I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CohnReznick (Fairfax, VA) in Oct 2013
Interview
I was emailed saying that I had an interview with them. I was instructed to fill out their questionnaire (link was provided in the email), and also bring a copy of my transcript and the questionnaire to the interview. The interview was one on one with on of their auditing staff, and was actually pretty relaxed. The questions were pretty basic interview questions like "what was a setback you faced and how did you react to it" or "a specific project that you were successful on, and how did you achieve that success".
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions were fairly basic, but the most unexpected was "provide an example outside of school that you were faced with a problem and how did you solve it?" LIke I said they were straightforward questions that didn't really involve any acccounting or business related skills.
One Hire view ( asked when you'll meet cpa requirements, if you took intermediate accounting, why audit, if you live within a reasonable commute, etc.) and a phone screening, then 2 (30 min interviews). They were nice.
A pleasant interview with two managers of the office I'm applying for. They were casual but informative, and answered my questions well with a good sense of humor. I definitely walked away with a positive exerience.
Did two back to back 30 minute interviews seemed like it went well then I was told I would hear next steps in 3 days and heard nothing they went complete ghost, would have at least appreciated a rejection.
