I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PwC (Nottingham, Inglaterra) in Jun 2012
Interview
I first applied online and had to do some tests in verbal reasoning, numeracy and logical reasoning. Then there was a group assessment where we had to do some scenarios in a group with other applicants which was observed by PwC staff, and a face to face interview with a manager and one with a partner. They were always really friendly and approachable throughout the whole process. In our office there is a secret - if the partner gives you the office tour after the interview that means you've got the job!

Question 1
They asked about a time when I have had to demonstrate my integrity and ethics.
I applied online. I interviewed at PwC (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
Immediately after submitting your application you will be invited to the first stage, an online assessment involving maths and logic problems, similar to other companies.
About a month later I was notified of the second stage, an online virtual assessment centre. The VAC lasted about 4 hrs and has three parts: a group interview where we discuss a fictional consulting problem, an individual task writing a report based on given information, and a one-to-one interview that mainly focuses on your experience in the group session, along with some motivational/behavioural questions.
The third stage is a one-to-one in-person partner interview. Before your interview they’ll invite you to a coaching call where they tell you some things that may come up and how to prepare. They’ll also give you some idea about how you did in the VAC and what you can improve. At the actual interview, the style really depends on your interviewer and it felt more like a coffee chat. Although my advice is to study some PwC values and your own motivation beforehand. The interview was nice and I was notified about my result in only about 3 weeks.
lot of stages of interview. i need to take a test. then go through the first stage of interview. then 2nd interview is quite tough as they the questions are more very high thinking level which i am underprepared. but it was a great experience.
The process was well-structured and professional overall. It included behavioral questions, discussions about audit/accounting concepts, and questions focused on teamwork and problem-solving. Interviewers were friendly and made the conversation comfortable. The process was moderately challenging but fair, with clear communication throughout.
