I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PwC (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2010
Interview
Received call from national recruiter for assurance a day or two after employee made referral. We did a few phone calls regarding the position and so forth. I decided to take initiative and go out to the city at my own expense to expedite the physical interview process. I met with three individuals during my visit. No lunch afterwards and the HR lady that was supposed to meet me up there was out sick. The coordinator there was not extremely pleasant to work with.
The national recruiter was nice and the interview appeared to go well. I sent thanks via email and only the national recruiter and 2 of the 3 I interviewed with replied. They were shocked that I didn't get the position.
Interviews went fine, was about four interviews and there was the general schmoozing during the lunch/dinner events. Pretty standard with other big four interviews that have been taking place so shouldn’t be as hard.
The interview process was well-structured and professional. The interviewers were friendly, asked relevant technical and behavioral questions, and provided clear insights into the role and company culture. Overall, a positive experience.
Usually HR interview followed by a technical interview with the partner. Overall the process can be lengthy and time consuming . The negative side is I was not informed for a long time after the final (3rd) interview if they were proceeding with the offer or no.
