After the application
For most entry level roles at PwC, job seekers are required to complete an assessment to be considered for the role. After you submit an application for an entry-level position, you should expect to receive the assessment via email within a few hours. For roles that require the assessment, your application is not considered complete until you submit both your application and complete the assessment. Please keep this timing in mind as you prepare to apply. We strongly encourage you to complete the assessment as soon as possible. Click here to view assessment FAQs.
Step 3: Prepare for your interview
Our recruiting process allows you to get a feel for our culture, our people and available opportunities. If you are selected for an interview, we’ll reach out to you to schedule live, virtual interviews with PwC professionals.
We leverage technology during the interview process to provide you with increased flexibility for interviews. Learn more about how to prepare for your virtual interview here.
For Audit, Tax, and Digital Assurance and Transparency (DAT) roles, you will complete two behavioral interviews back-to-back live, virtually.
For Advisory roles, you will be informed of your interview process at the time of your interview invitation. The majority of our Advisory positions require a case interview as part of the interview process. Learn more about PwC's case interview process here.
Interview questions
Prepare for your interview by reviewing the PwC Professional framework. During the interview experience you will have an opportunity to showcase your educational background, skills and experiences.
Please note, the use of GenAI during the assessment and interview process is not permitted. We strive for both integrity and equity during the PwC hiring process. As such, it is important that candidates provide information throughout our process that accurately reflects their own unique skills and qualifications.
