Audit Associate at McGladrey LLP

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Oct 2011 – Reviewed Sep 12, 2012

Interview Details It began with a first round interview at my college. It was about 30 minutes long and went smoothly. They are trying to determine if you are a right fit for the firm and if you are "worth" bringing in for a second round interview at the office. About 10 days later, a few of us received invitations to second round interviews at the office. The 2nd round interview was a half day event and included four interviews ranging from senior to partner. Each one was about 30-45 minutes long.

Interview Question – Tell me about a time where you had an unexpeced difficulty and how you overcame that difficulty and what you learned from the experience.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – I was very happy with the offer and enjoyed the firm very much so there was no negotiation process. I was more than thrilled to accept the offer and end my job search.

Accepted Offer – Reviewed Aug 03, 2012

Interview Question – Why do you like this more than a Big 4?   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – Absolutely no room to negotiate, you either take it or get lost.

Winter Internship at McGladrey LLP

No Offer – Reviewed Jul 21, 2012

Interview Details I attended the pathways summer program. the final day was broken down into 2 thirty minute one on one interviews with managers from your preferred line of practice. The first interview was a very easy going conversational style get to know you talk. No technical questions were asked in either interview. The second was slightly more difficult because this manager was in charge of the specific line of practice you were interested in and was looking for a slightly more precise and perhaps technical answer as to why you preferred one division over the other.

Interview Question – none. more or less "tell me about yourself/background and how you got into accounting" and shoot from there.   View Answer

Associate at McGladrey LLP

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Jacksonville, FL (US) Feb 2012 – Reviewed Jun 04, 2012

Interview Details Phone interview with recruiter...what did I like about accounting, how would I fit in, name an example of when my teammates weren't pulling their weight, etc.

Interview Question – An example of when your teammates didn't pull their weight--what did you do to rectify the situation?   Answer Question

Reason for Declining – They offered me a follow-up office visit which was to occur on a Tuesday in March. I am posting a negative review because #1 - they knew I would be coming from Tampa and, being on a Tuesday, would have required me to miss 2 days of work for my current employer; #2 - they timed the office visit right in the middle of busy season. Needless to say, I did not attend the office visit.

Consulting Associate at McGladrey LLP

No Offer – Interviewed in Feb 2012 – Reviewed May 24, 2012

Interview Details The interview was great. I had met many of my interviewers at business events before the formal interview and so I was excited about the opportunity. However, the interview turned negative when I received no reply by email or over the phone afterwards. While this is typical, it was particularly frustrating because even after calling and leaving messages with the interviewers, I was granted no response.

I was promised reimbursement for my travel expenses on two separate occasions by two separate HR Reps and I never received it (because I could never get a hold of them!)

Interview Question – The interview was four hours long, however most of the questions were casual. There were no behavioral or situational questions.   Answer Question
