I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ADP (Milwaukee, WI) in Jan 2016
Interview
The entire process was intense, but in my opinion, worthwhile. I think it's designed to weed out the people who are using this job as a stepping stone to another industry/job. I was very clear on each step of the 5 step process (#1 phone screen with recruiter, #2 in-person interview with Sales Exec, #3 in-person with Vice President, #4 Ride Along with Rep, #5 Final Presentation) and there were no surprises along the way. If you truly prepare for the interviews by researching the company, you'll be ready for the questions they ask. The ride-along was very beneficial to me since it gave me the opportunity to ask the day-to-day questions and observe 'a day in the life'. I found a TON of resources on LinkedIn, youtube, and on ADP's website to help me prepare for the interviews and final presentation. Be ready to discuss your sales numbers, if you have them. Be genuine (and confident) and you should do great!

Question 1
Tell me about your past work experience and how it applies to this 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.
