I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BDO (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2022
Interview
Start with self introduction and ask questions on resume.
Once they noticed you come from Big4, they start asking why you choose them. No matter what answer you gave them. They would say the scale and size of their engagements are different from Big4. If you come from Big4, you will go away finally.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at BDO (Reading, England) in Feb 2020
Interview
Two stage interview with different audit partners with an offer with 2 days. Very quick turnaround from interview to offer.
They was a 30 min case study where you are given a 30minutes to study company financial statements and asked questions in the next 30 minutes. The focus was on understanding the business, identifying significant judgements and estimates and other key audit risks
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral based interviews aligned to their strategy
One interview, some technical audit questions but mostly just a chat and very two way so was not difficult and was put at ease straight away. Offered the job there and then and was shown round the building and the team etc
