FP&A Analyst
It was two phone interviews, then a third one in person at their office. All of them were pretty easy, not a lot of hard technical stuff. The main hiccup was I was pretty much guaranteed an offer, then silence. After a few weeks though, they finally got back to me and the offer was extended.
- Tell me about your previous work experience.
FP&A Analyst
had a quick phone interview, then an in person interview with 3 different people (2 coworkers, direct supervisor), followed by an email test with excel and ppt attachments. Then I waited about a month and a week for the offer, had to follow up with email and still wait.
- Is there anything you're trying to hide?
- What will we find out about you in 6 months?
FP&A Analyst
I applied online and also got an employee referral. First, I had three interviews at their Denver office with people I would work with and the hiring manager. They were all really nice and knew a lot about the company and their own experiences. I was told the job needs 60+ hours a week and pays less than industry standards. Then, I had a follow-up phone interview a week later with another team member. I followed up the next week and they said I was a top candidate and would get an offer soon, just needed a quick call with the CFO. I stayed in touch with the hiring manager for two weeks, and he said they all really liked me and I was a top choice. Still no offer after three weeks. Finally, I had that 'quick' call with the CFO, which turned into an hour-long grilling about my resume and why I'm the best fit based on my background and education. I also had to give a detailed, multi-step analysis of processing quarterly and year-end books and projecting 4-year performance, which took over thirty minutes. I asked some questions and thanked her. I followed up the next week, and she said the hiring manager would contact me. Two more weeks passed, and I got a call saying they were extending the screening process. I didn't know what that meant and asked if I was still getting an offer; they told me to be patient. Two more weeks went by, and I got an email saying I wasn't chosen, with no reason given. It's frustrating to be strung along for over two months and misled like this. I wish they had given a clear yes or no sooner so I could have moved on.
- Can you provide a step-by-step analysis for processing quarterly and year-end books, including projecting out 4-year performance?
- Explain how your resume, experiences, and education qualify you as the ideal candidate for this position.
