PwC Audit Associate interview questions

First received a call from HR who did an interview for 30 minutes- mainly behavioral type- so get all the types of leadership and team setting questions off the internet and practice practice practice and come up with great stories for every single bad situation out there and how positively you handled them (and how you learned and matured from those situations). They try to look for well rounded people- so try to remember times you volunteered or were a leader somehow! Grades aren't everything to them at this point! They want to see if you're personable and trainable and whether you can work with people or would rather be left alone in the corner. After the phone interview, I was invited for an office visit. The visit consisted of a dinner the night before the and then the office visit the following day. It's important to be at the dinner as you will meet other candidates (like around 50) and associates (around 20) from PwC-which will make you ALOT more comfortable! I'm guessing if you're at the office visit, you'll get hired unless you really screw it up. The interviews next day will consist of a manager and a partner or 2 partners for some people. They will be casual conversations. The partner one is more intense as he goes through your resume- so make sure you know EVERYTHING on your resume and have 1 or 2 sentences prepared for every description you have written for every job! You also need to go in with some good questions prepared and ask the interviewer questions about their backgrounds and how they got to where they are at- they absolutely LOVE talking about their achievements! Make sure to take their business cards and leave them a nice, short, personalized thank you note in their email inbox and make sure to write one thing you remembered that they said in the interview and thank them for their time! Do not mention your qualifications or write more than 5 sentences- you'll seem desperate! Then, as for the offer, you should hear the same day or the following day!

Applied through NTU's Big Four recruitment website. Have to filled in application form on PwC's website. Was shortlisted and went for interview with a partner. Interacted with the seniors there while waiting and they are generally nice. The interviewer also made me comfortable talking to him. He called me the next day to make the offer. Advice would be to stay positive during the interview and try to link your competencies back to PwC.
