I went through 4 interviews. The first was a recruiter phone call to chat about the role and see if I was a fit, pretty chill. Then I met with the Director of Accounting, who would be my boss. The third interview was with the VP of Technical Accounting, and I had to do an assessment beforehand, which wasn't too tough, just to see how I'd handle accounting problems. The final round was with the CFO. The whole thing took about 4-5 weeks due to scheduling hiccups and some confusion, but it could probably be done in 2-3 weeks.

The interview process was quite extensive, which initially surprised me given the invite. However, I actually enjoyed the extended interaction, as it provided a great chance to connect with various people across the company. This multi-perspective engagement offered a comprehensive understanding of the company's operations and different roles. While the waiting period to hear back about the hiring decision was longer than anticipated, I appreciated that they did follow up, unlike some other companies that leave you completely in the dark.

started with an initial screening call with HR, then we had three rounds of interviews, first with peers where we covered technical accounting topics, then a test where I had to review financials, and finally one last interview with the VP, followed by a background check and reference requests.
