I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BDO (London, England) in Nov 2025
Interview
Went through an initial application, assessment (arctic shore), video interview and then an assessment centre (included one interview, a group project and an individual presentation). Both the interview and presentation were with people from the stream you’re applying for
The interview was a positive experience. The interview was over Teams. The interviewers were nice and relaxed. The interview lasted about an hour. They started by introducing the company before going through my CV. I was asked a lot of "personal" questions related to my free time, school and current education. Finally, there were some situation-based questions. I didn't get a case, but I think that's common at BDO.
