      Senior Accountant Interview

      Aug 29, 2011
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      White Plains, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Con Edison (White Plains, NY) in Dec 2010

      Interview

      The interview process was beyond anything I'd ever experienced before. I was there at the offices for at least 4 hours, probably more. When scheduling interviews while still employed this is very difficult. On top of that I met with about 7 different people three of whom interviewed me at the same time. This is a senior level position, not an officer or executive. it seemed like overkill to me. I met with several people that day whom the position would not be reporting to or even working closely with. I'm not sure why they put candidates through such a tedious process. I was literally exhausted when I left there because it was more like I was on the stand being interrogated than at an interview for a position I should someday like. One woman (whom the position didn't report to) had pages of typed questions and wrote the entire time. I did not feel like I was being given any feedback on how the were assessing me and quite honestly I felt as though if they are grilling me so hard right now what was the work environment going to be like. I did not get a good feeling about it at all. The whole thing was a shame too because the direst report manager was really a nice guy. if it wasn't for him I porbably would have walked out of there before the interviews were even over. All in all their process was taking too long and I'd already received an offer somewhere else, so I withdrew my application.

      Question 1

      Quite honeslty with seven different people questioning me I don't remember any one thing that stood out worse than the others.
