Applied online for the Real Estate Advisory Associate role in Toronto. Heard back within a couple of weeks with an invitation for an initial recruiter screen. The call was short — about five minutes — mostly confirming my background, interest in real estate advisory, and availability. The recruiter outlined the rest of the process: a round with the hiring manager, then an in-person case study (about an hour), and a final more informal conversation with leadership. Straightforward and well-communicated throughout.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Bengaluru) in Mar 2021
Interview
There were two rounds of selection. First was the aptitude test, clearing which, there was an interview. The interview had two panelist. Both were supportive and calm. If you have the will and preparation to enter PwC, you can easily get through it. All the best folks!
Made it to a case round where they asked fairly basic questions about a business case and what I would do with new data. Pretty standard for consulting interviews, nothing unexpected.

Question 1
Given this new data for the business case we gave you, how would you update your recommendations?
Online test and then in person interview. The online tests were faily standard. Interview process followed why pwc and why the role etc . They then asked if I wanted to ask them anything and I could tell that they were interested to see if I'd researched the role and company and had applicable questions.
