I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Paycom (Oklahoma City, OK) in Oct 2022
Interview
Hackerrank MC test. Had 35 minutes to complete. Contacted by recruiter to talk about resume, GPA, benefits, etc. Technical interview with supervisor. Had questions about OOP and a coding question. Last interview with another dev, had a couple questions about my resume and then another coding question (I didn't know this round would have one too) Smooth interview process and communication was good. Still waiting to hear something back after my final interview.
It's rewarding to know you've had a thorough and informative interview process. We wish you best of luck during this last stage!
I applied online. I interviewed at Paycom
Interview
Everything was fine. But during the tech part of the interview, I noticed the interviewer was very talkative. So I asked ahead of time if I could have 2 minutes to read and process the question before he offered any guidance. He only gave me about 20 seconds and kept interrupting my train of thought. It felt like a boss was standing over my shoulder talking the whole time. I got turned off by that. I let the time run out and ended the interview. Personally, would not apply again but others might not have the same experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Question about 'what is an abstract class' and some simple SQL questions about joins. Everything was pretty basic.
We pride ourselves on creating a respectful and professional interview experience for every candidate, and your feedback doesn't align with that standard. We'd like to learn more, please reach out to hrmgmt@paycomonline.com.
The process was pretty fast in terms of turnaround time but had three interviews, two or three online assessments, plus an invasive background check. Overall the interview process was easy but I can see how it could be difficult if coming from an outside field of work. I do think the reviews of the position were aggressively negative compared to the way the position is pitched in interviews.

Our interview process is designed to be timely, and we aim to be transparent about both the role and the standards our organization holds.
Very straightforward. They did a phonescreen call. And asked basic questions and then set you up with another interviewer. The questions were not that hard. They were very in line with the job description
