I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PwC (Kuningan, Jakarta) in Feb 2012
Interview
They normally have 2 round interviews. For 1st round, you will have interview with people from Human Resource Department (Human Capital). If you pass, you will be invited to have 2nd round (final interview) with the users. They are managers, directors, or partners from division which you are applying to. Before sending the offering, they will require you to have a medical checkup. They already have a partnership with the hospital or clinic, so no need to pay anything. Then, you get your offering, if it succeeds! :)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Introduce yourself first. Then, they will ask about your latest academic background and organizational experience during your study. How you solve a problem is usually asked as well. Why you apply to PwC? What contribution can you make if you join with PwC? They really want to explore your skills and motivation. So, be yourself, be confident, and be friendly.
It was a good interview process where they test your accounting knowledge and ability to work in a team. They also ask you behavioural questions as well. Best to prepare as much as possible beforehand
Very straightforward, partners & senior managers were friendly and asked expected technical questions. Key thing to stand out is to really research the company and how the grad programme works - focus on exactly what you will do in assurance, what the role would look like and also some basic accounting understanding.
online application for graduate role had initial aptitude test. I passed and did the one way digital interview which was just answering 2 questions where you record your self. Passed and went to assessment center which was a group case study and interview.
