Audit Staff at Plante Moran
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Grand Rapids, MI Oct 2011 – Reviewed Oct 30, 2011
Interview Details – I hired in through campus. They did a first round interview then brought me in for an office visit. At the office visit I had three interviews. One with a partner, one with a manger, and one with an associate. The partner was laid back and conversational. The manager was also laid back but had to get through a couple of interpersonal questions. The associate asked purely leadership and interpersonal questions (this interview was more intense and I did not care or the style). Be sure to know your leadership style and have multiple examples of leadership situations. I had lunch with two staff auditors after the interview. I was not overly impressed with their extreme use of interpersonal questions. I have interviewed with and received offers from some of the Big 4 and Plante was definitely more intense in their questioning process.

•Describe a time when you were faced with a stressful situation that demonstrated your coping skills.
