I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PwC (Bengaluru) in Jul 2015
Interview
This happened in EGL campus, Bangalore. Interview started bit late. I arrived at the venue on time, but it started after 30 mins.
The HR didnt show up. Then 2 guys came and they asked for my resume and then we went to the interview room.
One of the guy was talking so rude, that at the start of the interview itself I felt they are not gonna select me. The way both were putting questions before me, I was totally surprised. I felt they had gone through bad appraisal or something.
One of the guy said, 'Is it okay with you if they dont give you Tech Lead position ? They will definitely give you Senior Software Engineer position'. Then he further said, 'Why are you joining here, isn't it far from your house ?'. And finally he asked me the ultimate question - he said, 'Which state are you from ?'
Even when I was giving correct answers, they were not listening to my answer and pretending as if I gave a wrong answer.
Earlier I thought it to be a kind of stress interview, but from my experience and those ppl's behavior, I can say that those ppl were pissed off either by their company or something.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at PwC (Cairo, Cairo Governorate) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview lasted for around 10 minutes. During the discussion, the interviewer was occasionally speaking with another person in the room, which led me to repeat some of my answers. The conversation remained brief, and we didn't delve into much detail about my experience or technical background. The meeting was concluded shortly after.
The interview had 2 rounds. I was told it would be F2F and get completed on the same day. But it seemed more like a walk-in drive with around 200 + candidates waiting for their turn.
After around 3 hrs, L1 round was completed, then got selected for L2, which felt like a never ending wait. But then HR asked for folks having experience more than 5 years to go to separate panel. I was only one so got interviewed quickly.
It was disappointing though that HR team already had the details and resume, so ideally should have segregated the candidates quite early in the stage instead of wasting the whole day. After L2, HR team said they would reach back, but they did not reach in time. After 4 days , the consultant team called and told that I was selected.. But surprisingly in HR discussion, the team says they do not have budget to match my expected salary. I was disappointed as they already had each and every detail upfront. SO they should not waste a candidate's time.
