I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BDO in Nov 2015
Interview
Everyone I met at the office (human resources manager, audit manager and two partners) was friendly and approachable. First, the candidate meets with a human resources manager whom likely assesses general social and interpersonal skills. Second, assuming you have passed the initial test, the candidate will receive a call to meet with a manager to discuss the opportunity. Then, after meeting with the manager a discussion is held with a partner. Third, on a subsequent day, the candidate meets with another partner to discuss the role and the candidate's match with the firm in greater detail.
