I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at BDO (New York, NY) in May 2016
Interview
In person interview with three different interviewers. 30 minute rounds of One-on-one interviews with each interviewer. The interviewers were overly aggressive about the candidates being able to devote their personal time to the company. Made the job seem a lot more demanding than it probably would have been. Cold, "all-business" interviewers honestly made the job very undesirable.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
How flexible are you to work overtime and respond to last minute requests that require extra work?
A new assignment comes in on a Friday afternoon with a deliverable of COB the following Monday and you have a pre standing personal engagement that weekend, what do you do?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BDO
Interview
One interview with senior manager and one interview with partner. The interviews themselves were fine, both interviewers were nice enough and the questions weren't difficult.
However, what I was really frustrated about was that they just ghosted me right after the interviews. The HR asked for some additional materials after my partner interview, I provided it and I never heard back from them ever again. I sent follow up emails and they never bothered replying, while I see them still being active on Linkedin trying to recruit people for the role.

Question 1
What are your weaknesses?
What was the most difficult thing at your previous role?
Hostile Interview, one of them, mentioned about getting PIP. So, I assume that if I make a slight wrong move, I am getting PIP is it? I never encounter any of the big4 interviews mentioned of getting PIP. Instead of getting PIP, how about you mentioned about train your staff properly? Since you have the highest expectation towards the staff, I also have the highest expectation from you to train and motivate us properly so we can meet your silly expectation.
