I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PwC (Accra) in Aug 2022
Interview
My interview was with PwC Ghana. It was an in-person interview. So I took online verbal and numerical reasoning assessments before getting the interview. The first interview involved two members of the tax division and some managers. The questions that were asked were to get to know me better. I was asked questions about my CV and my academic background also. Most of the questions were competency and situational based. They also assessed my commercial awareness (the Russia - Ukraine war was trending at the time so I was asked to talk about that). This interview took about 3 hours. The second was the partners interview (it was an hour-long interview). The partners also tried to get to know me a bit, so once again, I got questions about my CV, questions about skills I thought were important for the role, some basic technical questions pertaining to the role, questions pertaining to recent trending news and a situational judgement question. (At the time of writing this, I was still in school and hence I didn't receive an offer. I was only informed of my success in the interview process. I would receive an offer after my graduation)

(one partner+one manager : three candidates)
Overall quite nice atmosphere
Partner in is like coffee chat
lots of casual chat
Domande molto tecniche anche sulla contabilità, ma probabilmente non era proprio una posizione adatta a me che non ho studiato economia. Il partner era molto pungente, il senior manager invece era una persona gentile e tranquilla.
El proceso fue muy bueno y amable desde el primer contacto, siempre fueron claros y resolvieron mis dudas. Asignaron mis pruebas, entrevistas y documentación a entregar conforme a las fechas acordadas.
