I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BDO (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
The hiring and interview process is very straightforward and similar to that as the Big 4 and other mid-tier Firms. Recruiting is done on a seasonal basis from college campuses. The interview I had lasted roughly half an hour where most of the time was spent focused on my experience and resume. Overall, it was a very straightforward typical resume, nothing technical.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself. Why the field? What inspired you to go into it? Tell me about your previous job experience
It was great, they ask behavioural question which requires common sense for you to answer. Other than that, they also ask few technical question which maybe easy for those who are well prepared
