After a recruiter call, the process quickly turned into a fairly light online conversation style screen. My first real round focused on getting to know me: why accounting, how I saw my accounting career developing over the next few years, and some basic CV background. They also asked practical questions around how I work with documentation and how I think about accounting tools—whether price or functionality matters more—so it felt less like a trap and more like they were checking my fundamentals.
A second interview followed with a hiring manager, and the tone stayed friendly. I talked about teamwork and other behavioral themes, plus the “why this role” angle. The questions weren’t overly technical; instead, they tested whether I understood the basic finance/accounting foundation and could explain my experience clearly. Overall it felt like they were trying to understand my character and fit rather than grilling me.

From the very beginning, the atmosphere felt off. I had to commute an hour for the interview, yet the scheduling and the reception didn’t match the level of professionalism I expected. When the interviewer started, they cut me off quickly and seemed more focused on ending the conversation than understanding why I was interested.
The impression only worsened as the interaction carried an unfriendly, dismissive vibe. When it felt like the job description didn’t align with what they were actually willing to explain, I started questioning whether the role was truly being hired for in good faith.
