It was a 4 stage process. It included an online stage, then an HR call, followed by two panel interviews. The main goal of these was to verify that my CV experience matched my actual skills. The last three interviews were each about 45 minutes to an hour long.

I've only gone through the first stage so far, which was a WhatsApp call with the recruiter. She was very nice and her questions were clear. She spoke in Spanish and only asked about 3 questions in English. Then, she moved me on to the next stage, which is a Zoom meeting with other candidates.

After applying for the Associate position, I got an invite for a virtual interview with PwC Canada. They scheduled it through their online portal and sent me an email with the meeting link, interviewer's name, and a quick overview. On interview day, I logged into the Zoom call a bit before it started. The interviewer, a Manager from Assurance, was friendly and introduced herself. She mentioned the interview would cover my past experiences, my understanding of this role, and how I fit with PwC’s values and their Professional framework.

The interview process was straightforward, focusing on situational and behavioral questions. However, the communication was terrible. Although I was told it was a priority role, it took several months after applying for the first interview, then a few more weeks for the second, and then another three months before I was informed I wasn't selected. It was a terrible candidate experience overall.
