The interview process started with a insanely lengthy stress test, which consisted of answering middle school level math problems while trying to read emails and determining which ones you needed to remember to answer the "reply to." The emails came in about 6 at a time and you had roughly 60 seconds to answer those while trying to understand the lengthy math problems that came in at the same time with 60 seconds to answer. Make sure you check your browser requirements before you start the test, because if it's not a 100% your test wonât load or will only partially load, and having to ask for them to restart the test for you is really embarrassing.
If you pass the test which takes about an hour to complete, you get a phone interview. The face to face interview was a panel interview that consisted of a few department heads in the company, where they asked me a few of the same questions that were asked in the phone interview. It seems to be a super casual atmosphere. Before I left they stated the next step would have been meeting the CEO. I felt it was odd that they mentioned the next step at all if I wasn't being considered. The atmosphere and job seems like it would be a great place for the right person. They mention in the interview that the company pays for all your benefits in full, which is cool. I'm not sure how "unlimited time off" works, but they stressed in the interview that end of quarter and end of year are super crucial so I would assume those would be blackout dates.My best advice is to prepare to do a lot of talking during that group interview- and maybe prepare a question for each department head as I believe they have multiple positions open. It seems like it could be a great entry level position for someone right out of college.
I felt like a lot of the questions asked didn't give me great insight about the position I was applying for, and honestly I was confused about what the position was. They listed it as a "payroll tax specialist" but kept saying it had nothing to do with payroll.
