First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at RCLCO.
Analyst
The interview process started with an initial quiz which was pretty simple, asking about graphic analysis and basic real estate terms. After that, there was an initial phone screening, followed by a video interview with two managers. The final interview was about an hour long, with basic interview questions and then a difficult real estate case question. One of the managers was 30 minutes late to the final interview, which messed up the flow and I had to repeat questions. This interviewer also seemed uninterested, distracted, and was abrasive and unwelcoming, checking emails and messing with their camera. After the final interview, I was ghosted and HR didn't respond to my follow-up. It was a really unprofessional experience.

Intern
It was a phone screen, then an on-campus one-on-one interview, followed by a web quiz, and finally an on-site panel interview which included a case question. The interviews themselves were mostly behavioral and conversational, designed to see if you'd vibe with the company culture. Honestly, the interviews were the best part of my experience compared to many others I've had. The web quiz and the case question were about checking your skills in using data to solve multi-step problems. If you can do basic problem-solving and read/understand data, you should be fine with all the questions.
- Did the web quiz include analytical questions that assessed your ability to read graphs?
- Did the web quiz include analytical questions that assessed your ability to interpret data?
- Did the web quiz include analytical questions that assessed your ability to conduct stoichiometric calculations?
Real Estate Market Analyst
I had two phone interviews initially, first with a regional director and then a hiring partner. They wanted to see if I was eligible. Then, I was invited to their Orlando office for an in-person interview. I had to pay for my own travel expenses. There were 4 other candidates there at the same time. We were all split up and the company partners, including the CEO, took turns talking to us. They spent most of the time telling me about the company and threw in a few questions. The whole thing took about 2 hours because of the rotations. It was pretty intense, but it didn't really feel like they had a clear focus or were trying to find the best fit. It seemed like they had already made up their minds and were just going through the motions. I didn't get an offer because they decided to reevaluate their hiring needs. The whole process was long, stressful, and made me question the company culture.

Associate
The interview process had three steps for me. First, there was an on-campus interview with two senior people. It was mostly behavioral; they asked about my experience, my interests, my thoughts on real estate, etc. About a week after that, I got a five-question online web quiz that checked quantitative and qualitative abilities. I didn't find it too hard, but I guess many people get cut here, so make sure to double-check your answers. A little while later, I was invited for a final day of interviews. I had about four interviews, each lasting around 30-45 minutes. Three of these interviews had multiple interviewers, and the last one was a one-on-one with the CEO. Important note: Some of my emails weren't getting through the company's server, and for a time, they thought I was being unresponsive. If you don't hear back, be persistent until you get a response.
- The entire interview with the CEO involved many difficult personality questions asked quickly.
