Interview
I was interviewed with a very young senior manager- sustainability at Grant Thornton online in Australia. She aggressively was asking questions from the start without explaining the role and company which was quite vague. All the questions were about how to get clients and how to inspire them to work with us in the sustainability field which was not relevant to the role (at least based on the job description). I also attended the case study assessment (online) and we were 9 including 3 from the same company. One of the internal applicants the whole time was smiling at the camera and was like doing nothing which was very ridiculous as we had only 1 hour to write 2/3 pages. After the interview we (the applicants attended the case study assessment) were in contact together and they felt the same about the process being fishy. It was obvious that they wanted to get the internal employee and this process was only about passing the requirements for job recruitment. None of the internal employees were in the field. Do not apply for the roles in this company as they already have someone in mind whether you are better or not.

Question 1
All the questions were about how to get clients and how to inspire them to work with us plus 2-3 behavioral questions
They were friendly, but I was bombarded with tax technical questions. I don’t feel like they made an effort to get to know me. The first 20 minutes were solely focused on tax concepts, which is understandable for a tax position. However, it’s important to strike a balance and also get to know the candidate during the initial interview round.
