I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BDO (New York, NY) in Oct 2017
Interview
It was pleasant, the person I interviewed with was really nice and interesting, however, I wasn't expecting a technical question which they did ask. The interview was an hour and I felt like there wasn't much to talk about it in that much time with the same person.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BDO (Toronto, ON) in July 2019
Interview
Phone interview and in person interview. It was the usual accounting interview setup. Nice people however HR was slow to get back and give word. The Big 4 recruiting process was a lot faster and smoother.
