I applied through other source. I interviewed at PwC (Melbourne) in Feb 2024
Interview
Initial recruiter, 4 weeks after I applied, asked at 11am if i was available from 12pm that day with no alternatives for future. The job description dissapeared from workday so unable to see it.
First round interview, I asked 4 times before the interview to see the job description and was ignored. Interview was only confirmed at 6pm the day before for 11am the day after. Was told by one recruiter it would be a behavioural and competency based interview, a secondary recruiter told me it would be a case study based interview. Both emails came through at 6pm and 9pm the day before. Interview itself I had a positive experience with, however it was going through case studies but one section that I was told we would go through and that I had prepared for was ignored.
Very difficult to go through an interview stage if you don't have a job description to prepare against!
During the interview and beforehand, I was told the recruitment team would be in touch, no contact me for 2 days then i got a template email saying 'as the recruitment team have discussed with you, we will not be proceeding with your application'. Sufficed to say, none of the recruitment team had been in touch with me.

Case study questions
I interviewed for a position that's slightly out of my expertise. They took the time to understand why and was engaging to explain what the role requires. There were 3 of them.
Softball questions. Technical questions were nothing difficult and so weren't memorable. Interviews were more of a soft skills check than anything else. The decision was already made once my resume was seen.
Well coordinated . Straight to the point. No time wasted. A positive experience overall. Interviewers were nice and respectful. A panel of 2 people who asked different questions. Was asked behavioural questions and some technical questions. Ensuring answers followed the STAR approach
