Same as developer interview. It consists of one phone screen. A technical interview (leet code easy), and then I personally had another more technical interview that wasn't coding. Just asking about test automation.

Other Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) interview reviews for Paycom
Pretty standard, hr call --> online assessment with general coding knowledge --> live coding leetcode like --> final interview with a manager mostly behavioral / technical and go over role and expectations
The interview process itself was smooth, and I really enjoyed meeting the people at Paycom—everyone was welcoming and passionate about their work. That said, my experience with the recruiting process felt a bit scattered. My recruiter was out for a week, which understandably happens, but it did leave me feeling a bit uneasy during that time.
Looking back, I understand that an extended screening process isn’t uncommon, but a more structured and proactive communication flow would’ve made things feel smooth. I’m incredibly excited to start working soon and contribute to the team! If anyone from Paycom sees this, I’d recommend considering a more spaced-out and earlier onboarding process to help new hires ease into their roles with more clarity and confidence.
