I applied online. I interviewed at PwC (Dallas, TX) in Oct 2020
Interview
I spoke to a recruiter and explained the type of experience the department is looking for. I have less than 5 years of experience - I was told that it is flexible and can be hired as a Sr Associate. I was then transferred to another recruiter whom I did not speak with, only email once, and set up a technical screen interview. The technical screen interview lasted 5 minutes. The technical interview was rescheduled three times and the second to last time was cancelled at the time it was supposed to begin. The interviewer began by calling in 15 minutes late and explained he had been interviewing all day so wanted to make it quick. He asked me to introduce myself and then asked me what my last role was three times. He then cut the interview short and answered my questions very short. He stated my experience is not what they are looking for as he wants someone with executive experience.
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.
