Novogradac & Company Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Bethesda, MD (took 2 days)

When applying, I made it a point to send my resume and cover letter to all potential screeners including partners and managers in the department, as well as the HR dept. This info was found on the company website. There was a phone interview and then a first interview with one of the two parnters which also involved a skills test regarding excel and economic analysis. The second interview was just a one-on-one with the other partner. Both have different styles of interviewing but are very good at picking exactly what they are looking for. This seems to be someone with long term employment goals and the ability to communicate well with coworkers and clients. If you find that you are ever the awkward guy/gal in the room when it comes to sociability, don't waste your time interviewing. A good college grade point average and the ability to make intelligent statements about economic conditions based on tables are also essential requirements. Duting the interview, be honest and explain thoroughly anything that you think might stand out negatively. Once you get the job, the people are honestly great to be around and the personalities within the offices mesh as well as can be said about any of the best work environments out there. Tax season can be quite busy between February and April with 60 to 70 hour weeks, but the paid overtime makes it well worth it. Food is provided in the kitchen and office sponsored lunches occur almost weekly. Holiday parties are amazing as you get to meet some of your coworkers from other offices and finally put faces to voices.
