I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Paycom (Oklahoma City, OK) in Sep 2023

Interview

The interview process was very straight forward. My recruiter told me exactly what to expect. The interviewers were professional and fun. Most of the questions were about work place scenarios. They also provided me with a lot of details about the position. My recruiter called me the next day with an offer.

I interviewed at Paycom (Fort Worth, TX)

Interview

This was one of my first interviews, so at the time did not realize how non-compliant the process is. There was good communication, but no structure in interview questions. I wasn't given a lot of feedback. They wanted to know about my family and told me I look too nice.

The interview was a open space to ask questions. No unnecessary questions. It was a lengthy process but worth the experience received. No one interviewing me showed any form of discomfort . The interviewers were interested genuinely in my job experience and skills gained.

Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Paycom

Interview

Trying to keep this as unbiased as possible, the recruiter was amazing and helped every step of the process. The hiring managers were great and seemed to care. The problem that I have with the interview was it took so much time to prep and do each interview. There are 4 rounds and two of them are in person (with the last being 4 HOURS). I felt that even though the position is strict and hard, the interview process was very tedious and long. My least favorite part was the final round where there was a lack of communication between the recruiter and the hiring manager. I felt like I was thrown into the fire and asked unreasonable tasks such as cold call for 3 hours and book 3 meetings for the team. I believe this was unfair as I had no direction from the team and even my hiring manager said "oops we should have told you this and that ahead of time." Well I was already an hour and a half into calling and I was FINALLY given advice. The process felt like another job in it of itself and was an overall waste of time. I recommend everyone reading this, do themself a favor and beware of the process before wasting your time and energy,

I applied online. I interviewed at Paycom (Indianapolis, IN) in Nov 2023

Interview

The phone screen itself was easy and informative. It was a 45 minute video call, and I learned about the position and more about Paycom's mission. I was told I would be moving on to the next round for interviewing and advised I would receive a call the next day to schedule with the hiring manager. I did receive a call when expected, however the recruiter told me an offer was extended to another candidate, and no further interviews would be conducted. While I appreciate the phone call for the update, I was disappointed to have been told that I am no longer in consideration after being advised I am going through to the next round with the hiring manager.

Morgan Stanley

In an interview is it a good practice to draw examples for answering situational questions from the most recent and relevant experience or should I draw examples from other previous experiences as well?
