I applied online. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Boston, MA) in Oct 2020
Interview
Very casual and conversational. The partners were interested in finding out about who you were as a person rather than technical skills. They did a good job easing your nerves and making the conversation informative. Two 30 minute back to back interviews.
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
