Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 1 semana. Fui entrevistado pela PwC (Londres, Inglaterra) em jan. de 2015
Entrevista
I applied online by doing the standard rigmarole, and a few days later, on a cold and blustery winter's night, got an email from PwC saying that they wanted to interview me over the phone. Shortly thereafter the interview took place. It was a very disappointing and dehumanising interview because it was clear that the woman interviewing me was simply reading from a sheet, asking me very bland and nebulous questions about teamwork and how I would help bring about a PwC-led utopian world. She had that monotone reading voice that many have that made her sound like she had the personality of an untoasted crumpet. Now, given that I never bothered to find out precisely what assurance is (I'm still uncertain), it's safe to say I was doomed from the start, and thus it transpired. My rejection email predictably followed the next day, coupled with a delightfully condescending 'performance review', presumably aimed at helping me transform myself into a PwC ubermensch.

Pergunta 1
Tell me about a time when you were working as part of a team? Did any conflicts arise? How did you resolve those conflicts? What was the end result? If you were working with your team here at PwC, and you had to decommission a thorium fusion reactor for a client in under a week, where would you begin, bearing in mind the PwC five-pronged flowchart of world beneficence? (this is obviously exaggeration, but it serves to illustrate the banality of the questions).
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.
There will be 2 parts in the interview process. First is case study and second is user interview. Case study is about if you become an auditor, how will you audit the client. The user interview is basic questions like experience, where will you be in 5 years, etc.
