I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BDO (Solon, OH) in Oct 2016
Interview
I applied through my university. My first round interview was at the college career center where I met an HR related person who just asked me simple behavioral questions on why I chose BDO. It was very general and pleasant. Was asked back for a second round interview at their offices via a phone call about a couple weeks later and it was with 3 interviewers one after another with around 15 other students from other universities. Interviewers were very pleasant and generally asked behavioral questions tailored from your resume. Struck up good conversation with all three while answering the questions and the 30 minutes basically flew by. I received a phone call confirming if I wanted to join their company as an intern about a month later.
Online hirevue video recording, then you go in for in-person assessment centre where you sit at a table with 5 other applicants and go through a scenario, from there it is a one-on-one interview.
Das Vorstellungsgespräch verlief insgesamt okay. Ich konnte die Fragen beantworten, jedoch wurden teilweise unnötige Fragen gestellt und die Atmosphäre war nicht besonders angenehm. Dadurch wirkte das Gespräch nicht so angenehm.

Question 1
Weshalb hast du dich entschieden dich entschieden auf diese Stelle zu bewerben
It is quite lenghty. I snoozed off a little bit waiting for my turn as it was a group interview. Honestly, I messed up the interview. The questions were quite common but I think I didn’t prepared enough for the interview (or maybe the waiting time does effect my focus idk ?). I hope I can do better in the future.
