I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at PwC (Londen, Engeland) in Aug 2009
Interview
Interview process took ages, around 4 months to see 3 different people and take tests. I aced the test but didn't get an offer or any feedback. It is difficult to know what they wanted. There was a late substitution in two of the interviews. One didn't know much about my area of expertise, that probably didn’t help plus I got the impression that he didn’t want to be there. I was interviewing for a senior manager / director role and they really didn’t seem to place much priority on recruitment.
Partner chat - commercial questions around my opinions, technical about specific considerations, what I think about the market and leadership questions: what do you want to do, whats important, how would you lead etc
The interview process was comprehensive and professional, focusing on technical expertise, leadership capabilities, client service skills, and alignment with the organization’s culture and values. Separate interview with HR and 2 x partners
4 stages - 1 with HR, the rest with senior partners; there is an internal committee that assess you profile, and also a internal sponsor you might have. 4 stages - 1 with HR, the rest with senior partners; there is an internal committee that assess you profile, and also a internal sponsor you might have.
