SURVEY SAYS


Smart and supportive
 
It’s a “great,” “friendly” and “supportive” culture over at Grant Thornton, which is also filled with “smart people.” It’s also “a collaborative environment where respect, integrity, professional excellence and leadership are both exhibited and expected.” (Outsiders also think highly of the firm’s culture: In Public Accounting Report’s latest annual survey of accounting professors, Grant Thornton was the highest ranking national accounting firm in the work/life balance category.) Behind the culture lies excellent management, contacts say.

Tips from the inside


Blaze your own trail


Grant Thornton recruits at “all major and most mid-major universities,” but your route to full-time life at the firm may vary, especially if you’re an experienced hire. On the careers section of www.grantthornton.jobs <http://www.grantthornton.jobs> , “campus candidates,” as the firm refers to college-aged candidates, can learn about different departments, career tracks and read about the recruitment process. If you’re called in for an interview, expect at least “three interviews” with everyone from “human resources” to the “CEO.”
