I applied through university. I interviewed at PwC in Sept 2023
Interview
My interview process was held online.
It was on-campus interview. There was technical round and HR round. Firstly, they asked me to introduce and as I have accounts background so they asked me basic questions of accounting that we studied during 11th and 12th. Questions were mainly from Journal Entries, Profit and Loss, Cash Flow Statement, Ratio Analysis. So please be thorough with the basic concepts of accounting, accounting standards and it's accounting principles.
Since the role I applied was a tax role so you can expect some questions related to indian taxation: Direct and Indirect Tax. Just make sure you heard the terms and know it.
Also, you can expect a situation based question like how you handled a conflict that happened while you were working on XYZ project.
Interview round was about 30 minutes.

You should know P/L statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow statement, COGS. This is a one time opportunity that I lost and could not crack my only dream company.
One individual zoom manager interview
+ one partner group interview
(one partner+one manager : three candidates)
Overall quite nice atmosphere
Partner in is like coffee chat
lots of casual chat
Domande molto tecniche anche sulla contabilità, ma probabilmente non era proprio una posizione adatta a me che non ho studiato economia. Il partner era molto pungente, il senior manager invece era una persona gentile e tranquilla.
El proceso fue muy bueno y amable desde el primer contacto, siempre fueron claros y resolvieron mis dudas. Asignaron mis pruebas, entrevistas y documentación a entregar conforme a las fechas acordadas.
