Initial Interview with recruiter, 2nd interview with Vice President, final interview role play. My first two interviews went well. The final interview I felt like the person interviewing already had their mind made up and didn't want to hire me to begin with. I was told I was interviewing with one person and then a third person I never met was thrown in. The energy was off from the beginning. He drilled me on the number of sales I had, which I didn't know that information off the top of my head considering my current job is about revenue, not number of sales. I was so put off by his energy I forgot I had my brag book with my sales, rankings and commission pay stubs to show what I brought to my organization. He asked what other companies I was interviewing for and I was thinking why does that matter if I am here interviewing with you. The 2 women I interviewed with didn't make me feel like that, they were pleasant and had good energy. I didn't receive a offer but if I had to work for that manager I didn't want the position.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ADP (Independence, OH) in Nov 2025
Interview
Awful interview process overall. Was rushed through the interview process during the holidays. 5 interviews were had, and on the 5th interview, a 45 minute presentation was required. Was told after the 5th interview that they would have a decision by the end of the week or early the week after. Here we are 3 weeks later. As much as they may seem like they really want you and think you’re the perfect candidate, they don’t and you’re not. You’re just a number. You don’t mean anything. Should have listened to all of my peers around me when they said ADP is an awful company to work with and work for. Do better.
The interview process started with a screening call with a recruiter. Then a preliminary phone interview followed by a video interview with a hiring manager. The final round was in person and included a shadow dial session and a practice pitch in front of a group of hiring managers.
It was a fairly Standard SAAS interview. First there is an Initial screening with HR, followed by more in depth with sales executive, final one usually with VP. Appreciated that there was clear and good communication on next steps through out the process.
