The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PwC in Jun 2011
Interview
Received phone interview after applying online.
After 1 day, was contacted about attending assessment centre.
Assessment centre in 4 parts -building tour, written test/group discussion, online skills test for verbal and numerical reasoning, and a partner+manager 2:1 interview.
Interview covered why PwC and not KPMG/other big 4, why auditing, what do I think the role involves, strengths, talk me through your resume, how to balance study+other activities, where do i see myself in 5 years.
lot of stages of interview. i need to take a test. then go through the first stage of interview. then 2nd interview is quite tough as they the questions are more very high thinking level which i am underprepared. but it was a great experience.
The process was well-structured and professional overall. It included behavioral questions, discussions about audit/accounting concepts, and questions focused on teamwork and problem-solving. Interviewers were friendly and made the conversation comfortable. The process was moderately challenging but fair, with clear communication throughout.
