PwC Experienced Audit Associate interview questions

I was referred by a friend who had me send my resume to the hiring manager and subsequently it was sent to a recruiter. The recruiter contacted me within two days after I first sent my resume in and we scheduled a phone interview within the first week. The recruiter and I had a thirty minutes phone interview and then I was contacted to have an in office interview within the next two weeks. During the in office interview I met with two partners and one manager for thirty minutes each. The first partner asked strictly technical questions and was assessing how my previous experience will match with PwC. The second partner asked more about my university experience and resume background, but also some very technical questions. The manager conducted the global acumen portion of the interview. This was specifically about my knowledge of current global trends and also about my experience working with teams that spanned geographic areas. The in office interview was difficult for me because my previous experience did not match what they were looking for and they seemed very skeptical from the beginning and I got the impression I had to prove to them why I deserved the job, not necessarily that it was my job to lose. Please prepare yourself by understanding very well how your current skills will match up to the open position. It will be very challenging if you do not have experience in the industries that the office serves. Also be prepared for technical questions about auditing A/R, A/P, complicated audit areas you have faced, and global audit experience and examples how the global economy is affecting your clients.

Submitted my resume online and within a few weeks got a call back from a recruiter. We set up a phone interview which lasted about an hour and focused on my career education and skills. After the phone interview, I got set up for an in-person interview, which was an interview with 3 separate people: first a manager, then a senior manager, and then a partner. Each of the in-person interviews seemed more behavioral based, but each focused on a different set of personality traits. Was made a verbal job offer a few days later. The entire process took less than a month.
