I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BDO (Glasgow, Scotland) in Jan 2018
Interview
Assessment day consists of group work, a solo presentation lasting about half an hour on the topic of the group work, drafting a reply to an email and a partners interview. Very relaxed day, partners interview by far has the most weighting on whether you are offered the job or not as they can over rule everyone.
