I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Ho Chi Minh City)
Interview
The process was standard with an online test, an assessment center and 3 interviews (1 of which was a case interview)
The interviewers were all nice and helpful. The process could be quicker but overall I was properly introduced to all functions of the management consulting team, what we would be expected to do, opportunities and challenges on the job.
3 rounds - behavioural is key, gotta vibe with the interviewers. Case study is a lot easier than other consulting firms, but still prep for it. It's a great firm to work for really.

Two 45 minute interviews back to back. One was behavioral, and one was a case. The behavioral one was intense, with about 12 questions. The case interview was better, it was more interviewer led. Overall, the people were really nice.
