I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ADP (Maitland, FL) in June 2016
Interview
The whole process was a nightmare.
I was interviewed over the phone for about 45 mins. I was then invited to an in-person interview in Maitland, FL (I live in NYC). I had to make travel arrangements (airfare, hotel, car rental) in less than a week (which I did not mind because I felt very confident in my qualifications, and because they had considered me even when I was out of state). In Maitland, I met with: the recruiter (briefly), and two managers (a woman and a man). When I met with the managers, they seemed very un-engaged (nodding their heads like robots), and one of them was somewhat sarcastic (the man). I was asked the typical interview questions, which I answered. I met with the managers for about 45 mins. After the interview, the woman escorted me out of the office and thanked me for coming in. After two days, I received the dreaded "thank you for your time, but you're no longer being considered for this position" email. I followed up the email with an email seeking feedback, but also letting them know that they needed to best weed out their candidates (specially when the candidates were from out of state like me... it could save us money and time -- travel arrangements). I never received a response from them in regards to my email.

Interview
3 rounds of interview, after which I received the call. The interview process was walk in, in which the waiting time is a bit longer but, that’s because of the number of people that showed up maybe.

The Worst Interview Experience – Lack of Transparency and Professionalism
The interview process was one of the most disorganized experiences I've ever had. Initially, they called candidates one by one for the first round. When my name was called, I stepped in and was asked for a basic self-introduction, current salary, work experience, and notice period. The interviewer, Sunil, noted everything down without even making eye contact or acknowledging us properly.
For the second round, a group of candidates, were asked to move to the first floor and wait. However, I wasn’t called along with the first batch that went upstairs. I assumed I'd be called once they were done — but to my surprise, I was called while still sitting in the lobby, even though the first-floor candidates were still waiting.
The second-round interview involved basic questions about previous roles, family background, and hobbies. I answered all of them clearly. Still, I was unexpectedly rejected for these standard questions — with no feedback or reason given.
Even more frustrating was what happened with my friend. He was called before me for the interview, but we later found out that the interviewer had not even received his interview summary. They then asked him to wait again. After hours of waiting with no communication, we had to approach them ourselves, only to be told we’d receive an update via email or phone. It’s been days, and there’s been no follow-up at all.
This was truly a terrible experience. If you're going to invite candidates, at least be transparent and respectful of their time. People take time off, travel, and come with expectations — the least you can do is offer clarity and communication.
Ghosting candidates after interviews is unprofessional. This entire process was disheartening and poorly managed.
