I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RSM (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2015
Interview
Got the interview through on campus recruiting, was contacted the next week for an interview on campus. Very informal conversation with recruiter about the position, a few questions he must ask regarding CPA requirements and behavioral/leadership questions. After that, went to Chicago for an office visit consisting of interviews with three different managers then a lunch with associates. Very enjoyable day with the firm.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time in which you took on a leadership role.
Basically with a group of other candidates where you meet each other and get assigned into groups where you have to complete a task then have an individual interview where they try to learn more about you and whether you are the right fit for their team.
Online Test moderate difficulty, Initial interview with basic questions, group discussion and another round witb technical accounting, taxation and general questions. I had interview through placement from college so the levels may differ from normal interview process.
The overall process was straightforward. First there was a hr screening interview then soon after a interview with the hiring managers. Mostly behavioural questions were asked that were job specific.
