It was very easy. Met with supervisor, manager, and VP. I was already an employee so the process was internal no background check was need. Everyone was very nice. The process was very quick because I was an internal employee.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 2 weeks)
The interview process was quick. I had a few phone interviews and then I had to fly to another city to interview personally with the hiring manager. The company paid for the trip and I was hired within a few days after the personal interview.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Tampa, FL (took 3 days)
Originally screened by recruiter, then Sr. Mgr, then in-person panel, then phone interview with Director---total of 4 interview sessions.
At the end of this I received a form letter indicating that I lacked the experience they were looking for--similar to those you receive upon initial screening. A little disheartening. Did it take them that many sessions to discover that? I felt that I didn't even rate a more tailored rejection letter.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2 months)
First expect to go through the process and then not hear back for a month. Afterward follow up is tedious because no one returns calls just an occasional email.
I got an offer but turned it down after reading the reviews here and checking up on the Company. It prompted me to do a little research on Ceridian and I am glad I did.
This is what I found from my friends that work there. No Communication from management (could explain the tedious follow up), New Product Roll-out is a joke. Entire sales force operating at a fraction of quota.
But the best part is that I found out that Ceridian Corporate Debt was downgraded to the lower recesses of "Junk Bond" Status recently to B-. I also found out that this company is owned by a venture capital company that is looking for ways to save money for obvious reasons as their cost of cash just increased.
The Company's management is disorganized in my opinion which is evident by the interview process.
I was told that if you have short term plans and Ceridian can provide you more than your current situation then i should go for it.. I would expect with the current down grading of Corporate debt to be a harbinger of a round of layoffs. As a salesman with experience in these matters if a prospect doesn't return your calls then get's bad news about their negative financial situation splattered all over the internet just prior to calling you back to sell for them, then you are just asking for trouble. I thought why make a short stint at Ceridian the topic of future interviews? These are the kinds of situations that screw up a good sales track record: Work for a company like Ceridian that is owned by a VC, whose sales are off dramatically, whose product roll outs are lame, and whose' debt has been downgraded to a point where your prospects suspect your company is not going to be there in the future and you have a recipe for disaster in my opinion.
I feel that my experience with Ceridian and after talking with current and former employees of the Company who begged me not to go there, I feel I made the right choice and "Just said No."
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Debt Rating Downgrade, Bad Employee reviews, and overall feeling that they were either going to get bought out, purge employees, or go out of business. Even friends of mine that work at Ceridian had nothing good to say about the company. I guess you could say that Ceridian didn't survive my background check.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Skills Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 2 weeks)
The person I interviewed with turned me off from the position pretty quickly. It was clear that she had someone in the position that she didn't like for whatever reason, and she wanted to make sure that the person she was hiring was willing to go above and beyond. While I am the type of person who goes above and beyond, the manager over this position made it sound as if the team I would be leading was a team that had limited resources, was overworked, and she wanted this person to pick up the slack so she could get rid of the current team lead. The questions mostly revolved around how to actually process the work and making sure someone would come in, be able to process, and work as many hours as necessary to get it all done. Overall, not good vibes about the company or work culture.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I was interviewing for a position that would have been a step down from where I currently am, so it wasn't going work out in my favor.
