I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Coral Gables, FL) in Oct 2015
Interview
First interview very conversational. Mostly behavioral questions, "what would you do if..." type of questions. Very relaxed setting and seemed genuinely interested in my answers. He would ask questions based off my answers to other questions. Example: What is your greatest accomplishment? *My answer* next question: What helped you get there? Stuff like that. Very conversational and not intimidating at all
The first round of interviews was a group interview with four people, followed by an English essay. Neither the interview questions nor the essay topic had anything to do with auditing, and the interview questions seemed to be fixed; some interviewees even knew the questions beforehand. If that's true, I think it's unfair.
The interview process at Grant Thornton typically involves multiple stages, including an initial phone screening, a behavioral interview, and a technical or case-based assessment. Candidates may also meet with managers or partners. The process emphasizes cultural fit, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities, often concluding with a final round or offer discussion
