I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Bengaluru) in Mar 2019
Interview
The first round with the Principal consultant. It involved self introduction, work experience in Data Science followed by questions on data preparation and ML. It went on for about 45 minutes. The second round was with the director. I was asked about RFM analysis and yield prediction in farming and a few questions in ML. The final round was with the partner. I was asked about my career objective and was told about the org structure. Each round was scheduled couple of weeks apart.
Interview questions [7]
Question 1
Introduce yourself and talk more about your data science projects.
1 month after final round and still no response from the company. No decision let alone any feedback. Probably I won't get any at all. Concerning I spent a few hours in this process, it's disappointing.
Other than that the experience was mostly positive. People were nice. Interview is 3 stage - online test, tech interview, hiring manager.
One thing I did not like is I was pushed to meet on the final round instantly. I was forced to make commitment about my decision even before final round. They really seemed to be in rush - I was asked even about details like what kind of computer I want to work on. Hence, it's even more disturbing they wanted me to make commitment instantly and they don't care to give even a few words of feedback for a month.

Question 1
Don't remember much tech questions. Overall, they were at most on medium difficulty.
Final round was also technical. Probably a bit more difficult. It was more concentrated on infrastructural aspects - deployment to cloud, quantization etc.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC in Nov 2023
Interview
The interview process consisted of several stages, beginning with a meeting with the recruiter. Following this, there was a take-home case study. Typically, candidates are given 7 days for this, but I was not informed about the timeframe initially, so I completed it intensively over a period of 3 days.

Question 1
The case study was extensive, incorporating elements of visualization and forecasting. Its ambiguous nature, lacking clear questions, resulted in a time-consuming process. Ultimately, I received no feedback, which I consider unfair. Investing significant time and effort without receiving any response or evaluation from the other party seems unjust.
Friendly chatting over a lunch - beer and schnitzel - with the team leader. Discussing experience and expectations, current projects, future projects, technologies, plan for the team in future, etc.
