I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at PwC (New York, NY) in May 2016
Interview
Recruiter phone screen, phone interviews with hiring manager(s), in person interviews, additional phone interviews with key stakeholders.
Though I thought positively of PWC prior to and in the beginning stages of my interview process, that positivity has now evaporated. I have had the WORST recruiting experienced I have ever experienced in my entire professional career (12 years) with them.
The recruiter assigned to me during the interview process was non responsive during almost the entire interview period. She seemed to never be in the office nor respond to voicemails. Coordinators arranging interviews worked remotely, hundreds of miles from the office/interview location and were never around for questions or issues during interview times. Oftentimes they did not even respond to general email follow-ups when interviewers failed to show up or call at the scheduled times.
I wish I could tell you what my status is, but its anyone's guess. After 8 weeks of behavior like this, even the best candidate gets worn out and starts to questions if this is a place they would want to give their best based on their treatment of the candidate during the recruiting/interview process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly behavioral and questions related to my experience and future plans.
I interviewed for a position that's slightly out of my expertise. They took the time to understand why and was engaging to explain what the role requires. There were 3 of them.
Softball questions. Technical questions were nothing difficult and so weren't memorable. Interviews were more of a soft skills check than anything else. The decision was already made once my resume was seen.
Well coordinated . Straight to the point. No time wasted. A positive experience overall. Interviewers were nice and respectful. A panel of 2 people who asked different questions. Was asked behavioural questions and some technical questions. Ensuring answers followed the STAR approach
