Upon submitting application online, HR contacted via phone to arrange and confirm interview schedule with hiring manager.
The interview was mostly fit questions (around their core values), behavioural and a case study at the end.
After which there's a second round of interview at partner level, similar questions asked, mostly behavioural, testing your technical expertise and fit.
Both rounds were nice, the interviewers were friendly and engaged, each was around 40-50mins.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at PwC
Interview
I completed and passed my aptitude tests, upon which I was called in for an interview with the senior manager. Having had a positive interview, I later had a telephone interview with the partner (in another location where the position was mostly based). I was then called for a third interview with the local partner where I was informed I would be shortly receiving an offer letter. 6 months later, I receive a call informing me that they were not able to match my salary and therefore decided to not extend an offer.
