I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Johannesburg)
Interview
3 Case Interviews typical of a consultancy. Also one can expect several fit questions relating to consulting and the specific division that you are applying into. These are normally at the start of the interview and it is therefore important to get started on the right foot.
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.

Question 1
Given this new data for the business case we gave you, how would you update your recommendations?
Online test and then in person interview. The online tests were faily standard. Interview process followed why pwc and why the role etc . They then asked if I wanted to ask them anything and I could tell that they were interested to see if I'd researched the role and company and had applicable questions.
