Principal Financial Group Accountant interview experience

I interviewed with two people from inside the department—one who would have been my direct reporting line, and the other was their boss.

The conversations were about how I approached my work and how I interacted within the team, and it didn’t feel like there was a heavy technical gate. Instead, it was more about fit and communication.

I didn’t receive an offer, but the overall experience stayed straightforward and not overly tense. What I remember most is how naturally the questions flowed once we got past the basics, which made it feel less like a test and more like a discussion.
