I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (San Jose, CA) in Jul 2015
Interview
I applied online. HR contacted me shortly after. Had a quick phone interview. In office interview was with HR and then a manager and finally a partner. All 3 in the same day. The manager told me a lot about the culture and the role. The partner seemed like I was bothering him and he was too busy to speak to me. As soon as he came in, he said, let's make this quick. He stared at the ceiling while I spoke. At the end of the 10 minutes, he said, any questions. Within 1 second he was like, NO? OK, we are done then thanks.
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.
