      Software Developer Interview

      May 20, 2026
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Paycom

      Interview

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

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

      Application

      I interviewed at Paycom (Orlando, FL)

      Interview

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      basic OOP questions, and some Java questions
