First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Cherry Bekaert.
Auditor
The interview process involved a single interview block, featuring two consecutive 30-minute interviews with Cherry Bekaert employees. They were really friendly and made me feel comfortable, allowing me to express myself well. They were also fast with their responses, getting back to me with an offer within a week of the interview.
- Could you walk me through your resume?
Auditor
I had a casual chat with a senior auditor to get to know them. After that, I spoke with a partner at the firm, which was also a really casual conversation.
- Can you tell me about your biggest weakness?
Auditor
I had a phone screening with a recruiter and the hiring manager for the local office. It was a basic screening, nothing too challenging. I was surprised there wasn't an in-person interview given my qualifications. I suspect my age (around 40) might have been a factor, as the firm seems to favor younger employees who can commit to long hours. Before the interview, I had to complete a strange "predictive index" questionnaire that was vague and lacked clarity. Unlike a previous experience, I didn't get to see the results. The follow-up was also weak; they said they'd respond in a day or two, but I had to email them after about five days to get a callback. However, it seems like a good place to start a career in public accounting. Key things to mention are your willingness to work overtime and interest in business development.
- What are your job expectations?
- Are you open to working long hours?
- Do you see yourself engaging in business development in the future?
