I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paylocity (Houston, TX) in Aug 2015
Interview
The technical interview felt natural. It took place over a webcam. I interviewed with a team of three persons who wanted to get to know me and how I worked. I got to present a solution I wrote and share some cool JavaScript techniques with the team. At the end, there was an open panel with technical questions. The questions covered a broad range of technologies. The facilitator made the entire process seamless without making me feel uncomfortable. The best way to ace this interview is to come prepared to present the best solution you can come up with. The team wants to hear from you to see your enthusiasm and how you approach solutions.
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.
