Fair, transparent interview process, with several stages, from testing for logic and math skills to english and finally the 2 stage interview, one with HR and a Manager and the final one with the Director
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.
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.
