I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Saint Joseph, MN) in Sep 2015
Interview
I heard about the position from my college's Career Services office. I then applied online via their website. It was all relatively easy. I heard back within two weeks and scheduled an on campus interview. The interview was simply a conversation about myself and my interviewer. We discussed the 5k that I was doing that weekend and my job as an RA. This was a very informal interview. I did not make it to the next round of interviews which were formal. It felt like an easy interview. I know I did well in the conversation but my resume (i.e. my GPA) is not the most amazing and I believe that is what held me back from getting a second interview. With it only being a conversation, I didn't have the opportunity to explain why I am qualified despite my less than stellar GPA. This is simply a tough one to gage your performance on.

Question 1
N/A -- It was simply a conversation with one of their partners.
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.
