Baker Tilly interview questions

Pretty laid back interview, was longer than originally planned because they asked to meet with an additional person. Everyone was extremely friendly, seemed like a nice group to work with. They asked pretty standard interview questions. Definitely should do some research on the firm before interviewing, they've gone through a few mergers in recent years which they ask about.

Two phone screen interviews - first one with HR manager, second one with his assistant. First one we talked about my background and why I choose accounting. Second one was focused on behavioral questions like "Tell about about a time you didn't accomplished a task and how you coped with that". At the same day of the second phone interview I got the email for the in person interview. At the day of the interview we were 4 candidates. We first had a meeting with the HR manager, who explained everything about the company. Then we went on to meet with a Manager. Again more behavioral questions and challenges I faced in life. To me it looked like they didn't care if you know accounting; they wanted to know if you have a good personality and if you are trainable. After meeting with the manager, we want to lunch with two staff people. They were both bery nice and kept conversation going. After that, we met with a partner who again was really interested in knowing me and not what I have learned in school. He asked me about hobbies, books I've read, things I like in general and about my background. Make sure to pay attention to everyone you meet and ask them smart questions. The partner asked me what I learned about the staff I had lunch with. The interview was on Friday, I got the offer the following Tuesday.
