I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at PwC (Kuala Lumpur) in Oct 2018
Interview
I was invited for an assessment at their office. It started with numerical MCQs. Then 4 essay questions were given and candidates were required to finish all of them. It consists of email replying, letter writing and an essay about yourself. (One more I forgot) Marks and minimum wordings were allocated. Whole paper totalling 100 marks.
In 1 week time, I received a call inviting me for a one on one interview. The interview lasted about 30 minutes. Questions asked were based on the 5 frameworks withheld by PwC employees. Questions were mostly scenario questions.
The interviewer did ask me 1 technical question that is based on common sense. (It subjects to your interviewer as when I asked another candidate, she was not asked any technical questions. )

Question 1
How do you prepare for this interview?
Have you ever worked with someone of a different culture?
I applied online. I interviewed at PwC (London, England)
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.
