I applied through university. I interviewed at Plante Moran (Detroit, MI) in Sept 2016
Interview
Was invited on campus to meet with a recruiter. Was then asked about background and future goals. Was told that they would reach out with a decision, after being given a business card by the partner. After writing a thank you note, never heard back again until they emailed a rejection notice. Did not feel too bad about this as the company has a reputation for being full of jerks, which is counter to the "jerk-free" image they try to promote
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Plante Moran (Chicago, IL) in Sept 2024
Interview
There were three sections to the interview. One is a general overview of the company with some newer audit associates. Two interviews, one with a manager and one with a partner. The ones that interviewed me were so kind. Asked typical behavioral questions (manager) and questions about classes (partner). The interview wasn’t too difficult but it was very engaging.

Interview
Two back to back interview on campus with principals for chicago office, very conversational and chill for the whole interview. I got a offer after two days, which is pretty quick.
Standard interview questions like tell me about yourself, name a time you worked in a team, etc. a few specific to resume trying to see if the skills translate to the audit position. No curveballs at all
