I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PwC (El Paso, TX) in Feb 2020
Interview
I was interviewed by one of the directors in the tax department.
During the interview I had to answered a lot of behavioral questions. For example:
Tell me about a time you helped a work colleague to solve a work problem
Tell me about a stressful situation at work and how you handled it
Hell me about a time you had to deal with uncertainty at work and how you handled it

I applied online. I interviewed at PwC (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2026
Interview
Interview process was very straightforward and went well! There was one scenario-based interview and one behavioral interview. 30-minutes each, back-to-back. I interviewed with a Director and and Partner and they were both super friendly and kind. The interview questions were somewhat challenging but nothing beyond what you would expect. The interview experience was somewhat casual and didn't really feel like you were being interviewed.

Question 1
Imagine you get transferred to a new team and have an important client meeting that you have to lead in a few days. What steps do you take to make sure that you are as prepared as possible before the meeting?
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at PwC (Jakarta) in Oct 2025

The interview process was online and felt very chill. It lasted about 25 minutes and included roughly ten HR questions, mainly focused on personality, motivation, and basic fit with the role and company.

Question 1
Could you please tell me a bit about yourself in your own words?
Tell me about a time you had to work with people from different backgrounds — how did you make it work?
HR contacted me first, then I passed an online test (English and math/logic). Second stage was the test with other candidates in the office with tax-specific questions. Finally, I had a call with two company representatives - I had to tell more about myself and why I fit the position and they checked my tax knowledge.
