PwC Tax Associate Interview student candidate

Posted Nov 13, 2012

No Offer – Interviewed in Philadelphia, PA (US) Oct 2012 – Reviewed Nov 13, 2012

Interview Details Initial on-campus interview. Went well. The interviewer asked four main questions: "can you give me an example of a time you showed leadership?" "Can you give me an example of a time you showed empathy?" Basically just asking you about PwC's core values.

Second interview I was called back to the Philadelphia office. I was with three others. Interviewed with one partner and three managers. Interviews went well and I thought I was a contender for a spot. Two weeks past and I got the rejection letter. Heard from the guy that did get the job that he was offered the job a few hours after the interview. I figure they wait-listed me and were just waiting for the guy to accept.

Interview Question – You went to three years of law school, why now do you want to work for an accounting firm?   View Answer

Other Details - I applied through campus recruiting and the process took 4 weeks.
