5 Interview Rounds

Interview Questions

  • Q1. (Eg Tell me what you know about PwC; What do you think went wrong during the floods in Chennai and what could have been done instead?)

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Duration: 1 hour

Round: Resume Shortlist
Tips: They had a priority order which was based on our test scores and I was second. Given that the job involved a lot of travel, they were more interested in seeing how well I would fit (Eg: How do you feel about travel?) in the role. Unless I hit rock bottom in the interview I felt they would have taken me

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The final round was focusing on how well I would fit into the company. I feel that they wanted to take me after the first round itself as the second round was more of a casual chat with the interviewer.
Tips: I googled the company and saw what they do and what they have been doing lately. It was announced that I was selected ten minutes before I had to give the interview so I couldn't do much. That little amount of prep actually helped
