      Software Engineer Interview

      19 Feb 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Arlington Heights, IL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paylocity (Arlington Heights, IL) in Jan 2013

      Interview

      Applied online through their website, which wasn't the best process (had to copy and paste the resume into a text box). Was contacted by HR for a day latter for a phone screening. Mostly job related questions (why are you looking, how did you find us, etc). Some basic technology questions as well. After that there was a tech phone screening and virtual coding exercise by a couple of engineers (one senior). The questions ran the gamut from general C#/.Net to Javascript and HTML. Did a virtual whiteboard coding exercise where they had me code a simple function where they asked questions and I iterated through the design and implementation. After that they had me come onsite and I talked with a number of managers, VP's, senior engineers and meet with the CEO. This was a great experience, talking with a lot of different people throughout the company, picking their brains and having chats with them helped me gauge the company, culture and the people. They took me to lunch and we had a relaxed casual conversation there as well. I received an offer a few days latter that I accepted after trying to get more time off and pay, both of which weren't successful. Besides that it was a positive experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Deep Javascript questions, like prototype usage, function design, implementation and pros and cons.

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      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.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      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.
