I applied online. I interviewed at BDO in Mar 2018
Interview
Video interview consisted of around 10 questions.
Each question gives you 30 sec to think about and 1:30 mins to answer.
Their questions are more strength based. They give you scenarios and ask you what would you do.

Question 1
What do you do if you have a tight deadline to meet?
The process was pretty easy and the staff were alright to talk to. Was not as stressful as it could have been. Would probably recommend to anyone who is interested.

Question 1
Tell us about a time where you supported a colleague
Laborious, way too many stages. I hate the current trend of having three stage interviews. Filling up word limit now. Still filling it. Still doing it. Jesus. Still going. Thirty words is way too many.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BDO (Gatwick, England) in Apr 2024
