I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Bengaluru) in Sep 2015
Interview
PwC India - Very annoying. No proper screening and proper job profile matching. No timing for interview's, they want us to be available for interview on weekdays and keep us waiting for long time,surprisingly not even one word sorry after coming late. First these ppl offer job of higher roles and tell to give interview, then reduce the level telling some non-sense reason, then tell everything done and collect docs.. after sending docs, they come back asking to give again interview and this time they tell we are looking for developers, can you join? These people basically try to sell jobs, telling fascinating things like we are growing, need people to lead, manage and who gets people with them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We want Managers who can code in Java and implement tasks alone....etc etc
All individual.
First to receive a HR call, which is the basic question and strength and weakness.
Then to interview with Senior manager
Finally interview with Partner
The questions are mainly on work experience and a few technical questions.
I interviewed for a position that's slightly out of my expertise. They took the time to understand why and was engaging to explain what the role requires. There were 3 of them.
Softball questions. Technical questions were nothing difficult and so weren't memorable. Interviews were more of a soft skills check than anything else. The decision was already made once my resume was seen.
