Interview
The interview process was messy. I applied for an audit associate position, but during the initial interview they mentioned that they will put me down as applying for a senior position. But then went ahead and rejected me for that senior position since I didn't have enough years of experience. Then they went on to say that they currently don't need audit associates, just seniors. However, they called back after a month and said they do need associates. At that point, I've already accepted elsewhere. Very confusing and unorganized
I was shortlisted after completing the assessment test and was then invited for an interview with the partner. The partner was kind, friendly, and approachable, which made the interview feel comfortable. The interview was relatively short and focused mainly on getting to know my background, experiences, and interest in the role.
