Interview
The hiring and interview process is very extensive and takes anywhere from 3-4 weeks. You initially complete the online application for the desired position. If your experience fits the position, it may take a week or longer to get a call from recruiter. Another week to be scheduled for testing and an initial interview... possibly another week for a 2nd interview. Once you offered the job and you accept, they will still need to process your background check, drug test, etc. This can take at least a week or more... pray they don't loose your drug sample or you are looking at more delays. They are definitely following a written hiring process but it takes a little too long and you can get discouraged waiting through it all.

Nothing really unexpected. Standard behavior type questions. How did you react to upset client and how did you resolve the issue? What was the outcome?

Interview
You apply online, get a screen interview and then final remote interview. With three others management, you try to tell a story about your experience. Seemed ok, but for a well qualified candidate, not offered was strange.
I applied online. I interviewed at Paychex (Greensboro, NC) in May 2022
Interview
I had a phone screening. Then, they approached me via email to schedule a online interview. I scheduled it, got the confirmation email and was online 15 minutes early. No one ever showed up. I contacted my recruiter via email, I didn’t get a response. Then contacted the interviewer twice via email to see what happened and I haven’t gotten a response from him either and it’s been a few days.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Paychex
Interview
I needed to come back two separate times for in person interviews because they couldn't schedule all of the interviewers at the same time, this was a little frustrating but they were easy interviews if you can sell your customer service.
