I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ADP (Tempe, AZ) in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied online where I was required to provide basic information about myself. At the end of the online application an assessment on grammar is given. The next step in the process was a phone interview with a recruiter. This part of the interview consisted of education, work history, salary expectations, there were also several "story" type questions. Because the interviewer is merely transcribing the interview for a hiring manager to go over, the entire process seemed inhuman and awkward. Many times I had to repeat myself, because the interviewer hadn't been able to type everything in a timely manner. After this process another online assessment is sent to be completed. This assessment starts of with a 20 question timed (10 minute) test that assess basic math and bookkeeping skills. The second part of the test consist of 3 mock calls (which test your ability to upset, handle upset customers, and customers with late payments) that are to be completed within a 30 minute time limit. Finally there is the personality assessment that consists of around 40-60 questions. After completely this I was told I would be contacted with 1-2 weeks about whether or not I would move onto the next step of the process. 3 weeks have passed and I have yet to be contacted.

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.
