I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Colombo, ) in May 2016
Interview
At first there is an aptitude test which comprises English, mathematics, accounting and a bit of IQ . Once the candidate got through the aptitude test he is invited for a face to face interview by the HR. There after the interview reports are submitted to the one of the senior managers and he/ she picks the candidate for a face to face interview. Senior manager tests the technical competency of the candidate and submits his/ her report to the partner. Final decision is with the partner whether to select the candidate or not.
lot of stages of interview. i need to take a test. then go through the first stage of interview. then 2nd interview is quite tough as they the questions are more very high thinking level which i am underprepared. but it was a great experience.
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.
