PwC Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I sought out the company by speaking to a recruiter and setting up an office visit while in school. I later interviewed on campus for a 3 day summer leadership program, which I was selected for. After a successful completion of the program, I was given an offer for an internship. After a successful internship, I was given a full-time job offer. The initial interview involved meeting with someone on campus, and they recommended me to the office I wanted to work for. If I were interviewing for the internship or full-time, I would have then had a 2nd interview at the office where I wanted to work.

Negotiation Details – They don't negotiate on price or very much at all actually. They do a lot of research as far as the market value and pay a similar salary as the other Big 4. May be able to negotiate other things such as start date and moving expenses if necesary.

Interview Details – Why PwC? and make sure to have lots of questions prepared for the inteviewer.

Negotiation Details – I had a long time to relpy and they called and emailed me often to see if they could answer any additional questions. The Tax Partner even called me on Thanks Giving day when he was with his kids to ask me how I was doing and if he could answer any questions- really meant a lot to me to see how much he cared!

Interview Details – It is a very strenuous process that takes weeks, even months to complete. Have patience because you will need it.

1st rd - Phone screening with HR to talk about my background and what I was looking for
2nd rd - Phone interview with Mgr to discuss my background, technical skills and where I would fit in with the advisory group (ARCA)
3rd rd - Two In person interviews with a manager and senior manager. Sr Mgr was late to our meeting so we didn't have much time to talk, however we discussed my background and what he was looking for.
Mgr interview was more technical in nature and consisted of very detailed questions previous projects, what skills were used, etc.

Interview Details – I applied online and got a campus interview a week later. Before the interview there was a pre-night dinner with other candidates and the interviewer. In the interview, the director did not ask any general behavioral question but just went through my resume and asked many details about all my experience.

Interview Details – First round interview for campus hires is done at the educational institution, second round in the office. The second round interview consists of 3 back to back interviews.

Interview Details – Found through an informal job posting on my university's career center website from an alum. Emailed my resume to the alum, who then sent it to the Director, who then sent it to HR to start the interview process.

4 different phone interviews, which were pretty tough. Lots of tricky behavioral questions.

Approved for an in-person interview, with 2 partners, a manager, and a Senior Associate. They were fairly informal and easy-going. Some behavioral questions. They said they were impressed with my resume and that I'd be hearing from them "soon."

A week later, I still hadn't heard anything, so I emailed the original recruiter, who said he'd be back to me by the middle of the coming week, at the latest. When I hadn't heard from him by Friday, I emailed him again and got no response.

On Monday, my job status on their website was changed to "Not Selected." I had to call the recruiter myself later that week to confirm.

I loved the team members I interviewed with, but my treatment by HR after the fact was pitiful.

Interview Details – Meeting my interviewer during the pre-interview dinner was a great experience. Everybody was extremely easy to talk to and start conversations with, which automatically made it very easy for me to feel comfortable about my interview and the people I would meet. The people are honest about their work experience and diverse in their knowledge and skills.

Interview Details – Met with several staff levels individually. It was very informal and had all the "Top 100 Interview Questions". Honestly, I think they only look at your suit, quality of eye contact, ability to hold a conversation, and your GPA. It helps to have an "in".

Reason for Declining – The office is on the smaller side and there aren't that many public companies in Tampa.

Interview Details – First I had an on campus interview. I was very nervous but the interviewer was very relaxed and asked very easy questions. The on-site interview was a little more tough as I had to interview with 3 directors and 1 partner. However, they were all very nice and asked simple and easy to answer questions.
