Channel Account Manager Interview

Nov 1, 2022

Anonymous Interview Candidate

Declined offer

Positive experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex (Bend, OR) in Oct 2022

Interview

Good, fast, young team but professional. Enjoyed the communication and good experience overall. Sadly pay wasn't flexible and a little too low for me to accept. Also the policy is to always start entry level and work your way up which can have benefits but also some obvious draw backs.

Interview questions [1]

Question 1

Basic questions on history and intent and what we're looking for.

Very simple. A round table interview with scenario-based questions. They ask mostly about previous interactions with co-workers as well as customers. It is a customer service job and you are dealing with payroll which can get very overwhelming
