First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at BDO.
Auditor
So, it usually starts with you sending in your application, and then some recruiter checks it to see if you fit the basic requirements. If you do, they'll ask you to come in for a first interview to talk about your background and why you're interested in the job. After that, you might have to do a skills test or another interview with the hiring manager or the team. In the end, the company decides who they want and sends an offer to the best person.

Audit Associate
This is for BDO KL Malaysia. I applied and had a screening phone call where they asked about my previous internship, the industries I worked in, and my plans for professional papers. Then there was an online assessment, which was very simple MCQs on English, basic calculations, and a short essay, followed by an online group interview with not-too-hard questions. I got an offer. The whole process took a little over 3 weeks.
