Interview
I was called for an interview after 1.5 months of online submission. The HR emailed me for the first round details with my immediate reporting manager and the partner. They asked me mostly behaviourial questions, although the partner seemed to be less interested in me. The interviwer mentioned their ideal candidates and I knew I was not the one they are looking for. To my surprise, I was called for the second round of interview with a Director and Manger and it was mostly technical.

I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BDO (Hamburgo) in Oct 2025
Interview
Angenehmes Gespräch zu Lebenslauf, Motivation und Personal Fit. Gegen Ende kamen fachliche Fragen, die sich um den spezifischen Bewerbungsbereich drehen. Insgesamt sehr angenehme und positive Erfahrung beim Gespräch. Es wurden keine Fallen gestellt
Colloquio con HR e con il team di riferimento. Necessario dimostrare competenza nel settore di riferimento e conoscenza della lingua inglese medio alta. Nel complesso ho trovato il processo di selezione piacevole
Recruiter reached out, had a discussion about my experience and what they're looking for. Interview with the Principal, then MD and SM. Again, straight forward, discussion of previous experience and what I'm looking for and how it aligns with the group. Recruiter was awesome and moved quickly. Was in talks with two competitors that moved too slow.

In general they just asked what kind of project I've worked on, what I'm looking for.
