I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Paychex (San Diego, CA) in Sep 2016
Interview
Screening interview, online exam, digital interview, phone interview, and then in-person interview with one to three weeks between each step in the process. No follow up after last interview. I had read that Paychex drags candidates through the mud and that is exactly what I experienced. One person told me that the position needed to be filled immediately; another said that it wasn't even open yet. The office was depressing. The interviewer was dissheveled and bombarded me with predictable questions during a wanna-be stress interview. I knew within minutes of entering the office that I didn't want to work there. The best thing about my experience with Paychex is that their endless process bought me enough time to negotiate an offer from one of their competitors, who offered me essentially the same job with significantly better pay and benefits.
