      Outside Sales Representative Interview

      La Palma, CA

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at ADP (La Palma, CA) in Sep 2021

      Interview

      I'd like to preface this by saying the interview process is so bad that I'm writing this after the 3rd of 4 rounds. I am in genuine shock that ADP does as well as they do operating like this. Every interview I had, the interviewer showed up a minimum of 5 minutes late another showed up nearly 20 minutes late (one never showed up at all nor sent any notice of cancellation!) which is incredibly unprofessional and demotivating to perform any type of services for them after such treatment. Considering this, I have to wonder if their representatives make it a common occurrence to be grotesquely late to client meetings and appointments. Albeit all this, I attempted to keep an open mind throughout the process, doing my best in each interview, yet still feeling completely shut down and belittled by their staff who acted like they were the greatest thing since sliced bread, which in case you were wondering they are very far from. My advice: save your time and apply to an organization where you feel valued and not like a useless cog in the dysfunctional ADP wheel.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me three short term and three long term goals. Give me an example of your competitiveness. Give me an example of a time you overcame adversity and how. Tell me about a past coach or sport and what you learned. Tell me how you work under pressure.

      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at ADP (La Palma, CA)

      Interview

      They are very aggressive and quick to get you on board which could be a good thing and a bad thing. The job posting is not very transparent. They might make you drive outside of your territory and even do door to door sales when it never explicitly said on the application. It's decent pay, but it's a grind since the job is full cycle sales.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at ADP (Irvine, CA) in May 2025

      Interview

      The qualifying call is standard, and then they want you to attend an in-person meeting with around 5 reps and shadow if you move on to the next round. Great experience, and everyone was really nice!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      One of the things they asked is to tell them something you could teach them to see if you're able to sell it to them.
