I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Washington, DC) in Oct 2013
Interview
More concerned with general intelligence and fit than specific industry/technical experience. It was a generally easy process and experience. There again, I was a referral, which made it easier. No recommendations for improvement.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at PwC (McLean, VA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Pretty easy actually, mainly behaviorial questions. Not any trick questions or case studies you'd expect from other companies. It seemed to be more about gauging your experience and expectations.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give an example of how you'd prioritize various deadlines.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Florham Park, NJ)
Interview
I applied online via the PwC Careers page. A recruiter contacted me within a week for a phone interview, which lasted about 30 minutes.
I was very quickly (within several days) contacted by the recruiter to set up an in-person interview.
Two weeks later I was interviewed in the office individually by four different managers over two hours.
Each manager had a specific set of questions to ask and sat with me for thirty minutes.
1) The first asked me about myself very generally, why I was interested in working at PwC and a quick rundown of my past experiences,
2) The next asked very specific details about my past and experiences, pinning down exactly what I would be doing in my current role and trying to understand if I was capable in those areas,
3) The third talked about my career path and ability to bring innovation to the team, and
4) The last one asked a few questions on why I was leaving my current job. This person was the most senior manager and appeared to just be there to sign off on me overall.
I was offered the job within a week after that.
Overall it was a very pleasant experience.
