PWC Partner Interview Preparation:

After choosing a convenient date from the options offered to you by the company, you will generally have from one to two weeks to prepare. As we all know, job tests can be daunting and how can you be fully confident of putting in a perfect performance if you lack Big Four experience? If you can demonstrate the required ambition and endeavour, we will give you the support you need to land your dream job.

PWC Partner Interview Competency Criteria:

PWC have designed the partner interview stage to assess you against their key competencies criteria. The test will be timed, so you must be able to deal with pressure. Green Turn’s training schemes will ensure that you are totally confident and prepared for any eventuality. Think of the embarrassment and panic caused by ‘freezing up’ during the PWC Partner interview and you’ll realise just how important this is.

PWC do list key competencies criteria on their website, but they don’t provide many details on the initial and follow-up questions you can expect to face. However, you can draw on the experience of our experts, who have previously worked for Big Four firms, to give you a major advantage in this area.

PWC Partner Interview Details:

The interview will be face-to-face with a PWC partner at the company premises. There is no set time restriction and an interview can last from 40 minutes to two hours. An average interview will last for 45 minutes, during which time you will be asked around 15 initial questions and three follow-up questions for each, leading to a total of roughly 45 questions (15x3). Below are two examples of the types of questions you will be facing:

Example 1:

PWC COMPETENCY:   BUSINESS ACUMEN

Tell me about the economic downturn and how is that impacting our clients and PWC’s business?

PWC FOLLOW ON QUESTIONS:

WHAT CAUSED THE ECONOMIC CRISES INITIALLY?
WHAT ARE THE ADVANCEMENTS IN THE ECONOMY AND GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES TO DEAL WITH THE CRISES?
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN ON A PARTICULAR CLIENT AND THE WAY FORWARD FOR THEM?
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF ECONOMIC CRISES ON PWC DEPARTMENTS AND YOUR SUGGESTED WAY FORWARD FOR PWC?
WHAT ARE THE STRATEGIES OF OTHER BIG FOUR FIRMS IN ECONOMIC CRISES?
 

Example 2: 

PWC IMPLIED COMPETENCY:   CAREER MOTIVATION  

Why have you chosen to apply to the audit assurance department particularly?

PWC FOLLOW ON QUESTIONS: 

WHAT INTERESTS YOU ABOUT AN ASSURANCE CAREER?
WHAT RESEARCH HAVE YOU CARRIED OUT TO JOIN THE ASSURANCE DEPARTMENT?
DO YOU HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORK YOU WILL BE CARRYING OUT IN ASSURANCE?
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR CLIENTS?  

PWC Partner Interview Results:

Your performance during the partner interview will be kept on a permanent record and used during PWC’s final deliberations to determine whether or not you have got the job. This is the ultimate part of the application process and therefore represents your last chance to impress.

PWC grade your ability on each stage between 1 point and 5. It is assumed by PWC that if an applicant can demonstrate ‘core capabilities’ and attain the full 5 marks during the partner interview process then they automatically become a perfect match for the firm.

This means you need to score the maximum 5 points on every single stage to set yourself apart from rival job seekers and cannot afford to take a job test without having been properly prepared by Green Turn.
