Interviewed Jun 2009 in Pittsburgh, PA (took 3 months)
Phone interview with HR first. Met HR and the Sales Mgr second and I had to take a math test which was easy. Last was an interview that included the CEO. She was too laid back with no plans for growth for the company.

Interviewed May 2009 in Denver, CO (took 5 days)
Paychex seems to provide a standard interview process. I had one phone interview that led to an in-person interview with a Human Resources person. On the phone interview, the person was outgoing and friendly. Unfortunately my experience in person was not the same. The person seemed distant, a little cold and business a usual.
The in-person interview started immediately with a math test to test your basic math skills. My test consisted mostly of word problems. After the test, I spoke with the HR person. The interview discussion consisted of just asking me to talk about my work history. I found this annoying because I was asked to submit my work history in four different formats. It did not seem like the HR person read any of them and just asked me to verbally regurgitate my job history. After going through my resume for about an hour, the interview was over and I was told I'd get feedback in a few days. They delivered as promised.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Rochester, NY (took a day)
After filling out the usual paper work I took a skills test and a basic math test. If it's been awhile since you've seen some formal math it's definitely worth brushing up on those skills. Then they told me a little bit about the position, and I got to listen in on some sales calls. We then went back into a room where I told them what I thought. If you're into sales, you'll probably be ok. I wanted to see what it was all about and in the end I couldn't see myself in that job.
