Case Presentation
I had a screening interview with HR. The following week, I had a case study round with 2 directors. The case study was 1 hour and 25 minutes. I had to read through a case and answer three questions. I then had to present my answers to the directors at the end of the case.

I had an on-demand video interview where I was asked to record responses to questions like "Tell me about yourself," "Why should we hire you," "Why PwC," some situational questions, and a question about salary expectations. There were 6 questions in total, with 5 recorded video responses and the salary question typed. After that, I had 3 more interviews: one was more serious, and the other two were casual chats.
