I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ADP (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2018
Interview
I was first contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn about the position. We scheduled a phone screen the next day. The following week I came into the office for an in-person interview with the VP of sales. I had waited in the lobby for him for 45 minutes because he had a meeting that went late. But this interview was pretty quick and easy. Make sure you prepare and are knowledgeable on what the company does, not just payroll. Be prepared to explain why you want to work in sales and that you are very motivated. I got along great with him and I was moved onto the next round of interviews with was a ride along with a sales rep the following Monday. Ride along was from about 8am-3:30pm, you should have really good questions ready to ask, show your interest as well. The end of the day was a sales role play and interview. They give you a scenario and you have to respond instantly. They basically just want to see how you react and if you'd be coachable as well. Finally after that I had a call with the VP of sales a few days later and accepted the position. Following that is background check and drug test.

Interview
If you are a driven salesperson, you may want to reevaluate wasting your time applying to ADP. I made it to the final stage in the interview process (the sales role play) and was randomly called beforehand, and told that they decided to move in another direction and that I was no longer being considered for employment. The process was almost 2 weeks of frequent interviews (2 phone screenings, 2 separate in-person interviews, a sales ride-along (going for a field ride with one of the current sales reps at the company). If you are actively looking, and schedule multiple interviews per week, do not waste your time interviewing with ADP. All your time will be dedicated to them! I saw other reviews on here saying that the ride-along is only a few hours, at least in my situation, it was ALL DAY. My ride-along was scheduled for 9:30 and lasted until 5PM. All UNPAID. Not to mention I feel like I was set up for failure when, 15 minutes into my ride along, the rep told me that I shouldn't speak to customers and just "let him do all the work." Since I'm currently in the job market, I've faced rejection before; but nothing ever like this. The unprofessionalism throughout the whole process makes me surprised that companies like this even exist. The interviewers act like they are gods, and speak down to you during the interviews. This includes asking degrading and disrespectful questions The ones I have included in this review are REAL questions that I was asked. I wasted so much time for them to tell me that they're moving "in a different direction." Keep in mind, for ADP you are selling a payroll software solution, and if this is the kind of effort they require just to sell for them, you may want to consider other sales positions.

Question 1
You seem like you get everything that you want, what makes you think you deserve this position?
You know, I don't even need to hire right now. I'm just feeling out the current talent in the area. If I don't need to hire, why should I still consider you?

Interview
Over the phone interview with recruiter then an in depth interview with the VP of Sales for the branch, then if they think you are a good fit after that, you get brought in for a ride along type day and a final interview/role play, which is easy if you are comfortable with that sort of thing(which you should be, this is sales)
