      QA Engineer Interview

      23 Dec 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Tucson, AZ
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Paylocity (Tucson, AZ) in Dec 2019

      Interview

      The first interview is over the phone with their Recruiter, whom does work for Paylocity ( not outside vendor), it's the basic screening type interview. If you move on, they will give you a an assignment that needs to be completed 24 prior to the group interview and they use it as talking points for that interview. The assignment is a basic test site, and they want you to write up testcases, any bugs you find and then a automate the testing of the site with whatever tool, language or framework you want. They also give you a list of various questions from the team in general around quality assurance and testing. The actual group technical interview is a few hours of going over the assignment. They will also present you with some code samples to review and describe what they are doing. If that goes well, then the Recruiter will let you know and one last interview part, that is not really an interview more of an informational session with a the head of the department you'll be working for and if all goes well they will send you an offer.

      QA Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Positive experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paylocity in May 2020

      Interview

      The interview process in Paylocity is excellent. The first step is technical screening with one of the recruiters from Patlocity, and if it goes well, you will receive QA Challenge, which you need to finish before your group interview. The second step is a group interview. Lead QA and Senior QA interviewed me. They want to know more about your background and to walk them through your QA challenge.

      QA Engineer Interview

      5 Apr 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Schaumburg, IL
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paylocity (Schaumburg, IL) in Mar 2019

      Interview

      I was approached by their TA person on LinkedIn. Had a phone screen where we discussed about my skills, company culture etc. I was given a QA challenge which I completed by creating my own test framework, writing tests etc. It was a good challenge and they tell you to go easy on it but you have to work on it hard and make sure it works. Then I had video interview with two of their QA one us senior and one us lead aa. interview lasted about 1.5hrs where we discussed my skills and their team dynamics for 1hr. next half hour we went through my code challenge. Interviewers literally wowed at some areas of my challenge solution. they were friendly and talked very nice and almost made me feel that I landed this job. However, their TA sent me email to reconnect. At this point I was sure I hit the job. She then called me and said I needed to brush up on some skills that interviewees actually liked. They are responsive and transparent about the process but they didnt really help me understand why I wasn't a good fit. she gave me reasons when I asked but she said I lack few skills that they require which were my strongest skills (have references that back me up on that). so overall process was good but their decision is very confusing that is all. didnt get what they are really expecting.
