      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PwC (Kuala Lumpur) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      Application Your journey starts with the application. When you apply for a job on our webpage, you will be asked to create an account to our personal system Workday. In your Workday account you can check the progress of our application during the recruitment process. Game-based assessment Once your application is accepted by a recruiter, you will get an email invitation to a quick and enjoyable set of games. You will be asked to undertake a series of short challenges, which are designed to measure several different skills and abilities in an interactive and stimulating way. Those should take you no more than 15 minutes. After the assessment, you will receive an insight report with feedback on your performance via email. Please note that this will not be a final assessment nor recruitment result. These will be provided by a recruiter who will get in touch with you after the assessment. You can be assigned also with some other online test(s) - English language test or some technical test (e.g. Accounting) if applicable for given position in your territory. Video interview This is a unique opportunity to bring your application to life and to stand out from the rest. A video interview shows who you are much better than a paper cover letter attached to your CV. Learn more about our video interview tool that has replaced the pre-screening step of the selection process. You can choose the time and place, and you can arrange to respond to the questions at your own convenience. Assessment Center The assessment center is a full-day event consisting of two to three stages, such as group exercises, interviews and exams. This may sound like a lot, but it is a great opportunity for you to show off a range of skills and how motivated you are. It is also a chance to meet potential future colleagues and to learn more about PwC and our corporate culture. Interview with manager and/or partner The one-on-one interview provides you with an opportunity to display your best qualities. We are looking for evidence of your skills, experience and abilities. We also want to see that you have carefully considered your career choice. You should be able to demonstrate your clear interest in the business world and PwC, and that you have what it takes to be a “PwC Professional”. Offer and pre-hire portal If you are offered a position with PwC and you accept it, you will be invited to join our portal Look Inside for new joiners to learn more about the firm’s corporate culture, what your first days and months will look like and how to connect with us and other new joiners. You can also initiate this by connecting with your recruiter. Start date You will receive practical information about your first day from your recruiter or any other PwC representative in your country. You will be most probably asked to do some preparations before your start date such as providing some personal information or/and documents. Please check your email and follow the instructions. First working day you will receive all the equipment needed and do not worry - you will not be alone in this as we have a buddy system so you will be assigned with somebody who will help you with all necessary things. Good luck!

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at PwC

      Interview

      Applied online for the Real Estate Advisory Associate role in Toronto. Heard back within a couple of weeks with an invitation for an initial recruiter screen. The call was short — about five minutes — mostly confirming my background, interest in real estate advisory, and availability. The recruiter outlined the rest of the process: a round with the hiring manager, then an in-person case study (about an hour), and a final more informal conversation with leadership. Straightforward and well-communicated throughout.

      Question 1

      Why are you interested in advisory specifically?

      Application

      I interviewed at PwC (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Made it to a case round where they asked fairly basic questions about a business case and what I would do with new data. Pretty standard for consulting interviews, nothing unexpected.
