The interview process was straightforward, focusing on qualifications and expectations. It was thorough, allowing me to meet many of the people I would be directly working with, which was a positive. The staff and office environment were welcoming and friendly. I also received a complete tour of the office, which has an open-concept layout with unassigned workstations for most employees.

It was a very casual interview, not overwhelming at all. They really value your non-profit involvement and the org culture at HoganTaylor, so make sure to show you're a genuine person and ask about that. Having an eager attitude and just being yourself is key!

The interview process was lengthy and felt like a loop, with the final hiring decision requiring committee consensus rather than a single person's judgment. They emphasized growth via acquisitions but offered little on organic growth strategies. Corporate culture was a frequent topic. Discussions also touched on challenges managing partners acting as individual CEOs, high turnover among junior staff, and a noted absence of compensation planning. Notably, no substantive feedback was given after a candidate was selected.

Behavioral Presentation

The interview process was pretty average. I met with three different people, all at a higher level like partner or manager, in one-on-one meetings. We talked about my qualities, what I see for the future, what I expect from the job, and my thoughts on public accounting – both the good and the bad. I also got a tour of the office and had a chance to chat with some of the staff there and ask them questions.
