I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Calcuta) in Feb 2016
Interview
Got a call through the consultancy. First round was Group Discussion. The topic was "Are reality shows really real ?".
The next round was Technical. Typical Questions for a Chartered Accountant. The interviewer was friendly and encouraging.But he was asking a lot of in-built technical questions which are difficult to remember.
Another problem was the mis-communication of the job location. The recruitment agency told me it would be Kolkata, but on reaching there I found that it was Bangalore or Gurgaon. The pay scale for the same was not very encouraging.
