I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Zenefits (Tempe, AZ) in Aug 2016
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter within two days of submitted an online application, and was then scheduled to come into their office for a two hour interview. I met with four people, and one of them didn't even know which position I was applying for. It was extremely awkward, and although two of the four people I met were super friendly, this definitely isn't the type of culture I'd want to be a part of. You can only sound so enthusiastic about working 12 hour days with HR software. I think the reason as to why I didn't get the position was because I couldn't give a sufficient number of reasons as to why I wanted to work for their company. Your product is HR software, not Google, guys.

Interview
The recruiter was very friendly and scheduled me for a three hour interview at the office after I completed a screening phone interview with her.
I was set to interview with four separate people and then complete an online activity about how I'd respond to separate emails. Although I thought the interview with three of the folks went well, one of the folks I met with was very cold. I believe that she also happened to be the director of payroll, and I felt extremely uncomfortable around her. I never throw the race card around, but I think that she would've been much more friendlier if I wasn't of Hispanic decent. Needless to say, I wasn't offered the position despite having almost two years of similar work experience, a bachelor's degree, and stellar references.

Interview
It involved a phone interview, followed by a 2 and a half on site interview with 3 people in person and one via Skype. After my time there I reached out and thanked the recruiters for their time. On the phone the job sounded amazing, but what they seemed to want was employees who don't really have a family or outside life, outside of the job and the 12-14 hours that you would be required to work, daily. I but I found the process rather long and time consuming. And the canned response email I received as for the reason for not being offered the position was rather confusing, I was praised for my experience and skills but was told I wasn't the "right fit" at this time. No elaboration was provided. I decided not to pursue, because ultimately I knew I could do better and found a better position elsewhere that allowed for more of a balance between work and my personal life.
