I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (New York, NY) in Nov 2018
Interview
Two virtual interviews--one with a manager, and the other with a partner. The interview with the manager went very well, it felt very casual, he was genuinely engaged in our formal and informal conversations. Unfortunately, my interview with the partner was not great, the partner was 5-10 minutes late, his cellphone rang twice during our interview, he did not seem engaged in our conversation at all. All he asked were questions that were provided to him for the interview process. Lastly, he stopped our interview 5 minutes early because he had another person to interview right after me, so I did not get the opportunity to ask questions at the end. Very disappointing because I felt as though my time was not respected by this partner. It's basic interview etiquette to not be late to an interview and turn your phone off or put it on silent/vibrate mode.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you received developmental feedback about your schoolwork or a work assignment.
Very straightforward, partners & senior managers were friendly and asked expected technical questions. Key thing to stand out is to really research the company and how the grad programme works - focus on exactly what you will do in assurance, what the role would look like and also some basic accounting understanding.
online application for graduate role had initial aptitude test. I passed and did the one way digital interview which was just answering 2 questions where you record your self. Passed and went to assessment center which was a group case study and interview.
There will be 2 parts in the interview process. First is case study and second is user interview. Case study is about if you become an auditor, how will you audit the client. The user interview is basic questions like experience, where will you be in 5 years, etc.
