PwC Manager interview questions

I had 2 interviews with 2 directors. Last one was focused to refer the practice that he wanted to create and improve in the financial industry. They got some ideas that I shared using my former experience as a client and vendor as well

Almost like clockwork, I heard from PwC every 10 days to schedule the next interview. Everyone was uber professional along the way. Three phone interviews (recruiter, Sr Manager, Director), two in person (same Sr Manager, Managing Partner). All were mainly conversational in nature, describing current and perceived role of the area being interviewed for. I was advised that - in the hiring process - they preferred more junior candidates at Manager or below. While I received nothing but positive feedback, was ultimately rejected by a recruiter with no explanation. I requested constructive feedback, received none. I left this experience thinking there a certain type of candidate they're looking for...and - despite credentials - was not it. A shame, as the person who referred me is a wonderful ambassador for the company.
