There were three 30-minute interviews. The interviewers asked about me and why I was interested in RSM. They were all very nice. It seemed like they were looking for someone with more accounting experience, as my background is in analytics.

Behavioral Technical
It was a pretty easy behavioral interview, just one round with two recruiters back-to-back. The first recruiter was super chill, mostly asked what I knew about the company, and then we just chatted about my interests in AI and its advancements, tailoring the convo based on my resume. The second interviewer was a bit more standard, asking typical STAR format questions.
