What is the dress code at Grant Thornton?We ask that you follow specific guidelines depending on the business situation. When working independently—and provided there are no scheduled meetings with clients or business partners—a casual dress code applies; you can wear whatever is comfortable, such as a T-shirt, jeans, or a casual shirt. After all, hardly anyone sits at home in a suit and tie or a formal business suit unless they have to. However, if meetings are scheduled, your attire should be more formal and appropriate for the client. You will certainly receive detailed information about these guidelines before you start at GT, so you know what to expect.
-
Will I always receive feedback after a job interview?We always get back to candidates with feedback—regardless of the recruitment outcome—within a maximum of two weeks following the interview. This contact may be via phone or email. We also inform candidates if the recruitment process takes longer than expected. We strive to ensure our candidates always know the current status of their application.
-
What are the possible forms of cooperation?We offer employment based on a contract of employment (Umowa o Pracę). Details regarding the employment terms are discussed during the recruitment process.
