I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BDO (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2024
Interview
Received a call from HR. HR was not friendly at first and had an attitude but changed after i told her something. After that was interview with Partner - was chill and easy. He explained the structure in BDO and it sounded kinda rigid. Tried to follow up after the interview and HR did not reply. Got the email after 2 weeks of the interview saying I meet the requirements.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself, Why BDO, Why Ireland, Tell me a situation you handled conflict, What issues/accounts did you audit, how you handle the team, ISA 315
Easy but not reflective of actual culture: induction was poorly planned. It wasn’t per expectation. They had a long process and did not offer my first choice location and I wasn’t given an option to choose.
It was a very detailed interview with 3 rounds and fair amount of technical questions. The first round was with HR and then the remaining two rounds was technical and functional.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at BDO (Sydney) in Aug 2025
Interview
The interview process was smooth and well structured overall. It began with an initial discussion about my background and experience, followed by more detailed conversations focusing on my technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and previous project experience. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process, and it provided a good opportunity to understand the role and expectations better.
