The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC in Jan 2014
Interview
I attended a school that PwC does not actively recruit from. I was contacted by a recruiter to set a phone interview. The phone interview was focused on my academic experience and was conversation based. Later that day I was contacted to set up an in-office interview. The office visit consisted of three interviews and a lunch. All three of the interviews were conversation based. They really just want to get to know you and see if you fit in with the firm. Make sure you know your strengths and weaknesses. Questions were also concerned with leadership experience and conflict resolution.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you used your personal network to accomplish a goal?
I applied online. I interviewed at PwC (Londres, Angleterre)
Interview
Immediately after submitting your application you will be invited to the first stage, an online assessment involving maths and logic problems, similar to other companies.
About a month later I was notified of the second stage, an online virtual assessment centre. The VAC lasted about 4 hrs and has three parts: a group interview where we discuss a fictional consulting problem, an individual task writing a report based on given information, and a one-to-one interview that mainly focuses on your experience in the group session, along with some motivational/behavioural questions.
The third stage is a one-to-one in-person partner interview. Before your interview they’ll invite you to a coaching call where they tell you some things that may come up and how to prepare. They’ll also give you some idea about how you did in the VAC and what you can improve. At the actual interview, the style really depends on your interviewer and it felt more like a coffee chat. Although my advice is to study some PwC values and your own motivation beforehand. The interview was nice and I was notified about my result in only about 3 weeks.
lot of stages of interview. i need to take a test. then go through the first stage of interview. then 2nd interview is quite tough as they the questions are more very high thinking level which i am underprepared. but it was a great experience.
The process was well-structured and professional overall. It included behavioral questions, discussions about audit/accounting concepts, and questions focused on teamwork and problem-solving. Interviewers were friendly and made the conversation comfortable. The process was moderately challenging but fair, with clear communication throughout.
