Makosi Interview Questions
& Process

It was a quick interview, felt like they were just checking boxes. Didn't go into much detail and the recruiter didn't seem very interested in what I was saying. They were also late and forgot to record, so I had to repeat everything once they remembered.

This was an initial interview, and I got through it. The rest of the process is really long and takes ages. The interview itself felt pretty casual, and the person interviewing me was nice and approachable. They mostly asked about my background, what I've done, and where I want to go in my career. They also told me about how things work with Makosi.

My job is to audit the company's financial records, statements, and reports, making sure everything is accurate and consistent. I also audit the company's information systems to ensure they comply with data security and storage rules. I review controls, policies, and procedures to see if they're effective. Then I draft and present reports about what I found and my analysis, and I suggest improvements to accounting practices and procedures. I also do other tasks as needed. I manage and review the work of junior staff and report to the Senior Partner & Financial Director.

I initially had a really good impression of Makosi. I met with James at their office in September, and we had a great conversation. After we finished, he introduced me to a colleague. James concluded the interview and said I'd hear back in a day or two. I thought that was super quick for feedback, which made me happy because I was really interested in the job and felt qualified. I sent a follow-up email the next day thanking him and asking for feedback. Unfortunately, I never heard back from James. I tried calling him later that week and even one more time after that. Still, no response from Makosi. To me, it's really unprofessional to bring someone in for an interview and then ghost them. They obviously didn't select me, but I wish someone had just told me directly.
