PwC Audit Associate I interview questions

PwC is not the best place for a career. Too many politics get in the way of one succeeding in this environment. Your best bet at succeeding here is if you become one of the lucky few to be selected for amazing opportunities. Review process is swayed by cliques.

The process is very straightforward and standardized throughout the firm.. I interviewed with an audit manager and partner in my group as well as a representative from HR. A few weeks later they got back to me with an answer. The most difficult part of the interview process came from the partner interview, it was very open ended. After two or three minutes of small talk, he asked me to tell him about myself. After that the only times he spoke were to say things like, "that's interesting," or, "Tell me more about that." It was a little unnerving but I was able to handle it ok once I realized he was looking for not just what I said but how I handled a somewhat unorthodox situation. Overall, the process is designed to keep you at ease, the firm does a lot of pre=screening of candidates so by the time you get to the in office interviews the pool of applicants is predominantly people they think they want to hire.
