I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Paycom in Nov 2022
Interview
There were around 4 rounds of interview, one assessment, one technical interview with Leet code and one phone call interview which is around 20mins and one more technical interview which is 30mins pure technical with in-depth questions and very hard Leet code problem as I thought it would be behavioral round. Final round was harder when compared to all the round I have gone through, as an entry-level student it's not right way to expect a student to write high-level coding within 30mins of time period.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It's all about JAVA and DBMS questions and Leet code problems
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.
