      Payroll Specialist Interview

      Sep 11, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Greenhouse Software (New York, NY) in Jul 2019

      Interview

      Greenhouse in general and recruiter AJ in particular were open, communicative, enthusiastic, and honest through the entirety of the process. Communication was clear and efficient. First an email from the coordinator, then a phone screen with the recruiter, then a phone interview with hiring manager followed by a take-home test. A few days after submitting the take-home test, I was scheduled for a ~3.5 hour block of onsite interviews including 1:1 segments with potential teammates and a more casual group chat with people outside of the department for a "culture add" interview. Once on site, I was made to feel very comfortable and was given a dedicated conference room to settle into with interviewers coming in (or in one case, conferencing in) each round. A very nice touch from a candidate perspective, as was the carafe and glass of water. Every individual was highly engaged and had given the role a lot of thought. Holidays and vacations may have extended the process a bit--4 weeks seems more typical than the 6 I experienced beginning to end. The only aspect that could perhaps be fine-tuned is the fact that there could be moments during an interview that don't quite flow conversationally. Having been on the other side of the structured interview process, though, I understand this is a consequence of asking very clearly defined questions and taking extensive notes.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Question 2

      What is an example of negative feedback you've received? How did you respond and what steps if any did you take based on the feedback?

      I’m so glad to hear about the positive experience AJ was able to create for you! And yes, we do aspire to have our interview processes run for no longer than 4 weeks, so your understanding around things taking longer than expected is much appreciated. Thank you as well for your feedback that our conversations could flow more naturally - we will continue to make this a focus in our internal interviewing trainings. --Ariana, Recruiting Manager
