Paylocity Manager interview questions

A many, many step interview process followed by developing a strategy plan and presenting it to team members. All for an individual contributor role. As icing on the cake, after the presentation, I heard nothing and then many weeks later got an automated HR email saying the position was filled. I was among the final candidates. Absolutely appalling.

The process last very long, it stretched about 3 weeks. The initial phone screen from recruitment. Then a 1:1 phone screen with the hiring manager. Next was an in-person panel review and lunch. That was a half a day ordeal, but nice. After that a video interview with an executive. Then another 1:1 phone screen with the hiring manager. Finally a personality test online. I invested a lot of time for no job offer, I guess that's the disheartening part. I would have liked to have been told the first week, that way it would save everyone's time. If I wasn't currently working it wouldn't be that bad, but having a job and having to spend that about of time, plus the time researching the company, it's a huge commitment.
