      Accountant Interview

      Sep 21, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Chicago, IL
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Brilliant (Chicago, IL)

      Interview

      My initial experience was very good. I was kept busy, but then suddenly the jobs slowed down and my recruiter told me he was doing interviews Monday - Thursday, which made absolutely no sense to me. If you can't keep me busy, why are you hiring more people??!!! When I had to take the drug test a second time I was annoyed because my recruiter laughed and said no when I asked him if the internal Brilliant employees had to take a drug test. Your terminated as soon as a project ends unless they find you something in the current month, otherwise another drug test and more paperwork. The drug tests are inconvenient and I wasn't paid for using my personal time to drive, pay for parking and wait to take the test.

      Downers Grove, IL
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Brilliant (Downers Grove, IL) in Jun 2022

      Interview

      I had a phone screen, then a video interview. When it came time to meet an actual client, I was horrified to discover that they had us marching in one after another. The person before me saw me waiting, and I in turn, saw the next person waiting. Sort of like cattle. The client never even hired anyone.

      Accountant Interview

      May 3, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Fort Lauderdale, FL
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Brilliant (Fort Lauderdale, FL) in Mar 2016

      Interview

      I received a call one day before the interview. The Interviewer said she was interested in my qualifications and wanted to have a discussion with me regarding an accountant position. She was flexible in setting an interview time which was suitable to me. I arrived at the office and later I was taken to a conference room where the interview began. After a couple of days she called and said that I had to give an online excel and accounting concept test within a month. I agreed and gave the test. She also positively affirmed about my fit to a position. But later when I tried calling her she did not reply. I also emailed her. But she never answered. It was very unprofessional of her and the organization.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about your self? What areas in accounting are you interested in? Which specific qualities are you looking for in a Manager?
