I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2017
Interview
There are 4 stages to the interview process:
1) Online application - resume and transcript
2) 3 online assessments - inductive reasoning, numeric and work behavioural questions
3) Video Interview - about 15 minutes long
4) Face-to-face Interview - booked for an hour just so you don't feel rushed but usually can be completed in 30 minutes depending on interviewer (mine took about 50 minutes)
You first get invited to take the assessments. In real-time, you will get told if you're on to the next round or not. If you more on, you complete the video interview; they review your video and choose whether you will move forward. If you move forward, you will get the face-to-face which is the final stage.
The total process took about 2 weeks. It took me 3 days to receive my offer from the date of the face-to-face interview.
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.
