I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BDO (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2012
Interview
The first interview went great. The HR rep was wonderful. She was very easy to talk to. It was like talking to your best friends mother that you've known for years. The interview was centered around your resume, so pretty simple.
The second interview was a completely different story. That was much more behavioral. But what I didn't appreciate was the attitude of the employees that were not part of the interview process. They were just there to answer any questions we had and make us feel more comfortable. I seriously felt like I was talking to the head cheerleader and the captain of the football team. They had that attitude of "I'm right and you're always wrong" which is not welcoming at all. Those are your front men? If that's supposed to be a representation of your office culture, I'd be worried.
Therefore, I decided to rate the interview process as "no opinion"; one bad experience washes out the one good experience.
Background part question is common and easy to answer such as why company and why job. The interviewers are kind and nice. They also introduce the company culture and their own experience to you. The whole experience is great.
Pretty nice, friendly people and mostly behavior questions not very challenging. Pay is average audit salary. Good to learn a bit more about the company. Feel like mostly introvert professionals in the team

Il colloquio è suddiviso in 3 steps: 1)colloquio di gruppo dove si svolge un caso studio; 2) colloquio conoscitivo con l'HR dove vengono fatte alcune domande di inglese ma molto basilari; 3) colloquio tecnico con manager dove mi aveva chiesto di svolgere degli esercizi di partita doppia, nozioni in generale su economia aziendale (ad esempio, avviamento ecc)
