I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RSM in Oct 2013
Interview
Lasted about 2 weeks. I applied through campus recruiting and interviewed on campus with a partner.
Easy interview we talked about travel.
Office visit included 3 interviews - 1 partner, 2 managers.
Partner told me that most staff leave within a year or two because that's the business structure...there are a lot less senior roles than staff roles.
No technical questions.
A lot of emphasis on teamwork.
One huge interview block that had 3 30 minute interviews back to back, I didn’t get screened by a recruiter though! Varied on difficulty for questions, my second interviewer asked a lot of technical stuff that through me off guard though.
