I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Paycom (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2025
Interview
Behavioral and Technical Interview, pretty classic amongst interviews at most companies, know object-oriented programming well enough to answer basic questions, along with a good practice in LeetCode problems. Paycom had good communication throughout the interview process.

Other Software Developer Interview Reviews for Paycom
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.

Question 1
Question about 'what is an abstract class' and some simple SQL questions about joins. Everything was pretty basic.

It was okay. In my case, the interviewer did not seem friendly at all and was hardly interacting. Even though I explained my entire thought process, he seemed to be distracted by other things lol.
