I applied online. I interviewed at PwC (London, England) in Aug 2022
Interview
Interviewed for strategy role i.e. Strategy& team.
Very traditional case study based interview. It was not hard, but more math / GMAT style, which may be suited for freshers role. But, I had 11+ yrs of strategy consulting exp, and it was lame to judge me like a fresher on my analytical skills only, than on my industry experience and project delivery exp.
I was not expecting such a case. And, of course didn't do well doing all the calculations on paper. Haven't used pen/paper since ages.
Very disappointed with the interview process / method
