I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
I attended a Meet the Firms event in San Francisco and submitted my resume after getting face time with a recruiter and several associates. I was invited for a first interview and met with a senior manager. I was then invited to a social dinner and all-day office visit interview.
The social dinner was a great opportunity for all candidates (interns, full-time, audit, tax) to meet entry level associates who can relate a little more to the candidates and offer their viewpoints on office culture and opportunities. The interview itself was not bad, and Grant Thornton was very welcoming and I definitely would have worked there if I had not accepted an offer elsewhere.
My tip would be to really genuinely get to know everyone during the interview process. Don't consider it an interrogation, because it's an opportunity for you to interview the firm as much of it is vice versa.
From what I've noticed, the interviewers genuinely want to get to know you so try building rapport with them before/during/after the interview!
I attended an interview with Grant Thornton where the questions were mostly basic, focusing on fundamental concepts, my articleship experience, and general understanding rather than any advanced or technical areas
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Mar 2026

a fairly smooth process. an accounting test to qualify for interview 1 that happens with a manager, post that interview 2 with director. as a fresher much wont be expected except basic accounting knowledge especially journal entries
