I applied online. I interviewed at Paycom (Minneapolis, MN) in Jul 2025
Interview
Did a phone screen which was the usual stuff: talk about your accomplishments, why do you want to work here, etc.
I made it through to round 2. I was on vacation and they wanted me to do it that same day… they knew I was on vacation. We rescheduled for the following week at 6am which is wild. Anyway, glad I took the gap because before interview #2 I read up on the company culture and people have zero good things to say about the company. After that I admit I didn’t prep hard for my 2nd interview because I knew I didn’t want to work there.
Interview 2 was really short and hardly asked anything about specific accomplishments. Manager was really nice and it felt like a conversation, but again, I wasn’t into it at all based off the company.
Last thing is that they’re a little condescending about interview prep, I.e. MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A FULL SUIT! We are all grown adults who know to dress formally. You don’t have to act like we’re idiots.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Paycom (Raleigh, NC) in Feb 2026
Interview
Was approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn, met with them for half an hour via phone and then the hiring manager for about an hour on Zoom. I overall really enjoyed the process and appreciated the straightforward communication around promotions, pay, onboarding, and general expectations as very few companies have that sort of transparency in the hiring process these days.
The vibe of the reviews made it seem pretty intense and that aligns with my perception after interviewing. I don't think I would have accepted had I gotten an offer for that reason. However, it seems to be a very rewarding opportunity if you're willing to make that trade-off.
Thank you for taking the time to interview with our team. We're pleased to hear that our interview process stood out to you for its organization and transparency, and we appreciate your feedback.
