Interview Preparation Tips
First round: It was complete technical one and it lasted for 1 hour almost. Interviewer asked me to introduce myself at first. I introduced myself, told little bit about my background, my hometown, my college and b.tech curriculum etc. Then I moved to my technical specializations, I told about what I have done so far, what are the tools and technologies I have used, my daily responsibilities etc. Then he digged more into technical stuffs. I won't say its a hardcore interview rather technical discussion.
Advice :
Firstly, You should thoroughly go through JD. You need to go through each and every line and prepare yourself accordingly.
Secondly, You shouldn't lie. If you work in XYZ technology and not comfortable in ABC or PQRS technology. Just state that I am only comfortable in XYZ. They will start digging up based on your CV and initial introduction and in next 1 hour they will come to an conclusion if your cv is suitable for that particular profile.
Second and Third round : These 2 rounds were majorly a stress test. It was a mixed of technical + behavioural round. Questions were like - what you will do in some abc situation? How will you react in xyz situation? Why I should consider you as a good team player? Why you want to leave a corporate giant company and want to join pwc? How will you handle customer escalations? How motivated you are? What are your long term vision etc.
Advice : You should answer these questions very carefully. Based on your answer they can again ask you some counter questions. You should show positive attitude during interview. You should stay calm and answer in a polite positive way.

- Q1. Imagine you are consulting a large client located in (a) USA (b) India. The client wants to know if and how should some parts of the business be outsourced. What are the three primary factors you would con...
- Ans.
Factors and risks to consider when outsourcing for a large client in USA/India and how to execute the plan.
Primary factors: cost savings, expertise, and scalability
Risks: loss of control, quality issues, and cultural differences
Execution plan: identify the scope of work, select a vendor, negotiate terms, and establish communication and monitoring protocols
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: I asked her the industry in which the client operated and the rationale behind the outsourcing consideration – Cost and efficiency. (a) USA – Perform a cost-benefit analysis of outsourcing and offshoring separately. Three factors – Culture difference (I told her the differences in outlook towards outsourcing among US, Europe and say, Australian firms.), potential employee backlash and so on.
Business risk (security and quality) – I cited the recent BPO fraudulent transactions, Dell’s experience with call centers etc. Identification of “non core” activities to outsource. (I am not sure what exactly the differences between an Indian and a US client that I cited were!) Execution Vendor selection (I would look at quality approvals (CMM levels etc), track record (within the client’s industry to be more specific) and references from other firms. Outsource components that are least risky – for instance, stable IT systems for pure maintenance and thru stages to BPO and possibly KPO. Multi-sourcing options (though I confessed I didn’t know much about the way in which deals are structured in multi-sourcing arrangements) Finally, based on the above analyses, options including body-shopping, selling off the “outsourced” division etc. need to be considered.
Tips: Be thorough with all aspects of your CV
Skills: Case Solving Ability, Case Analysis
