When you ask almost any accountant what they like most about their firm, the answer will be "the people."
At first, I thought this was just a standard answer. How different can the people really be from firm to firm?
There is actually a good amount of truth to this though. As I started talking to recruiters, there were some that I clicked with. We had things in common and carried on a conversation. Then there were others who I could not imagine having to work with- no personality, difficult to talk to.
After the prereqs (GPA, extracurriculars, etc.), the firm is mostly trying to find out if you "fit" with them. Would they like to work with you? Are you a potential future leader? Once you make it to the office visit, the company will try to sell itself to you. Why are they the best to work for?
Keep all this in mind during the recruiting process. Finding the best fit is more important than working for the biggest and best firm. You don't want to end up dreading going to work in the morning.
