PwC Associate interview questions

So, after applying there was what felt like many rounds of online tests - the usual type of thing, numerical reasoning, inductive reasoning and work style preferences. There is a short feedback report offered for each of these. The next step is the phone interview - 40 minutes or so of questions, nothing too strenuous. Competency based, so teamwork, leadership skills, dealing with setbacks, that sort of thing. There was a feedback report provided at this stage too. The next stage was the assessment centre. A resit of the online tests, presumably to confirm it was you who sat them. a written exercise with a time limit and a group exercise. Again, feedback was offered after this stage too. The final stage is the partner interview. mine was with two individuals, and was mostly competency based again. Very relaxed interview, chatty style. Feedback was offered after this stage also.

The structure of the interview was a classic consulting first round interview. The first 40 minutes of the interview were about my personal experiences, professional experiences and carrer aspirations/goals. The last 20 minutes were case questions (2), more specifically "market sizing" questions. Interviewers also asked a few questions about initiatives I took in my community (volunteering...). The interview was formal, but the interviewers were very nice and it took the form of a discussion rather then back-to-back questions. Advice: - Don't be afraid to ask for clarifications in the case questions, especially if you are not familiar with the industry. - State your assumptions clearly during case questions and explain your calculations.
