The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Philadelphia, PA) in Dec 2017
Interview
3 Phone Screens and in-person.
Take heed. The original iteration of PWC was sold to IBM and look what happened. Bearing Point? HP? CSC? Notice the pattern of failure. Attempting the same thing and expecting the same results, well you know. Given that my experience is in the decades, no free process improvement consulting. I could go on for hours on this. Suffice it to say, nothing has changed in my experience with these outfits since the 90s. The infantile throwing around of “I’m a partner”, sub par people etc. Anyone who is any good does not work here, so if you are not an H1B or a freshly minded B school dimwit, do not waste your time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If they had any brains, they would know the right questions to ask, but that did not happen
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.
