I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Philadelphia, PA) in Nov 2013
Interview
Applied through the online recruiting portal after speaking with employees at a University Career Fair. Was called after 3 weeks and offered a phone interview, which took place the next day. At the end of the phone interview I was offered a final interview the next week. The final round interview was set up just for me (no other interviewees) round robin style with a Director, a Senior Manager, and a Partner. After promptly sending "Thank You"emails that day, I received my offer less than 24 hours after leaving the office.
My experience with this firm's recruiting is only positive. Everybody acts like a professional, but more creative and flexible and far less political than when I interviewed with the Big 4.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Question series posed by Firm Partner: (A)Why did you choose Accounting? (B)Why public Accounting vs private accounting? (C)What do you expect from Grant Thornton as an employer?
I attended an interview with Grant Thornton where the questions were mostly basic, focusing on fundamental concepts, my articleship experience, and general understanding rather than any advanced or technical areas
