I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at PwC (Düsseldorf) in Jun 2023
Interview
Long time-consuming process with 5-7hours of interviews and business case preparation. It seemed like an expert interview with interest to get information I shared from the first interview that my German skills are area of development and if PwC position owner wants me to prepare the case, the language level that I have should be accepted from the beginning. Nevertheless, it was one of 2 reasons not to accept me after 4 interviews of 60-90 min and business case preparation, plus he decided to test my German skills on the last round that was strange when I said from the beginning I will work on if they recruit me from the beginning. I think if it is a blocker, you shouldn’t ask to prepare the case and invest any more time than 1 interview and of course 5 interview-hours! If you want to get more understanding of market, please find another opportunity than a recruitment process

Question 1
Prepare business case to launch new media audit services
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at PwC (Düsseldorf)
Interview
Long time-consuming process (around 6-7 hours of interviews all together) with business case preparation. It seemed like it was expert interviews with interest to get information. Very inappropriate process of many rounds with potentially intended behaviour on the last stage to share feedback that could be shared after the 1ar interview. In the first interview I mentioned that my German skills are area of development and if PwC position owner wants me to prepare the case, the language level that I have should be accepted from the beginning. Nevertheless, it was one of 2 reasons of not being accepted after 4 interviews of 60-90 min and business case preparation. That is waste of my time. The decision maker decided to test my German skills on the last round that was strange when I said from the beginning I would need to work on my German skills if they recruit me and made all interviews in English till end stage. I think if it is a blocker, you shouldn’t ask to prepare the case and invest any more time than 1 interview and of course 5 interviews. If you want to get more understanding of market, please find another opportunity than a recruitment process.

Prepare business case to launch new media audit service
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Sydney)
Interview
I have friends that work for PwC and speak incredibly highly of the organisation, the team, and the work. In my application, I only went as far as Phone Screen. The key question was whether I would relocate to another state for the role (there were two roles advertised in two different states with hybrid/work anywhere options). Whilst I appreciate that roles are state specific, the Phone Screen was very focussed on only one state. I found this fascinating due to the work anywhere principle of PwC. I opted to not continue with the selection process.
