I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Paychex in Aug 2010
Interview
My initial communication was great. The person who did the phone interview was very professional and personable. I then met with the hiring manager. He was also great but then the process broke down and caused me to question whether or not I'd want to work for them at all if I were to receive an offer. After the first in-person interview I was told I would hear something within 2 weeks but I didn't hear anything for 3 weeks. Then, the hiring manager asked to meet with me in person again. We did meet and, based on how well the interview went, I expected an offer. I didn't hear back at all from the company until over a month later when I received an email telling me I wasn't getting an offer.
By the time I received the email, I was so relieved! I was not impressed with how the interview process was handled at all. It took far too long and the level of communication was less than ideal. I feel like I dodged a bullet. Not impressed.
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Paychex (Houston, TX) in Apr 2011
