      Staff Accountant Interview

      12 Feb 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Denver, CO
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Hitachi Vantara (Denver, CO) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      Initially contacted for phone interview within a couple of days with HR. The phone interview was set up within another few days and went fine. After an additional couple of weeks, I received an email from HR that I was being forwarded to another individual in HR to schedule an interview with the hiring manager. I received the email with the interview schedule and info 15 minutes before the actual interview time. When I contacted HR, there seemed to be confusion and the attitude it was my fault. Needless to say the interview had to be re-scheduled. At the interview with the hiring manager, it soon became clear that it wasn't a standard accounting role, even though the majority of the job description described fixed asset accounting depreciation, GL entries, sales/property taxes, internal and external financial statements and analysis, accruals, account reconciliations, etc. Actually, the majority of this position is doing SQL and Access database building and manipulation, something only mentioned in two short sentences towards the end of the 2 1/2 page job description. It would have been nice to have an accurate job description up front in the job ad. As it was, it was a waste of everyone's time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How much SQL experience have you had? How much database manipulation experience have you had?
