I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ADP (Bloomington, MN) in Aug 2022
Interview
I was first reached out to by a recruiter on Linkedin. They set up a 15 minute phone interview, where they simply get to know you and verify that you have the qualifications they are looking for. Next I met with Britt, the VP of the Minneapolis SBS division. This was a 30 minute interview where they asked more in depth questions regarding experience. After that second interview I got invited to the 3rd and final interview. This was with my current manager, as well as one additional manager. The 3rd interview was entirely a role play. Before the roleplay, ADP will send you an outline on how the presentation will go. You basically are selling ADP products to these two people so they can evaluate your sales process. After that I closed for the job, they told me they liked me but needed to check a few things out, and then they called me an hour after the 3rd Interview to offer me a job.

Interview
Overall I would have to say, Interviewing with this company was a waste of time, energy and effort. In short they are unprofessional and rude. In my opinion it was one of the worst interviewing experiences I have ever had and unless you have cold calling experience do not even waste your time.
The process consisted of a phone screen, a personality/intelligence test, an interview with a recruiter and regional VP, a ride along (whole day), and supposedly a role play. I got through to the supposed role play, however it was not a role play or if it was it was not a set up role play where they gave me a product to sell it. The only way I could make sense of it being a role play was there was one manager who was nice and one who was rude, unprofessional and arrogant. (maybe potentially acting like a client or customer you call on who doesn't give you the time of day!
I had several experiences that ultimately turned me off to the company. Over hearing a manager cuss out a rep using the f word and all. Having the manager of the area I was interviewing for act like a rude hot shot who made me wait for my interview over an hour then tells me I caught HIM at a bad time. VERY POOR follow up.. basically I did all the follow up which was fine, its a sales job and I get in the job you will have to have good follow up skills.
Overall- words to the wise- Have cold call experience. Know interviewing with this company is one big game... be pushy, be an arrogant, thats clearly what they like. Do all the follow up because they suck at it. Be on time, but know you will have to wait and wait and wait for your interviews. Know they are very disorganized and unprofessional, so don't expect much at all.
Word to the company. A potential employee is interviewing you just as much as you are interviewing them. Anyone with a good head on their shoulders would be turned off by the way your present yourself and your company. Get you sh*t together and play the game like professionals would.
