The company was really communicative and focused on the intern's goals. They tailored the program to what the intern wanted to achieve and learn about the accounting industry. There were 2 interviews with different people and then an assessment.

The interview was pretty disorganized, and the interviewer showed up late. They didn't ask much and it felt like they were just trying to fill positions quickly, not even mentioning the specific role I applied for.

The interview process was pretty interesting. I met with 3 different people over a pretty long stretch of time, and we had multiple meetings. They told me they were interested in hiring me after the last interview. But then, they saw my tattoos and didn't like them. It was weird to go through so many interviews and then find out my wrist tattoo was an issue.
