I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (New York, NY)
Interview
First interview was with HR. Mainly just behavioral questions, but she tried to ask some technical questions which she clearly had written down to remember and was taking notes on the answers (probably because she wasn’t sure if what I was saying was correct). A little standoffish. Told me at the end that they would get back to me on whether they thought I was a good fit to continue with the interviews. Found that to be a little funny. If you can count to five, you should be able to make it past an HR interview.
I went in for a day of interviews. Met with a Manager, Sr. Manager, Partner and Sr. Associate (I was interviewing for a Manager role). The interview with the manager lasted the longest. Nothing hard, but it just seemed like this guy was trying to prove that he knew his stuff. Sr. Manager was ok. Didn’t seem to care much and he was probably told that morning that he would interview me so not too familiar with my background. Asked me to tell him about myself, some follow-up questions and was out of there in about 20 minutes. The interview with the partner was pretty easy. He mainly told me about the group and role and asked what clients I worked on at PwC. The interview with the senior was the most interesting one. It lasted for about an hour. She was probably the most interested in knowing about my background, what kind of work I had done, how I had developed staff and anything else about me as a person. She seemed like she was desperately looking for a good person to work for which worried me about the dynamics of the group. They seemed to be all over the place.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Paris)
Interview
Le processus de l'entretien est rapide et efficace. Ils sont très professionnels et les questions posées sont très pertinentes. J'ai l'impression ils ont vraiment regardé mon CV avant de faire l'entretien, qui n'est pas toujours le cas chez d'autres cabinets.
Interviews were not hard but took more than two months. Went through 4 rounds of interviews just for them to ghost me. So rude and unprofessional. Clearly they dont care about their people or people trying to join.
