Staff Accountant Intern at Novogradac & Company

No Offer – Interviewed in Saint Louis, MO Oct 2012 – Reviewed Nov 25, 2012

Interview Details – I applied online and received a phone interview after 2 days. After a week the recruiter called in. Overall the interview is easy, questions about your resume, how much you know about the company, no situational questions. The recruiter was not very professional and was not enthusiastic about his job. I feel like he doesn't know much about his own company because he failed to answer some of my questions.

Interview Question – What did you find on the company's website that interests you most? Explain why you are interested in it.
What is your most favorite/least favorite accounting class?Why?

Staff Accountant Intern at Novogradac & Company

No Offer – Interviewed in San Francisco, CA Oct 2011 – Reviewed Oct 25, 2011

Interview Details – I received an initial email to schedule a phone interview, which occurs at your convenience. The phone interview went very well, and I knew that I had gone through. The recruiter was impressed with my work and was in accord with what I was saying about work culture. I received an email the following business day asking for my recent resume and transcript. Once that was received, I was asked to offer a few dates as to when I would be available for an in-office interview. I went in 2 weeks later, and had a one on one interview with a Senior Accountant, who was very nice and informative. I felt I connected with her very well, however, it somehow became more of an informational interview, as she wasn't asking me that many questions. Then I took an assessment, which demonstrated skills for Microsoft Excel, as well as basic accounting principles. However, I must say the skills test definitely requires a more recent studying of intermediate accounting. Overall, it was done in a very professional manner, but I made the mistake of not being prepared enough to go on to the next interview, which would have consisted of an interview with the Supervisor, Senior Accountant, and a Manager. For future reference, be sure to be prepared with all accounting principles, and be sure to answer more about yourself and not ask too many questions about the position in your second interview. Once you've made it to the third interview, consider yourself hired. Good luck!

Interview Details – The first in-house interview lasts about 30 min, including an interview and a basic accounting and excel test. I was informed about the second interview after a week of what to expect on that date. The second round was about 2 hours which included 4 interviews with a staff, a manager, and 2 partners. Everybody was so friendly.
