I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex (Rochester, NY) in Jun 2014
Interview
The first day I had a group interview with the people I would be working with, then with the 2 department managers. 2 weeks later I returned to take an aptitude test and for an interview with their manager. I didn't hear anything for 2 weeks, then I got a call from HR with an offer.
The interviews were fairly standard fare. The group interview was mostly about team fit. I had previously interaction with the managers on a contract gig so the interaction with them was casual. The interview with the next level manager was to confirm their choice.
This department changed to an programming aptitude test instead of the Paychex math test so often talked about. It was logic based and I thought it was a fun diversion. A couple of sample questions:
- here's a list of steps and a desired outcome - order the steps
- here's a list of business rules and several scenarios - how should the scenarios be processed
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex (Rochester, NY) in Mar 2011
Interview
In person interviews with multiple contributors and managers. There are multiple stages to the process, phone screen, then HR interaction with hiring folks, and then actual team members for the area with the opening. Some of their internal processes are somewhat archaic and unmodified, they have every person take a standardized skills test that is applicable to office staff and not IT professionals.
