      Ethics Administrative Interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BDO (London, England) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      A three-stage interview process. First Stage - Ethical scenario questions, Microsoft Office Competency Test, and a Verbal Reasoning assessment. Second Stage - Meeting with Ethics Manager - competency based questions and discussion about your answers to ethics questions. Final Stage - If successful after 2nd stage, meeting with Ethics Director and Ethics Partner Unfortunately, despite me reaching the final interview stage, no one in HR had the decency to let me know that I hadn't been successful, nor did they have the courtesy to tell me that the original resourcer I'd been liaising with had left the business. After sending polite and timely follow-up emails and calls, I received no response which I found to be disgraceful, especially from a firm that prides themselves on their professionalism and building relationships with people. The lack of communication I experienced was unacceptable. When I finally got ahold of someone in HR for feedback, as it was obvious after 3 weeks of waiting that I wasn't successful, none had been provided.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Ethics Question - You are travelling with three other passengers in a bus. The driver loses control and the bus crashes into a ditch. You notice that petrol is leaking quite rapidly and you are the only person who is still mobile after the crash. In the bus are a pregnant woman, your neighbour, who you know has terminal cancer, and the bus driver who is 65 years old. The car is about to explode in one minute and you can either save the pregnant woman or save both the neighbour and the bus driver.
