The first round of interviews was a group interview with four people, followed by an English essay. Neither the interview questions nor the essay topic had anything to do with auditing, and the interview questions seemed to be fixed; some interviewees even knew the questions beforehand. If that's true, I think it's unfair.
Average interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Grant Thornton
Interview
Standard online application, few questions about why GT? why audit? And about their CLEARR core principles. Then a pre recorded video interview, mainly competency based question. When have you shown: initiative? ownership? leadership? There were 6 questions in total, including 1 written essay question. You are given 2 mins to prepare for each question and then 2mins to record your response, other than the written one where you receive 10mins to answer. After this you then have to do a few tests, judgment test, followed by a numerical and verbal test
The interview process at Grant Thornton typically involves multiple stages, including an initial phone screening, a behavioral interview, and a technical or case-based assessment. Candidates may also meet with managers or partners. The process emphasizes cultural fit, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities, often concluding with a final round or offer discussion
