Applied for the position and received a phone screening a few days later. Got a call later that day to invite me for the office interview. The office interview consisted of 4 different people, 30 minutes each. The entire interview was conversational, no behavioral questions. Received a call later that day with an offer.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I spoke with people from BDO at the University's career fair. I really enjoyed the people i met, they were really friendly and easy to talk to . They took us to dinner for a pre-night interview and was a fun experience. The interview was very laid back and personal. They just asked about my experience, why I chose BDO, why i chose accounting for my major, why i chose finance as a minor. Other small talk really. No situational questions in my first interview

Interviewed Oct 2008 (took a day)
I interviewed with several partners and senior managers. They were all very nice and they treated me with respect. I really felt as though I jived with the firm. The few people that I wasn't quite sure about, i later came to really appreciate. I think that the firm is experiencing some growing pains, though.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Ann Arbor, MI (took a day)
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.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took a day)
I interivewed with BDO on campus so they held a dinner at a local restuarant for everyone who got interviews. Everyone was really friendly and nice. My interviewer checked the list for people who RSVPed and did not show up so make sure you come to the dinner. The dinner was also a great way to get to know my interviewer before the interview. I heard back from BDO after only one week.

Interviewed Nov 2007 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 weeks)
It was nice going to the office. The HR person was very friendly and so were the others that I met. I interviewed with a director, a senior manager, and a partner. They were all very approachable and seemed to connect well. I was taken out to lunch by 2 associates. They were able to answer questions and offer very positive insight into the firm. OVerall, I had a good experience.
