I went through two interviews with CLA before they made their final decision. The first was with a recruiter who asked me questions to get to know me. The last interview was with two CLA team members, and the questions were mostly behavioral. Everyone was really welcoming and friendly. I got the offer a week after our last meeting.

The interview process was quite long. It began with an initial phone interview, followed by four consecutive interviews, each lasting at least 30 minutes and involving multiple interviewers. The primary focus was on assessing whether I, as a college student, could acknowledge I don't know everything about public accounting and demonstrate a willingness to learn.
