Employee Reviews

Getting Hired Here
“Candidates are assigned to a recruiter based on career aspirations and will have the opportunity to meet and have ongoing interactions with multiple client-serving throughout the process. In general, it seems like a straight-forward process, that is not drawn out.”
“During my recruitment process the firm was exceptionally transparent and quick to move forward. They provided clear guidance around next steps and pushed to have the full process completed in as short of a timeline as manageable. I believe this process seeks to find committed applicants who are not "shopping around" for jobs but are genuinely looking to attain employment with the firm.”
“I think PwC really focuses on the type of person they are hiring, in addition to the skills the firm will gain from a particular individual. My interviews, including my case, were highly conversational and comfortable. I was able to bounce my ideas off of my interviewers and it led to a really productive conversation. I left feeling like my interviewers really knew who I was and what I could bring to the firm, which was unexpected. I anticipated a really intimidating interview process, but I have nothing but good things to say about my experience.”
“Our firm has several interviews in the process. The first couple of interviews are problem solver, followed by an in-person interview, which consists of one-on-one interviews, case studies, and panel interviews.”
“We are proactive in reaching out. The process is very transparent. The ideal candidate can mix technical and business, presents well but is relatable. Hungry but humble.”
