Extremely Rigorous, should prepare or know people before hand assuming you pass all the academic or test requirements. I’m not sure if this is true for all cases but I think they enjoy people with more mathematical expertise. Basically it’s a consulting interviewing process where everyone is dying to get the few coveted position so you better kill it
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is it in their culture their differentiates then from the big four or other top consulting companies?
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at PwC (Kuala Lumpur) in Jun 2018
Interview
The first step was the online application. I was then contacted by the HR via email on my availability for a phone interview.
One week after the first phone interview, I was called by the hiring manager again for a write-up on my research as well as a case study taking into account a business scenario and applying my research findings in solving the problem.
Then, I was called for a face-to-face interview four weeks after the phone interview. First, the hiring manager (Senior Manager) interviewed for almost an hour with technical questions. Then, the Director of the department interviewed for about 40 minutes with some technical questions, experiences and background.
It has been three weeks since the interview and I am yet to know the outcome.
