I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Baker Tilly (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2011
Interview
Applied online. Got an email about 1.5 months after to setup a phone interview with a Project Manager. Had a great phone call, it lasted about 1 hour. The interview basically tested my background and gave me a brief overview of the firm's goals and new business initiatives.
About a week later I was invited to interview at their Chicago headquarters. This interview consisted of a morning group information session, followed by 3 1-on-1 interviews with managers, and finally lunch with a senior consultant and two other interviewees at a nice restaurant. The interviews were pretty laid back. It was clear that they were concerned about background, experience, other firms I was considering, and what I knew about the firm's management consulting group.
I applied online. I interviewed at Baker Tilly (New York, NY) in Jan 2026
Interview
Disorganized, slow to respond. Not a good look for Baker Tilly. Recruiting team took over a week to respond beyond when they said they would. They assumed I was applying for one location and ended the process without actually asking me why I applied for where the role was. Recruiter didn't seem to know what their practice did. I ended up giving up on the process.

Tell me about your background, give us more detail about what we have on your resume. What prior knowledge do you have of Baker Tilly?
Very dry interviewers. Recruiter said I did great and after my interviews they stated they were not hiring anyone for the role due to macro uncertainties. Recruiter seemed upset as well about the circumstances.

Question 1
Why consulting? And how has your experience made you confident you could succeed in this role.
2 interviewers, mostly behavioral questions. Did not ask any technical/case related questions. Curious about how you solved problems, but wanted to know if you would be a good fit for the company.
