The first round was an on-campus interview. The questions were mainly based off of my resume but included a couple of behavioral questions. The second-round in-house interview was much the same. Nobody tried throwing any curve balls and everyone seemed to be very sincere.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BDO (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2015
Interview
Spoke with BDO representatives at a career fair on campus for Accountancy Majors. After the career fair I was invited to interview on campus with another representative from the company. I spoke with a Senior Manager for 30 minutes. During this interview, they asked me questions about myself, why I choose the school I go to, why accounting, why audit, etc. After this interview I was invited for an in office interview in Chicago, IL. During the in office interview they took myself and four other candidates out to lunch. We went with four first and second year associates. This was just an ice breaker, and allowing them to get to know us. Afterwards, I sat down with three other Senior Managers for 30 minutes each. During this time, they asked general resume questions, why accounting, and what would I do in certain TEAM scenarios.
