Had three interviews. The first one was with HR and included an accounting test. The second was with the supervisor accountant, and the last one was with the CFO. They were very professional and precise in presenting the company and the proposed role.

Technical Behavioral

The interview was not very welcoming, and it felt awkward and difficult to get comfortable. Two people were interviewing, and it seemed rushed. It was supposed to be a 50-minute interview but finished in 10 minutes, which felt unprofessional and not friendly. They asked different questions, some about me and some not. I didn't get to talk about myself. They were rude and oblique. Be prepared for questions outside the job role.
