Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 weeks)
Phone Interview w/ Recruiter for Screening (25 min)
1:1 with Hiring Manager
Ride with ADP Rep
Phone Interview with Regional VP
1:1 with Hiring Manager which included Presentation on the Field Ride. Offer was made.
Drug Test and Background Check
Overall the experience was thorough. You should really research the company and be ready to share your thoughts on what your learning. One recommendation is be very clear on what you want to accomplish as well as your story. What makes you YOU! What makes you special, what makes your experience a value add to ADP. If you can sell your story, you can sell ADP's solutions.
Negotiation Details
I would do your homework on what your region/territory is being offered. Talk to reps that are in your office, especially on the field ride if you have built a solid report with the rep your riding with. If there is something you want to negotiate, have that conversation face to face with the hiring manager.
Other Details

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 1+ week)
First Interview: The first step is an in person interview with the branch manager and someone else.
Second Interview: 1) Two consecutive 1:1 interviews, one 2:1 interview, 1 roleplay, 1 ride along. The interview process is from 8 am - 5 pm
The interviews aren't too hard, but some people will try to be tough on you. It's some basic and some more in depth stuff.

Reason for Declining
It's a great job with a great company, but I've done the door to door gauntlet in an internship before. It honestly sucks.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Clackamas, OR (took 4 weeks)
contacted by recruiter, brief interview with recruiter, phone interview with ADP hiring rep, panel interview with local managers, presentation to local managers, final meeting to discuss offer. I was impressed with the process as it was very professional but the people were approachable, good blend of professionalism and personality. My advice for other candidates would be to be yourself (not necessarily looking for a cookie-cutter individual) and ask questions.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I didn't negotiate as the real income in this position is generated through sales, so I was less concerned with the base (which is not significant enough to take the position on that basis). The opportunity to make money through commission is why it is a good job.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Richmond, VA (took 2 months)
After applying online and then passing a phone interview, I was told I needed to take personality and IQ tests. I took both and passed them. Then I was set up for the face to face. The meeting was with two sales managers and they wanted to know all the basic info about me and why I was looking etc. They really are looking to see how nervous you get and if you have a good personality. I closed the interview by asking to see what I can do to move forward. I was then given a ride along. This is again another personality test. You will actually sit through a presentation. For the most part you keep quiet but don't just sit there. I passed that and then I had another face to face. Now I had to put together a presentation. This is basically a report you generate to try and gain new business. They give you some vague guidelines but they really want to see your presentation skills. Here is where I had issues. I knew someone that worked there so they were expecting me to have a more ADP style presemtation. I kind of thought that was cheating in a way so I didn't. I think another factor was that I had very little experience. I was 3 years out of college. I ended up going through a series of interviews with Small Accounts and getting an offer but it was too low. Best advice is, if you know someone at ADP talk to them and get all the details, talk with your recruiter frequently and follow up, always ask for another interview. One question I would have though is how people are doing that have been there for a while. The salary I was told was 75k but then would drop to 40 plus commission. It does seem there is some turnover. Everyone seemed very nice though and it appeared like an overall good experience.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 3 days)
It was a very rushed hiring process. The national recruiter (unpleasant!) & local office recruiter wanted me to meet within 2 days, & they both rushed their entire interviews. In-person interview only had a few legitimate questions. I wasn't even able to start working yet but they rushed me.

The interview was great. The people were very friendly. I didn't receive an offer because I wasn't graduating from college till the following semester, and they were looking to hire immediately.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 2 days)
The phone interview process was very informative and had interesting conversations with 2 different people within the company. They were bopth very friendly and presented themselves very well over the phone. The role they were looking to fill was not exactly what I was looking for. They suggested another role that might be a potential fit in the future.
