Gross, the manager was horrible but I took the position and hated it. It was easy as I was qualified but they were very verbal about the abuse they were having.

So for this government role, the interview process was pretty standard. There were two rounds. The first one was a panel interview that lasted about an hour. After that, I had a second round with the hiring manager. The first round was mainly to see if I'd be a good fit for the work environment, and they asked some technical and behavioral questions.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview process was really impressive. It was a 3-person team interview. They started with structured questions about scenarios in your present or previous job and how you handled them. Then, they explained the position, the caseload, what an average day looks like, and were upfront about the stress. They also gave me time for questions. The interview details were emailed, with info on how to prepare and links to research the role more, including a video of current employees and client interactions. I could also see the benefits package. All my questions were answered. It's about a 2-3 week hiring process, and they're still interviewing. I'm hoping to hear back in the next week or two.

Behavioral Technical
It was a three-part panel interview, basically a mix of general interview questions and then some questions specific to the job in the department. It's super tough to get even an entry-level auditing job if you don't have experience in that specific department. The requirements are way too strict for what they pay. They didn't seem to value my private sector auditing experience much. Even with a Bachelor's degree and years of financial auditing background, I couldn't even get a second look for jobs paying $30k-$35k less than private sector auditing jobs. They have unrealistic requirements for specific department processes for anyone trying to get into public sector compliance and auditing.
