Applied for the position online. Received a call for a phone interview about 1 1/2 weeks after applying. Phone interview lasted about 45 minutes. Was contacted the same day to schedule and in-person interview. Interviewed with the hiring manager and was told I’d hear back within 2 weeks. Was called to come in for a 2nd IV four days later with the hiring manager and a two other HRGs from the team. Received a call the next day offering me the position.

Screening interview, online exam, digital interview, phone interview, and then in-person interview with one to three weeks between each step in the process. No follow up after last interview. I had read that Paychex drags candidates through the mud and that is exactly what I experienced. One person told me that the position needed to be filled immediately; another said that it wasn't even open yet. The office was depressing. The interviewer was dissheveled and bombarded me with predictable questions during a wanna-be stress interview. I knew within minutes of entering the office that I didn't want to work there. The best thing about my experience with Paychex is that their endless process bought me enough time to negotiate an offer from one of their competitors, who offered me essentially the same job with significantly better pay and benefits.
