I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at PwC (London, England) in Feb 2023
Interview
I went through two rounds of interview, at which point I was told the firm had frozen hiring but they might be in touch in future to continue the process. The HR hiring manager didn’t turn up to the scheduled call four times to pass on this news, and when I finally got on the phone with them they did not give any feedback from the second interview (despite repeatedly promising it).
This was for a fairly senior position and I was gobsmacked that PwC would be so poorly organised, unaware of their hiring needs and so unwilling or unable to give basic feedback to candidates. Will be giving a wide berth in future.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to deliver difficult news to a client
Partner chat - commercial questions around my opinions, technical about specific considerations, what I think about the market and leadership questions: what do you want to do, whats important, how would you lead etc
The interview process was comprehensive and professional, focusing on technical expertise, leadership capabilities, client service skills, and alignment with the organization’s culture and values. Separate interview with HR and 2 x partners
4 stages - 1 with HR, the rest with senior partners; there is an internal committee that assess you profile, and also a internal sponsor you might have. 4 stages - 1 with HR, the rest with senior partners; there is an internal committee that assess you profile, and also a internal sponsor you might have.
