I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BDO (Perth, Western Australia) in Mar 2024
Interview
Very straight forward interview process, with role related questions, generic teamwork, dispute resolution etc. This was for a climate/sustainability role. Interviewer was friendly and easy to talk to. In saying that I wouldn't be surprised if such a large company has hiring KPI's to hit, because the feedback I got post interview was very positive, but they also stated "we want someone who's eager to grow with us", and I made very sure to communicate my passion and enthusiasm to learn too, (I did reiterate), but I wasn't given an actual example of how that area was lacking.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have experience with climate related reporting?
First round was video interview with questions that had a time limit to prepare for. Mostly understanding interest in the role and understanding of the firm. Prep for shorter responses because of the time limit, limited retakes.
Group Interview on the assessment day following an 1v1 Individual Interview with a partner and a manager. The whole interview process was quick, 30 minutes for the group and 20 minutes for the individual one.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at BDO
Interview
It was an interview for a tax grad role. They asked me simple questions like about my uni experience, etc. Partner was also present coz the team was small. He was looking for someone with genuine interest in tax.
