I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at PwC (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2011
Interview
recruiting starts in the beginning of your junior year of college. You start by going to on campus recruiting events, networking, building relationships, and expressing interest. Then as things go on you get put on a contact list where they invite you to more events to better know you. Then midway through the quarter you get asked to do a first round on campus interview where they ask behavioral questions. If you pass you get invited for a second round in January (winter break is a quiet period). There you go in house and do 2-3 interviews with upper level employees. You get a buddy who guides you around the office, and after the interviews you do lunch with the associates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you tell me about a time where you were working in a group, and someone wasn't doing their fair share of the work?
DSA style questions for a data and AI role for the written potion of the interview and a case study with 10 minutes to prepare and 5 mins to go through your solution.
"Tell me about yourself," "Why should we hire you?" and "What are your strengths/weaknesses?"
Also they ask behavioural questions (e.g., handling conflict, teamwork) and situational questions about your work history...
very nice interviewer. asked personal questions, got to know me, didn't ask me about pwc which I liked. placed more of an emphasis on the person and who they are and what they like
