I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex (Rochester, NY) in Mar 2011
Interview
In person interviews with multiple contributors and managers. There are multiple stages to the process, phone screen, then HR interaction with hiring folks, and then actual team members for the area with the opening. Some of their internal processes are somewhat archaic and unmodified, they have every person take a standardized skills test that is applicable to office staff and not IT professionals.

Question 1
Technical questions primarily surrounding the process of development, they are an immature agile shop and have not been doing it for long, and want to know incoming employees acceptance level to this type of organization,
30 min recruiter call basic experience related questions
1 hour technical take home coding challenge review of the coding exercise and more technical basic questions
1 hour with manager behaviour questions and technical questions
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY !!! What a terrible interview process, was reached out by HR person on Linkden to interview. I said sure why not. She set me up with an interview with the hiring manager, it was totally unprofessional.
Mid way in the interview he said that he misread my resume and no longer wanted to continue the interview. Highly unethical and unprofessional interviewer. Honestly I have had better experiences when apply for waiter/sales jobs at random companies when I was a student.
