I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at PwC (Düsseldorf) in Jun 2023
Interview
Long time-consuming process with 5-7hours of interviews and business case preparation. It seemed like an expert interview with interest to get information I shared from the first interview that my German skills are area of development and if PwC position owner wants me to prepare the case, the language level that I have should be accepted from the beginning. Nevertheless, it was one of 2 reasons not to accept me after 4 interviews of 60-90 min and business case preparation, plus he decided to test my German skills on the last round that was strange when I said from the beginning I will work on if they recruit me from the beginning. I think if it is a blocker, you shouldn’t ask to prepare the case and invest any more time than 1 interview and of course 5 interview-hours! If you want to get more understanding of market, please find another opportunity than a recruitment process
