It was a behavioral interview with a very friendly but formal atmosphere. It was a direct interview with partners at the firm. Though it would also be likely to speak with managers and directors.

I applied for an ESG consultant job as an ESG-backgrounded candidate, but I was requested to complete a 3-hour written exam, which is totally about internal audit on my first interview. I understood that ESG and IA are under the same team in BDO, but the exam was too demanding for an ESG but not an IA position.
