The first step is to be contacted by an HR representative. This consists of a 25 minute surface scratch of your resume and some fairly stock interview questions. I was then told to prepare a stock pitch for the next round of interviews. Three weeks later I received an interview asking if I would be interested in interviewing with a current associate. The associate was kind. The interview was very informal for the first 10 minutes or so and then came a good 25 minutes of accounting specific questions. This was followed up by a stock pitch. Warning for any academics. The pitches are to be briefs not standard stock pitches. Highlight 3 summary points with justification and a recommendation.
