      Transition Specialist Representative Interview

      Apr 15, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Sunnyvale, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paycom (Sunnyvale, CA) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      After submitting an application, I was contacted by a recruiter for a brief screen. Shortly after, I was notified that I was being considered for an in-person interview. The recruiter I worked with was friendly and helpful and it was clear that she had the candidate's best interests in mind. My in-person interview took place in the Sunnyvale office and it was an awkward, disappointing, and poorly orchestrated affair. Upon reaching the door to the Paycom suite, I was faced with a locked door. I wasn't told how to notify the interviewer that I arrived and after some unsuccessful knocking, I called my recruiter at 5:00pm Oklahoma time on a Friday and was lucky enough to get a hold of her. She let the interviewer know that I was outside and I was let in a few moments later. The interview proceeded as the recruiter described. I was led to a computer to complete the assessment. First strike, the computer was running on Windows 98. After completing the assessment, I stepped into the office of the interviewer and sat down to begin the interview. Strike two, the interviewer seemed completely disinterested in his own questions (the most cliche of which I describe below) as well as mine. After an unenthusiastic sendoff on both sides, I stepped out and returned to the buildings garage where (strike three) I got stuck at the exit because I was never notified that I needed to get parking validated by the company I was visiting. Long story short, I couldn't get out of there fast enough. It was a logistical nightmare and the Sunnyvale office did not represent Paycom in a positive light.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      As I mentioned above, I'm going to list some of the cringeworthy, cliché questions I was asked. 1) What is your dream job? What's stopping you from doing that? 2) Describe yourself in three words. 3) Why should I hire you? 4) What's the number one reason I SHOULDN'T hire you? - The interviewer looked so pleased with himself when he asked this question as if it was the most clever question in the history of interviews. In reality, just a horrible take on "what's your biggest weakness" question.

      Best interview process I ever had! I was recruited on LinkedIn. Within a week and a half, and three interviews later, I had a job offer. It was a breeze!
