I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Paylocity (Tempe, AZ)
Interview
Zero stars - would not recommend!
In the process for almost two months, hurry up and wait from the recruiter.
Finally asked to create a retrospective presentation and a project plan to present to hiring manager. Send it in, days later the recruiter calls to say they offered the job to someone else - they didn’t even give me a chance to interview!
A friend works there and speaks so highly of the company - but their recruitment process is a FARCE. This is the second time I’ve applied to this company and been totally jerked around. I won’t be applying again!
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Paylocity (Bengaluru) in June 2025
Interview
The interview was of 3 rounds. First round was to understand my experience and get to know about the role. Second round was assignment guidance (where they would give an assignment and guide how to solve it). Third round is assignment review. But after submitting assignment they never replied back.
Multiple people in every interview with no shared goal or direction. Felt like they were just shooting from the hip. Each interview described the role differently. I left each one confused and unsure of how I fit.
Had a phone screen with the recruiter. They weren't able to tell me about the role at all and said I'd discuss that next with the hiring manager.
Said the interview process would be 45mins with hiring manager, 60 mins with a panel, and 30mins with a director.
They said the process could be quick (3 weeks) if schedules align.
After a week I hadn't heard back about next steps, so I reached out. Took a couple more days and they responded with the standard of going with other candidates.
I wouldn't interview with this company again in the future. If a candidate spends time prepping for an interview, the least the company can do is spend 2 mins writing an email with feedback on why they didn't move forward so they can learn.
