I had one of the most disappointing interview processes. I am an international student, and before applying for this role, I contacted the recruiter and asked if Paycom offers CPT positions to international students. The recruiter replied, "Yes, they do." So, I applied for the position. I also mentioned in my application that I am a bachelor's student and "YES," I will require visa sponsorship.

After five days, I received my HackerRank assessment, which I aced. Then, they invited me for the second round, a technical interview, where the interviewer asked me technical questions and presented a coding problem. I also aced the technical interview.

The next day, I received an email from the recruiter who would like to discuss my career goals, background, and expectations from the role on a phone call. We scheduled a call. I was pretty excited because this was far into the interview process, and I was progressing steadily.

On the phone call, the recruiter said that they would not be going forward with my application because I am a bachelor's student, and Paycom is not offering sponsorship to bachelor's students. I had been preparing for these interviews for a long time, missing classes to prepare for them. Getting rejected because the recruiter did not properly communicate about the job is really saddening and disappointing. I hope Paycom is careful with their job descriptions and communications from the next time.
