Intern Reviews
- “Fantastic culture and lots of opportunity to learn and expand your skill set. I felt included and important as an intern, and I know that my voice was heard. Worked 40 hours a week, not too stressful. They did not want me to take work home with me and preferred for me to just work hard while I was at the office and never to work on the weekends.”
- “There is a great attitude toward work/life balance which was my number one priority when job hunting. I can work from home when I need to, and there’s some flexibility on how early or late I want to work. If something personal comes up, my team understood and was respectful as long as I communicated in advance with them.”
- “The firm culture is awesome; I feel like I have made valuable connections and planted the seeds for valuable business and professional relationships.”
- “BT is very flexible on whether I work in-person or remote. They are very orientated on work-life balance, and everyone in the firm is always very nice and welcoming.”
Getting Hired Here
- “The interview seemed more like a conversation with a partner than an actual interview. Not very intimidating or stressful at all. After speaking with the firm at a career fair, they reached out to set up an interview not too long after.”
- “To-the-point interview process. My firm respected my time while I was in the recruiting process”
- “I did 4 total interviews with my company before working with them, and I felt like they were thorough and worth both my time and the company's time.”
- “The interview process was very relaxed, which I loved. Some accounting firms asked some very intense behavioral questions and made the interview process difficult, but the BT process felt like I was just getting to talk to employees and ask them questions. It felt less like an interview and more like being given the opportunity to pick the brains of partners and senior managers in a well-established accounting firm while getting to know them a little. I am unsure how selective the standards are, but there are great people at BT and I think the interview process does a good job of finding kind people who are genuinely interested in accounting as a career.”
