I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Detroit, MI) in Sep 2016
Interview
First and final round interviews were conducted via Google Hangouts.
First round was only three behavioral interview questions regarding "whole leadership." Besides that, they just asked when I will have 150 credits. The rest of the interview is the candidates time for asking questions. I'd recommend asking questions about personal experiences of the interviewer at this stage because it is HR and the lady I spoke with did not know much about PwC.
For the final round, senior managers or partners interview you. There were two 45 minute interviews during this stage. Before the interviews, you have a 30 minute session with a "greeter" that is usually an associate that can answer any questions you have and help diagnose any technical difficulties if you have any. I just had a conversation with both interviewers. Each interviewer stated they hated the behavioral questions they are suppose to ask so we skipped them and just had a conversation. The partner I interviewed with in the final interview told me if they send me a survey about the virtual interviews to be "brutally honest" and tell them how I feel about and if I hated it say why I hated it.
Overall, all three interviewers were great. However, the entire interview process being virtual was a huge turn off as a candidate. I declined the offer because PwC did a final round interview over Google Hangouts verse an office visit. I understand you get a "celebratory" office visit if you get an offer, however, I declined the offer because I don't like that candidates are evaluated over Google Hangouts verse in person for the final round. I especially didn't like the final round being virtual because I live less than 10 minutes away from the office.
The interview process included an initial application review followed by an online interview with members of the team. They asked about my previous experiences, motivation for joining PwC, understanding of the role, teamwork skills
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you worked as part of a team to solve a problem.
Was pretty basic in a sense. The interviewers are really chill and laid back so not much pressure. The setting was quite noisy so ensure that you use a loud speaking voice and good gestures.
