I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RSM (Davenport, IA) in Mar 2012
Interview
I had an on campus interview with an HR woman. She was nice but all she did was go through a list of questions. I left thinking I was not going to get a second interview, but about 5 days later I received a call asking me to come in for an office interview. I went and there were 13 of us. I had two interviews with a Tax Partner and a Tax Manager. Both interviews were not at all behavioral and just chit chatting, but make sure you get in your experiences and interest in McGladrey. After that it was a dinner with a lot of the tax employees. Make sure you speak to as many as you can.
There are 4 questions and each question has 2 minutes to prepare and 2 minutes to answer. It takes around 25-30 minutes to finish the whole process and it usually takes 7 days to receive a result.
I applied online. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at RSM (Dallas, TX) in Sept 2025
Interview
Most of the interview at RSM US LLP focused on your personality and your previous job experience, with questions assessing how you communicate, handle situations, and fit within the company culture.
The interview process included an online application, a recruiter phone screen, and two rounds of behavioral interviews with partners, focusing on leadership, teamwork, communication skills, and alignment with RSM’s core values.
