I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Charlotte, NC) in Sep 2013
Interview
I applied for the position through campus recruiting. They held a pre-social interview before the campus interviews. Campus interview was 30 minutes, one-on-one, behavioral questions, and very conversational since we have already discussed skills and such the night before. I got called in for an office visit the next day which was held two weeks later. The office visit consisted of a dinner the night before with audit associates and you get paired up with a "buddy". The next morning I met with one partner and two senior managers. All very friendly. Asked about my resume and had some behavioral questions. The hardest question is probably, "what questions do you have for me?" because everyone you meet asks you that question. By the end of the day, I was exhausted from thinking of and asking questions. They really want to make sure you are comfortable though and reimburses you for your travel costs.

Question 1
Nothing too technical. Just behavioral. Tell me a time you had a leadership position. What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Tell me about yourself.
I applied online. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Online interview conducted using HireVue. Was emailed to schedule an in person interview. Felt fairly laid back, which was likely due to the position I was applying for since they were not expected much prior experience.

I applied online. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2025
Interview
The process was very straightforward. It was two back-to-back 30-minute behavioral interviews. My first one was with a managing director and the second one with a partner. They were both very nice.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Houston, TX)
Interview
Straightforward and very respectful! It was an hour long and more conversational than formal. Make sure to be able to answer why audit, why GT, and what you hope to gain from the internship. Prepare enough questions to keep the conversation going.
