I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Brookfield (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2008
Interview
There was only one interview. The VP& Controller and one Senior Accountant were interviewing me. I answered all of the questions. But I felt the VP did not fully prepare the interview as she did not read or forget most of the details on my resume and asked some questions that are not related to my situation.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
You said that you had reviewed corportate tax returns for 50 companies, I don't believe it as you will have no time to sleep. Could you please tell me how you manage to do this?
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Brookfield in Aug 2023
Interview
Set up an interview with a HR person for 2 days later. Day of interview arrived, 30 minutes went by, no show. I made repeated efforts to email the person and didn't receive any response. Extremely disrespectful and unprofessional to not give any notice or any apology. Safe to assume they ghosted me, which I haven't experienced up to this point.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Brookfield (New York, NY)
Interview
Was quite long, drawn out - not a lot of feedback. I ended up taking a different offer before they could make one... if they were going to make one that is...

Question 1
ME Close process, consolidated reporting experience etc.
I was referred by my friend, so skipped the HR interview so did virtual interview with the Controller for 45 min.
Very nice conversation, mainly asked about my previous work experience
