Interview preparation advice
Be yourself
We want to learn more about your background and personal experiences to see how and where you might fit at PwC. Take some time to reflect and come prepared with some relevant examples to support your answers to competency based questions.
Understanding how you solve problems
If you apply for a role in Deals or Consulting you’ll be asked to analyze a case study and develop solutions to the client challenge it poses. The case will typically be based on a real PwC project, giving you insight into what it’s like to work here.
Often, there are no right or wrong answers; instead, we’re evaluating your analytical and strategic skills, and the ability to make a strong case for your recommendations.
Many websites offer practice case studies to help you familiarize yourself with the type of problem solving that will be expected from you.
Don’t forget to interview us!
This is your chance to ask questions about life at PwC, including your interviewer’s personal experiences. Our interviewers will evaluate your ability to listen and communicate effectively, and whether you present yourself positively and persuasively. We value intellectual curiosity and creative thinking, so make sure you do your due diligence and see what pops up when you search ‘PwC ME’ online.
