The interview process was pretty standard, starting with a recruiter, then a director, followed by a skills test, and finally a panel interview. The interviews were very conversational with just a couple of behavioral questions thrown in. Everyone I met was super nice and open about their time at the company.

A recruiter reached out to me and we had a phone chat on Monday. She then set up a call with the hiring manager for Tuesday, which lasted about 40 minutes. After that, the recruiter called again that same day to arrange an onsite interview for Friday with three people. I got a quick tour and interviewed with two of them for just over an hour. Later on Friday, the recruiter contacted me to schedule a final interview with the third person I was supposed to meet and the CAO for the following Tuesday. However, the CAO couldn't make it, so we had to reschedule a phone interview for Wednesday. I had my phone chat with the CAO on Wednesday morning and got the job offer that same Wednesday night. Oh, and somewhere in there, I also had to complete a challenge that tested my accounting knowledge.

First, there was a quick chat with a recruiter. Then, I had an interview with the hiring manager and the team. The questions were specific to the job and pretty straightforward. They also gave me a test about daily tasks for the role, which was also easy. But then it took them two whole weeks to give me any feedback, and the recruiter took ages to reply. It was a pretty disappointing experience.
