Grant Thornton interview questions

I was interested in working for GT and a friend who previously worked there introduced me to a partner. We had a very quick phone "interview" (more like a conversation), and then he arranged for a more formal interview about a week and a half afterwards. The "formal" interview started with meeting a recent experienced hire (closer to my level) for breakfast, which I really appreciated. Then we went up to the new offices and the partner gave me a tour and we chatted. Afterwards, we found a little conference room and I had 4 30-minute interviews with other partners and directors. It was pretty casual and conversational - we talked about our personal lives as well as past jobs and why GT is such an attractive company. I'm an experienced hire, so I also talked a lot about the transition from industry into audit, and about how my experience in industry would make me valuable to the audit team.

My first and second interview were at the UNF campus. Audit managers and partner were super down to earth and approachable. GPA and academics are important to them but they seemed to be mostly interested in getting to know me and seeing how well my personality fits in the company.
