ADP Interview Questions & Reviews in Miami, FL

Interview Details – several rounds. found out i was also interviewing with the person who i was to eventually replace. not sure either of us realized that. i interviewed with every single individual contributor on my team, DESPITE having no functional interaction with ANY of them. adpts THINKS they're process is competency behavioral interviewing--tell me about a time when you....STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) not to be answered as hypotheticals. manager had no idea how to gauge motivational fit and didn't realize we would be an awful match as she presented herself in a light (flexible, empowering, autonomous, latitude, honest, and forthcoming--because i flat out asked her questions of that nature--total politico she was) that was not reality (red pen micromanager that didn't enable support her employees AT ALL). i can assure you, its not because i was taught behavioral interviewing by an industry leader and could create the competency questions, preferred behavioral answers. the interviewing process was grueling but since its my business, it was easy for me.

onboarding was here's your job, your desk, good luck. i completed my new hire checklist and my manager let me flounder for myself. i basically not only taught myself my job but wrote my role and responsibilities aka job description.

Negotiation Details – non-existent. no flexibility whatsoever. had i not been on my last unemployment check, i would have declined and been happy to do so given the inflexible "how dare you" stance. recruiter would not let me discuss the offer with the HM. wth?

Interview Details – Applied online and was contacted by a recruited two days later. Proceeded with a phone interview with the recruiter and the following day was instructed to take an online sales/personality assessment test. The recruiter pulled the results of my online test and said I can interview with the hiring individual who would be in the region for the next two days. Met the hiring individual in a hotel lobby two days later in West Palm Beach, FL. for about 45 minutes. After meeting this hiring individual I was glad I wasn't offered the job as he was the most pompous and arrogant person I have ever met. It didn't go well because I didn't read his mind and give him the exact answers he wanted. Too many general/life questions and no focus on past sales successes, qualifications, work ethic, etc. I am a very accomplished senior level sales executive but all he wanted to know is about my specific personal goals, etc., which is fine, but no focus on if I have the ability to do the job. He actually admitted I maybe the best sales person for the position but the fact that I was a bit nervous, like most people are in an interview, and that he didn't get the exact answers he wanted to his stupid/genera/abstract questions he didn't like me personally. You live and learn I guess.

Interview Details – Very drawn out. 2 Phone Interviews, 2 In Person Interviews for a total of 4 interviews. Offered Position, Declined Position.

Reason for Declining – Competing offer within the same time frame.
