What do you know about our company?

RSM's recruiters advise, "Know who you are applying to" and "research the company and come prepared." Additionally, they go on to state, "Know what you are applying for. Employers are looking for enthusiasm and evidence that the applicant has at least considered the opportunity and has applied because they have a genuine interest in the role."

Your goal is not to be caught off guard or draw a blank when answering this question. You want to respond quickly and come across as the sort of trusted resource RSM's clients expect of their employees.

"RSM can trace its origins all the way back to 1926 when Ira McGladrey founded his accounting firm, the I.B. McGladrey company. This all began when he purchased a seven-person office from his employers, Billings, Prouty, and Tompkins. Now nearly a hundred years later, RSM stands as the first choice advisor to middle market companies globally."
