I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2016
Interview
I applied to PWC during their second batch of applications around March 2016. Interview was very informal, with two managers. it was mostly them telling me about PWC and their roles and the different departments. I was only asked 1/2 competency based questions. also had to do a case study which was very easy, just identifying the different services PWC offer. My interview was extremely easy and laid back due to the fact they had reopened applications and were increasing the number of graduates they take on, it was like they didn't want the interview to go badly, because they needed more graduates.
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.
