The Method

First Round:

Two on-campus interviews that deal with behavioral and situational questions. Candidates are expected to offer examples of their leadership experience.

Second Round:

Half-day interview at the office, about a week later. Applicants are ushered through two more technical interviews by a PwC host a level above or at the same level as the hiring position; they'll meet with three to six staff members throughout the day.

Third Round:

Applicants have 45 minutes to solve a problem set similar to Harvard Business School case studies. The time crunch mirrors a real-time scenario. The hiring manager plays the role of the client and assesses applicants on their ability to take feedback with poise.

The Score:

The advisory hiring committee that conducted the interviews rates each applicant on how well his or her skills align with the companies five core qualities, which include technical and global acumen. Success in the case study is weighted highest.
