I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at PwC in Nov 2020
Interview
About a 2 hour interview, with a partner then a manager. The manager was extremely interpersonal and seemed to just want to get to know me and why I wanted to work at PwC and why I chose public accounting. The manager was more straight forward asking about 10 different behavioral questions. None of them were too difficult. I got a call the next day from the partner saying I will have an offer coming my way.
