I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BDO (Ann Arbor, MI) in Oct 2009
Interview
The majority of my interactions with the recruiters on campus have not been positive. The firm did not put any effort into getting to know students through pre-nights, and were very unaccommodating when students inquired about locations that were not their target offices for the school.
My 1:1 interview was very lackluster, it lasted only about 25 minutes and there were only about 3 questions asked in the first 10 minutes before I was asked if I had any questions about the firm. This was most likely an isolated incident based on the recruiter, but the experience that I have had with the firm has been the worst of any accounting firm that I have been in contact with.
From my experience, BDO's recruitment process moves quite quickly. HR often contacts shortlisted candidates on short notice. For instance, test results may be released on the 2nd, while the HR screening interview is scheduled on the 4th. This means candidates need to be prepared and flexible, as there is usually little time to prepare between stages.
