      Audit Associate Interview

      Dec 19, 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC in Dec 2010

      Interview

      First round interview was on campus with a manager for 45 minutes. We went over my resume and he said I covered most of my strengths during this time, so we ended up skipping most of the behavioral questions. It also turned out I had some common interests with my interviewer so we spent about 20 minutes just talking about non-work related stuff. The second round interview took place over 2 days so they got each of us hotel rooms. The first night was a pre-interview dinner, business casual, with 2 other interviewees and 3 PwC associates. Overall, a very fun experience considering how nervous I was. The next day was the office visit. They started off with presentations, then we each got assigned buddies to take us to our 3 different interviews for the day. The whole process felt really rushed. I interviewed with 2 managers and a partner. One manager really grilled me about why I wanted to work in audit and I emerged from that interview with my confidence a bit shaken. The interview with the partner was by far the easiest and most laid back (the only one that did not ask me any behavioral q's), but it is also the one you want to do best in because I think they make the final call about whether or not to hire you. Anyways, the partner called me with a job offer the following morning. Here are some things that may have helped me: *Prepared myself by going over my resume. The majority of the interview time was spent going over my resume. For each different job listed on your resume, have 1-2 big things you took away from it such as working in teams or dealing with difficult clients. Be able to elaborate!! *I'm not a naturally outgoing person nor consider myself particularly good at interviews, but I mustered up every ounce of energy I had into being extremely personable to EVERYONE. I feel like 50% of the interview is them trying to see if you are someone who they'd enjoy working with and would be good with clients. Be able to carry on pleasant conversations with people. Be friendly but professional. *I was really firm in telling them that I wanted to work at this specific Big 4 company in this specific location and told them my reasons. They like to hear that your career goals and interests are in line with the job you're going for. So tell them why they'd be good for you, and then finish off by telling them why you'd be good for them.

      Audit Associate Interview

      Jul 5, 2026
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at PwC (London, England)

      Interview

      Immediately after submitting your application you will be invited to the first stage, an online assessment involving maths and logic problems, similar to other companies. About a month later I was notified of the second stage, an online virtual assessment centre. The VAC lasted about 4 hrs and has three parts: a group interview where we discuss a fictional consulting problem, an individual task writing a report based on given information, and a one-to-one interview that mainly focuses on your experience in the group session, along with some motivational/behavioural questions. The third stage is a one-to-one in-person partner interview. Before your interview they’ll invite you to a coaching call where they tell you some things that may come up and how to prepare. They’ll also give you some idea about how you did in the VAC and what you can improve. At the actual interview, the style really depends on your interviewer and it felt more like a coffee chat. Although my advice is to study some PwC values and your own motivation beforehand. The interview was nice and I was notified about my result in only about 3 weeks.

      Interview

      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.
