I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at PwC (Almaty) in Apr 2016
Interview
1) Applied via their website in Feb 2016
2) Passed NRT and LRT online. Those are IMB platform standard tests (used also by other BIG4). Feb 2016
3) Had an interview with HR. For 20-30 mins. Really general questions. Such as:

4) Then I had to wait for two months for the invitation for assessment center. I actually got invited 1 month after but because of the exams at the university (at that time I was finishing my bachelor degree) I could come to the assessment center.
There 5 people in the team and we were given each a team case (+individual cases which supported the main team case). We had to solve it under the supervision of the HR and a senior associate.
5) The same day each of us was interviewed by two managers. Then 4 of us gor job offers for Sep 2016
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What could potentially distort you from making an excellent career at PwC?
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.
