I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jul 2020
Interview
I gave interview in PWC for Manager - Front End Developer role and my interview experience was quite bad , I have asked to HR about the job description multiple times but she said she doesn't have any JD for this role, and in interview, instead of asking my current project and current role and skills ,interviewer asked me questions based on the skills I have used/worked five years back and not using in current project, and they were expecting the answer from me, and as expected, their feedback was negative and they rejected me, I didn't expect this from one of the big four organisation. I spoke to HR regarding this but I did not get any response from her.
They shouldn't shortlist my profile if they were looking for different skills set.
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.
