I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex (Rochester, NY) in Feb 2013
Interview
Went through two rounds of easy going and generally mild interviews. Everything was pretty standard, my advice would be to basically just to make them think you're a good personality to work with since anything job related you're learn on site.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex (Rochester, NY) in Mar 2015
Interview
The process was very quick and streamline. I had my first interview with two Supervisors (there were two positions open) and two separate second interviews with each Manager. The interviewers were very straight forward with what the position entailed and how I would fit into the company.
