I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at PwC (London, England) in Jan 2014
Interview
IQ tests were pretty difficult and I had to prepare a lot for passing them. You have one shot, if you fail, you are out. Then, 3 interviews with external recruiter, Senior Manager, Director and Partner. Got the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- my experience as IT manager
- questions around my willingness to be a consultant (travelling)
- questions about challenges in my profession
I interviewed for a position that's slightly out of my expertise. They took the time to understand why and was engaging to explain what the role requires. There were 3 of them.
Softball questions. Technical questions were nothing difficult and so weren't memorable. Interviews were more of a soft skills check than anything else. The decision was already made once my resume was seen.
Well coordinated . Straight to the point. No time wasted. A positive experience overall. Interviewers were nice and respectful. A panel of 2 people who asked different questions. Was asked behavioural questions and some technical questions. Ensuring answers followed the STAR approach
