I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
I applied through on campus job fair and on campus website. Two days after the deadline, I got an email from their campus recruiter for the first round on-site interview. I was interviewed by a partner for the first round, he was very laid back and pretty much just went over my resume. There was no particular questions and more like casual conversation.Then 2 weeks later, I got invited for the second round interview, which was 2 back to back interview. I had with a partner and a manager. Partner was very laid back, and asked me that if there was anything I would like to talked about in my past working experience. Manager's question was focused on the 5 PWC professionals, which was on their website.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical question :Tell me a time you did a project that you applied your accounting knowledge? what you have learned from that project ? did you ever relate the knowledge you learned in this project to other project ?
How did you manage school, extracurricular activities and work?
Very straightforward, partners & senior managers were friendly and asked expected technical questions. Key thing to stand out is to really research the company and how the grad programme works - focus on exactly what you will do in assurance, what the role would look like and also some basic accounting understanding.
online application for graduate role had initial aptitude test. I passed and did the one way digital interview which was just answering 2 questions where you record your self. Passed and went to assessment center which was a group case study and interview.
There will be 2 parts in the interview process. First is case study and second is user interview. Case study is about if you become an auditor, how will you audit the client. The user interview is basic questions like experience, where will you be in 5 years, etc.
