I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Hyderabad) in Oct 2013
Interview
It was very informal I had a phone call with the partner and was given an assignment to complete in a stipulated time. Post that I had a call with a peoples manager and we discussed a few topics related to the specialization of the team.
Post this I interacted with the HR manager to figure out the formalities and documentation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic know how and some topics on the department hired for.
It was good - recruiters were friendly and questions are reasonable. Overall, a pleasant experience. Some questions e.g. Why this role/ why this company/ tell me about yourself. Recruiters offered to answer any questions at the end as well
