      IT Audit Interview

      Aug 9, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Plano, TX
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney (Plano, TX)

      Interview

      If the direct supervisor/trainer offers another position, I should have walked out. It was uncomfortable sitting through 2 hours trying to get the job when I knew my supervisor don't want me by the 10-minute mark. Managements have a say but I'm in the crossfire. Here's what I learned from the interview: seniors and managers disagree by contending on who to hire. They don't talk about disagreement in the company. Maybe I could have passed if my resume highlighted my work experience in accounting and SOX but then I maybe wouldn't pass the first two rounds without my IT experience. Below is the interview: The process took 3-4 weeks. First is phone screening with HR then a phone interview with a manager. The third round is a two-hour interview at HQ: First 30-minute: 2 seniors. I interviewed at 9 a.m. when work time starts. One of the two interviewers is late and she immediately offered me a position in another department. (and made a face) Her words: I had a meeting right before (before everyone started working?) She spent some minutes reading my resume. Looks like she has never seen my resume before. She kept checking the clock and ended the interview right on time. Okay, I guess she's an accounting person so she is used to looking at an accounting-focused resume. It's unfortunate that she is my direct supervisor/trainer. I realized I should have left at this point because she offered another position right off the bat and didn't tell me much about what the job looks like. Next 30-minute: 2 managers, including the one that interviewed me. The IT audit manager offered very good insight to how IT audit works and how we test controls and gather evidences for the external auditors. The managers are more IT related, so their expectations might be different from their subordinates. The third 30-minute: 1 HR partner. She said she just want to talk to me and if there's nothing to talk then she'll end the interview early. So we just talk a bit, kept it formal and ask her some questions about her history with JCP (she's been there for a long long time). A bit awkward since she asked a random question: "Do you want this job?" and I thought it should be asked to the audit senior "Do you want this person to have this job?" Last 30-minute: Director of audit. He's busy, he just want to know what I learned about the company and the job. (not much since my supervisor didn't tell me much, only from managers) Overall, don't make me deal with this crossfire culture until I'm your employee.
