I applied through college or university. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at BDO (Frankfurt am Main) in Jan 2023
Interview
At the end of 3 interviews, after agreeing on everything including the job description and salary, although all the interviews were in English, I was asked to learn German at B2 level within 3 months as a condition to start a job, and they refused to send a job offer.
