Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at MGO.
Associate
Submitted my application online. Then I had a phone screening, which was a few weeks after I applied. After that, I had a phone interview with an Office Partner. Next was a Webex interview with a Manager and another Partner. I followed up with the recruiter to ask for more time to review their offer, and they were very accommodating. Overall, I had a good experience with the recruiting process.
- Can you describe your responsibilities at your current company?
- What does your typical schedule look like?
- What kind of work environment are you seeking?
Associate
I had a self-recorded video interview with 5 questions where I could redo my answers. Then, a 30-minute session where a Partner talked about the firm. After that, we split into two groups. One group did two 20-minute interviews with a manager and director, while the other group participated in a Q&A panel with current associates. Then we switched so the Q&A group did the 1-on-1 interviews, and the other group did the Q&A. We all went to lunch afterward. It was a relaxed and conversational interview. They asked a few questions and then left most of the time for my questions. The only downside was not hearing back about the status.
- Can you tell me why you are interested in MGO?
- What are your reasons for pursuing audit or tax?
- What do you understand about our company's work?
Associate
The interview process seemed straightforward initially. However, after we discussed salary, they informed me about a mandatory one-year bond, with a penalty of 2 lakhs if I didn't comply. Once I agreed to this condition, they asked me to wait for a day. Two weeks passed, and when I contacted them for an update, they stated they were no longer hiring. My time was essentially wasted.
