I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BDO (London, England) in Feb 2016
Interview
After passing the online tests I was invited for an interview. I received this email on Saturday and had to choose from three time slots during Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the following week so it was quite short notice. I arrived at 11:30 for my 12:00pm interview. I was offered water and in general BDO was very welcoming.
The interview itself was quite informal. My interviewer told me a little bit about herself and how she got to BDO and assured me that she remembered what it felt like to interview and that she wants me to do my best.
First I was asked questions about my A-levels, why I chose my university and why I chose my degree.
Then we went onto the Competency based questions around their competencies and values
Then more specific BDO related questions:
- Why BDO, Why Audit, values and what are the other service lines
It was very relaxed and very straight forward.
I got an email the next day inviting me for an AC.
Background part question is common and easy to answer such as why company and why job. The interviewers are kind and nice. They also introduce the company culture and their own experience to you. The whole experience is great.
Pretty nice, friendly people and mostly behavior questions not very challenging. Pay is average audit salary. Good to learn a bit more about the company. Feel like mostly introvert professionals in the team

Il colloquio è suddiviso in 3 steps: 1)colloquio di gruppo dove si svolge un caso studio; 2) colloquio conoscitivo con l'HR dove vengono fatte alcune domande di inglese ma molto basilari; 3) colloquio tecnico con manager dove mi aveva chiesto di svolgere degli esercizi di partita doppia, nozioni in generale su economia aziendale (ad esempio, avviamento ecc)
