The recruiter was awful at communicating even after multiple follow ups. I was told I'd move to the next round but then she never emailed me back. Probably more of a problem with the recruiter than the company.

It was a good experience. The HR folks were kind. They asked questions about accounting basics and some Journal Entries. They also wanted to know how well you handle stress.

Behavioral Technical

I was hoping to update my review about the tax interview because some really unprofessional and illegal questions were asked. I couldn't edit my previous review, but I wanted to share a crucial detail that others, clients, and HQ should know. The first interviewer asked me an illegal question about my ethnic background. Later in the interview, he also asked technical questions. He left to get a document and returned with a K-1. He then asked me technical questions about it, but he didn't redact any confidential info, like the SSN, address of the K-1 recipient, and the business entity's federal ID#. After talking to some people, I found out this was not only unprofessional but also unethical. I'm looking into what I can do about this.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Under what conditions can an individual deduct pass through losses?
