Interview
First step was to submit Resume and Transcript, next you do three online assessments (mathematical, analytical pattern one, and personality), then once you take that and pass you get an invitation to do a video interview where you answer 3 questions online recording yourself. and then once you do that, you move forward and have an in-person interview
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Why did you choose assurance and how does it fit with your career aspirations? (Or whichever area of accounting you chose to apply for)
It was a good interview process where they test your accounting knowledge and ability to work in a team. They also ask you behavioural questions as well. Best to prepare as much as possible beforehand
Very straightforward, partners & senior managers were friendly and asked expected technical questions. Key thing to stand out is to really research the company and how the grad programme works - focus on exactly what you will do in assurance, what the role would look like and also some basic accounting understanding.
online application for graduate role had initial aptitude test. I passed and did the one way digital interview which was just answering 2 questions where you record your self. Passed and went to assessment center which was a group case study and interview.
