      Senior Accountant Interview

      Feb 4, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Irvine, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Edwards Lifesciences (Irvine, CA) in Jan 2016

      Interview

      I first had a 30 min phone interview that went well, and was invited to an in person interview. At first I agreed to the interview, but decided to cancel after feeling unprepared to make a move. My recruiter called, emailed, and texted me, asking me to reconsider as the hiring manager was very disappointed and still wanted to meet with me. They offered to pare down the interview to 1 hour (instead of the standard 2) just as away of meeting me in person. I agreed to go in, unaware that the hiring manager would take it as an opportunity to passive-aggressively attack me for being "flaky" and passing up a rare opportunity to work for such a great company. She treated me as if I had cancelled, only to beg to be interviewed later. She began the "interview" by asking "if I extended an offer to you, how can I be confident that you would not back out at the last minute?" She then ended it by saying, "IF we want to move forward with you, you will have to come back in to meet upper management, but it will be a hard sell given that you've cancelled on us already," and "we all take so much pride working here, we can't imagine anyone not wanting to work here." She then advised me to reconsider my behavior before scheduling any more interviews. I left the meeting and swiftly let the recruiter know how insulted I was by the entire experience and that they needn't consider my candidacy anymore. To add insult to injury, recruiter emailed me the following week to let me know they were forgoing my candidacy. Apparently they won't take no for an answer without insulting and humiliating you along the way!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      She asked me simple DR/CR questions, capitalization policies, general ledger questions, etc.

      Senior Accountant Interview

      Dec 16, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Prag
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Edwards Lifesciences (Prag) in Nov 2022

      Interview

      I had 3 interview rounds out of 4. First round was with the recruiter, I have enjoyed interview with recruiter very much, very pleasant and informative discussion. Second round was with a Team Leader and Finance Director/Manager. I enjoyed the interview, TL seemed to be a pleasant person to work with, questions were very tricky however reasonable. Third round was with two managers and unfortunately I did not feel a positive vibe from the management, rather more tired and passive discussion. This is ultimately where I got 'rejected' as I was not able to provide 100% information on a question related to Intercompany asset management. I was told that they have liked me and my attitude but thought I did not have enough knowledge to hold the role despite me having twice more experience than it was essentially required. To me, Edwards values sound hypocritical, because Edwards claims they value personality, dedication and approach more than the knowledge. Not being able to answer to one question entirely correctly out of many shows that a candidate has knowledge on the subject, even if it is not 100%. It is not possible to know everything and it is okay to admit it. It is not, however, ok to claim that you value a personality more than knowledge and then reject the candidate because 1 question out of 10 was not answered correctly

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. How would you calculate bad debt, on what criterias? 2. What are your greatest achievements?
