I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (New York, NY) in Mar 2017
Interview
Very rigorous interview, you would think I was interviewing for an Executive level. All behavioral questions (15), I believe they wanted me to fail, however, I answered all to the best of my ability. I sensed from the start of the interview, they had already selected the candidate and this interview was a formality.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All behavioral questions (15) related to the framework, and one normal question at the end. Why PWC?
All individual.
First to receive a HR call, which is the basic question and strength and weakness.
Then to interview with Senior manager
Finally interview with Partner
The questions are mainly on work experience and a few technical questions.
I interviewed for a position that's slightly out of my expertise. They took the time to understand why and was engaging to explain what the role requires. There were 3 of them.
Softball questions. Technical questions were nothing difficult and so weren't memorable. Interviews were more of a soft skills check than anything else. The decision was already made once my resume was seen.
