I applied online. The process took 10 months. I interviewed at PwC (Reading, Engeland) in Jan 2020
Interview
Long and protracted process with extensive gaps between each interview. Poor at following up after each stage of the interview process. Took several weeks to arrange the next stage interview. Received conflicting information about the business from the interviewers vs the recruitment team.
Applied online, 2 days later recruiter reached out to schedule interview. Interviewed with 7 people - Partner, Alliance Lead, MD. HR, ACRE. Interview was not difficult. The Partner had no interviewing skills. No emotional intelligence. He spent most of the time talking about himself.
