I interviewed at PwC (Minneapolis, MN) in Mar 2021
Interview
It was two interviews over video chat and felt very natural and conversational. They make sure to ask you about your questions and concerns and want to get to know you as a person more than an employee in order to see how you would fit in. So just be yourself.

Question 1
Describe a time when you had to work in a team or group and take lead and how did you do so.
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.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at PwC (Jakarta) in Oct 2025
Interview
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.
