Senior Associate Interview

Negative experience

Average interview

Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at BDO (New York, NY) in May 2016

Interview

In person interview with three different interviewers. 30 minute rounds of One-on-one interviews with each interviewer. The interviewers were overly aggressive about the candidates being able to devote their personal time to the company. Made the job seem a lot more demanding than it probably would have been. Cold, "all-business" interviewers honestly made the job very undesirable.
