I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paylocity
Interview
Very Organized Process.
1) I worked with a recruiter to get introduced to the company. There was a slight technical screening with the recruiter.
2) From there I had a video interview & whiteboard session where I had to speak with 2 developers and do a coding exercise along with answering high level technical questions.
3) I then had to speak with the director of the department.
4) After her approval I came in for a face to face interview with a set of people from a specific team. This involved in depth technical questions and would have included white boarding if the office had been available that had the white board.
5) They collectively reviewed my interview & background and determined that my skill set was ideal for another team. There was one final phone interview with the members of that team to make sure I was a good fit for the team.
6) Then I received an offer.
They really strive for the best people so the process goes deep. The end result is worth it because they take care in fitting you to the right team, project, and technologies.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I had explained some work I had done on a project. I had explained the process that I took to coming up with the best design to fit our needs. At the end they asked me what I would have done differently if I could do it again.
Relatively easy and conversational “Walk me through your background.”
“Why are you interested in this role?”
“What’s your experience with project coordination or SDLC?
They evaluate:
How you think
How you communicate
How you handle ambiguity
Whether you fit their team’s workflow
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Paylocity (Bengaluru) in Feb 2026
Interview
First round was a Hiring Manager round in which he asked about tech stack, and more about the way of working. Nothing technical, just process related questions. I felt like he was more interested in tools and technologies used.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Paylocity in Aug 2025
Interview
The first round was a Recruiter screen, Second was an at-home technical challenge, which had 30 minutes to complete 20 questions (mostly multiple choice) about C# language-specific syntax. Very strange technical test. Definitely more suited to those who may have just completed a bootcamp or recently read a textbook.

Only one coding question. Find the max value in an array. lmfao.
