Interview questions [1]
Question 1
My interview process had several fit questions one would expect such as: strength and weakness; provide an example of when you went over and beyond on a project; please discuss a time when you had to overcome diversity to accomplish your goal; what is your greatest accomplishment, and discuss; discuss any team projects you have (ties into other questions); On this team project, how did you manage someone who did not complete their assignment
Fast and quick as the interview and offer was given on the same day. Overall mostly questions from the resume and just be prepared to walk through them. Abit of technical stuff as well.
They asked very basic questions related to accounting and finance . They asked to solve a bank recon and case study in my second round and final was personal interview
Great process thru and thru. The interviewers were very knowledgable. at first i was nervous but the partners were really personable as well which made it easier. i think that this is also what ultimately made me want to join the firm
