Other Application Security Analyst Interview Reviews for Paycom
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Paycom in Oct 2024
Interview
Did a HackerRank Assessment, then a phone screen, technical interview, and then behavioral. Technical focused on OWASP top 10 concepts like hashing vs encryption, types of injection attacks, etc.
Behavioral was more just a conversation about personality, how you deal with teams, rather than anything about tech specifically

OWASP's Top 10 web application vulnerabilities and how they appear in real-world scenarios will be the bulk of the interview questions. I was also shown several examples of web app vulnerabilities. I was asked to identify which vulnerabilities were displayed and how to prevent and mitigate them.

Overall, I had an amazing interview experience with both the Dallas/Grapevine and Oklahoma City teams at Paycom!
