I applied in-person. I interviewed at BDO (Seattle, WA) in June 2013
Interview
Interviews with local partners and then senior regional partner if available. Everyone appeared very unprepared with one interviewer appearing to almost fall asleep. Turns out the poor interview process should have been a red flag not to accept the job.

Question 1
Nothing really relevant therefore underlining that the interviewers were not skilled or experienced
Easy and well coordinated. Really give you the BDO full package of what there is to offer. I would recommend looking at all BDO is involved in to sound informed
Process included two rounds and more focused on technical aspects of the role. It started off with first round with directors followed by final round with partners. Both rounds were around an hour or so.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BDO (Frankfurt am Main) in May 2025
