I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paylocity
Interview
I only completed two interviews, but did not get the job. The first interview was a telephone interview with their Corporate Recruiter. The interview was basic qualification questions and used to assess you skills at a high level.
The second interview was a technical interview with three other people over a software called hirevue. The interviewers were very nice and friendly and all liked working at Paylocity. There were two questions that I was asked. Here is the first one
1. Write a method that takes in a collection/list of objects and returns the sums all of the Integers that are found within the collection. This method should be mission critical and we would expect to a reasonable degree that the method would not throw any unnecessary exceptions
2 (I don't have the exact wording) There are three kinds of parking spaces (car, motorbike, and handicapped) as well as three types of automobiles (car, motobike, and handicapped). With that, design a parking lot with rules on what type of car can park in a parking spot.
As a follow to question two, I was asked how I would go about randomly generating a parking lot for testing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most unexpected question was how I would randomize a parking lot.
Relatively easy and conversational “Walk me through your background.”
“Why are you interested in this role?”
“What’s your experience with project coordination or SDLC?
They evaluate:
How you think
How you communicate
How you handle ambiguity
Whether you fit their team’s workflow
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Paylocity (Bengaluru) in Feb 2026
Interview
First round was a Hiring Manager round in which he asked about tech stack, and more about the way of working. Nothing technical, just process related questions. I felt like he was more interested in tools and technologies used.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Paylocity in Aug 2025
Interview
The first round was a Recruiter screen, Second was an at-home technical challenge, which had 30 minutes to complete 20 questions (mostly multiple choice) about C# language-specific syntax. Very strange technical test. Definitely more suited to those who may have just completed a bootcamp or recently read a textbook.

Question 1
Only one coding question. Find the max value in an array. lmfao.
