Interview
The screening process of PWC SDC is quite stringent as it consists of several rounds and unlike other companies you would get the taste of Big 4 once you step into the interview room.
The first round is of written interview where your basic accounting knowledge will be evaluated.
Then comes the technical round 1 and 2 where you can be grilled to your break even point.
They want to actually see through the candidate as to whether he or she is different from the rest. Your basic and advanced knowledge about Indian Taxation system and Accounting are checked.
If you can successfully clear the technical round they will tell you to wait for the HR round at last otherwise a bid bye means better luck next time (after a span of 6 months though i.e. cooling period).
The HR round is generally basic where they evaluate whether you can give 100% of your dedication to PWC as being the topmost Accounting firm PWC generally provides seamless services to their clients and they expect the candidate to always put their best foot forward in the assigned division.

Question 1
A case study was asked regarding an individual tax calculation comprising of deductions and how much rebate would he be entitled to.
One individual zoom manager interview
+ one partner group interview
(one partner+one manager : three candidates)
Overall quite nice atmosphere
Partner in is like coffee chat
lots of casual chat
Domande molto tecniche anche sulla contabilità, ma probabilmente non era proprio una posizione adatta a me che non ho studiato economia. Il partner era molto pungente, il senior manager invece era una persona gentile e tranquilla.
El proceso fue muy bueno y amable desde el primer contacto, siempre fueron claros y resolvieron mis dudas. Asignaron mis pruebas, entrevistas y documentación a entregar conforme a las fechas acordadas.
