We started with a phone call, which was pretty basic, just asking me to introduce myself and explain why I picked PwC and tax. Then there were two more rounds via Zoom. I'm not sure what the next step is since I didn't get an offer for the next round.

Behavioral Other

First there was a digital interview, then an optional social event. The actual interview was online or in-person. It was okay. The manager hadn't interviewed people in a while, so it was more of a chat than an interview, with him asking random questions.

Behavioral

The interview wasn't tough at all. The interviewer was really nice and we had a relaxed chat. They asked a bunch of behavioral questions over the phone. I had practiced generic questions beforehand, but a couple of them totally threw me off guard because I just couldn't think of what to say. Still, the interviewer was super friendly and it was no big deal.
