Greenback Expat Tax Services Interview Questions
& Process

I sent in my resume and cover letter, and then they had me do this whole online application with like 20+ essay questions. They wanted to know about strategy and ideas they could use for their business. I also had to send in my work samples, but the website was super glitchy, kept crashing, wouldn't save my stuff, and felt really insecure. After that, I had a video interview for about an hour with the HR manager. They told me they were going with other people, but the job is still up months later. They're either looking for a unicorn or just trying to get free ideas. Plus, they want to hire people as 'full-time freelancers,' which is actually illegal.

I applied online and did a written exercise. Then I had a Skype interview, and then a final interview with the CEO. The first interview with the HR rep was great, she was very courteous and attentive, and it went smoothly. I scheduled an interview with the CEO a few days later. Because she was in Thailand, we interviewed pretty late at night (my time). I ran into some issues with the meeting software and emailed her to let her know what was happening (it was not Skype, like it was with the earlier interview). This caused the interview to start a few minutes late. When the interview started, I apologized for the lateness. Rather than being reasonable, she kept asking me what went wrong - not with concern, but in an accusatory manner. When she finally moved on, she spent time going over my education and work experience and grilled me about why I made the decisions I made, all with much disapproval. It became very personal and strange and went on for over an hour. I've never had an interview like that in my life. To make matters worse, she interrupted our interview to chat to her husband in the background. So disrespectful and unprofessional. This is the only time that I have ever found myself just wanting to end an interview. It was such a draining ordeal, that I would not have accepted an offer under any circumstances.

I applied for this role because it was a new position created due to company growth. The entire experience was great—professional, comfortable, and really positive. A friend recommended me to the CEO, who reached out promptly. Our initial interview was a productive and friendly discussion. The CEO outlined the subsequent steps, which unfolded exactly as she described. Over about a week to week and a half, I had interviews with the HR manager and the Business Director via video call. These conversations were enjoyable and made me more excited about the job and the prospect of working with such capable and nice colleagues. The interviews felt more like informative chats, and I could tell I would like working with them. I received an offer about a week after my last interview, and I'm very glad I accepted.

I got contacted by HR after applying and we did 2 interviews. Then there was a working exercise and a final interview. It took about 2 weeks. I felt I could ask questions during the process and the team was very helpful and insightful.
