
What is your favorite thing about being in product management?
Working in product management allows me the opportunity to work alongside some of the most talented people in Oklahoma and Texas. We have a diverse group of employees at Paycom, and I’m constantly learning and growing because of the influence they have.
What advice would you give a new employee for being successful at Paycom?
Be open and flexible. Things are consistently moving and changing at Paycom. If you are open to taking on challenges that arise, I promise you will become a better version of yourself.
What’s the one word you would choose to describe Paycom, and why?
Growth. Paycom’s growth is evident each day I walk into the corporate office. I see new faces and office spaces. However, I have also seen so much growth in myself because Paycom has offered me the opportunity to explore new roles and take on additional responsibilities. I have learned a lot about myself in my career at Paycom, and I have gained a lot of confidence because of that knowledge.
What is your greatest accomplishment at Paycom?
I am in my sixth year at Paycom, and I have had a lot of personal and professional achievements that I am very proud of. One I am most proud of is also the most recent: I led my development team through a project that will soon be a key feature to solving many business problems.
What makes you proud to work at Paycom?
The thing that makes me most proud to work at Paycom is the people. The people who work at Paycom make coming to work fun, and they have always provided support and encouragement when I’ve needed it most.
What are some of your favorite hobbies outside of work?
Anything that involves spending quality time with my husband and 1-year-old son, Levi! We love going on walks, spending time outside and trying new restaurants.
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
That’s an easy one! My mom’s homemade chicken enchiladas with chips and salsa. Nothing beats it!
