I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at RSM (Minneapolis, MN) in Apr 2014
Interview
Multiple call interactions with human resources. One in-person interview with two partners. They were willing to give me an offer, but had reservations about my requested salary. Then multiple insulting call interactions with human resources telling me the requested salary was unreasonable, after I was told by someone who works for McGladrey in another office in the same division as this position what to ask for and what to expect in salary; the asking salary was also in line with market data for the position. They wanted to offer between $63-68k, when market data was a median of $99 and a low of 74. HR was badgering and insulting with regards to my background and asking salary.

Question 1
All questions asked in my in-person interview were fair and not out of the ordinary. Questions from HR concerning my current and expected salary were badgering and insulting.
There are 2 sets of interviews that are conducted.
One is with Managers and the second is partner level interviews followed by a case study. They will then let you know the results and provide you with a contract where you can negotiate the salary.
