The interview process was one that most of the other firms follow. Phone interview and then an office interview at the firm. Everybody was outgoing and made you feel very comfortable. The Chicago office is absolutely beautiful. You can tell by visiting the firm that there is a reason why they preach on their outstanding culture. I was very impressed with the firms values and the employees I met throughout the office interview. However, the audit staff positions that I applied for were given to the interns for Winter of 2019. Fall 2019 has positions open and waiting to hear about a decision at the end of October, once the other candidates have interviwed, since I interviewed early. I would never consider waiting until Fall 2019 to start but Plante Moran is significantly different than the Big 4 and other public accounting firms. Plante Moran is very selective when hiring because they seek only the best employees. Whether I receive an offer or not, Plante Moran was by far one of the best accounting firm interview experiences I've ever had.

Process was very smooth and moved along very quickly. Met them through a career fair at school and was then called to set up a phone interview. The interview was about half an hour long and very conversational. Basic behavioral questions.
