I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Peking, Peking) in Jul 2011
Interview
I submitted application to Audit and Tax, and with no response from Audit, I received a call from Tax and meet with the Senior Manager (A group leader), and the interview was about 1 hour, quite relaxed and chatted about my education and previous experience, the reason to choose PwC and Tax. Then I had questions about tax service and career development in the future and he answered with his personal case. It was a memorable conversation and interview experience. Followed by the partner interview 1 week later, the senior manager called me in the middle saying the partner is on business trip and ask me to wait. The partner interview was delightful and she mostly talked about everything they do in Tax line of service and at the end of the interview I was offered the job smoothly. Love the feeling!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I changed my career direction to Tax, so my obstacle is lack of previous experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at PwC (Washington, DC) in Feb 2012
Interview
Started with a phone interview with an HR rep who was really nice. We chatted for about 45 minutes and he told me I was his number one candidate and set up an in person for the following week. I met with two a manager and the person I would be replacing for lunch. They took me to a nice restaurant near by and we talked and chatted about the position. Mostly them informing me on what the position consisted of. I then had 4, 30 minute interviews with various managers and a partner. They were all really nice and didn't ask me anything too difficult. I felt it went extremely well. A few days later they told me that it was down to me and one other person and they wanted to have one more phone interview to make a decision. They wanted to know my background a little more and see how it applied to the position and asked me a difficult question I stumbled over a little. I didn't get the job but they liked me and said they will keep in mind. I am currently in the process of interviewing for a different position with them.
