Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked me to explain the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows and describe their relationship. Also asked me what I would do if I won the lottery for $500,000,000
Video Interview -> Superday (one round more behavioural one more CV based), be thorough with CV and should be good, rest are general behavioral questions like what will you do in a team where there isn't consensus etc
Hirevue, then reference check, then 3-round Superday online. Was asked mostly behavioral questions though occasional drillings into basic finance and accounting concepts. Positive experience, call back from recruiter following interview.
Application, Virtual interview, Virtual super day. Everyone was very friendly and seemed easy-going. It was interesting to be interviewing over Zoom but the company did a good job of trying to make it feel like a normal interview.
