I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Bengaluru) in Jan 2017
Interview
Interview was at PwC SDC, Embassy Golf Links Business Park, permanent position, SSE role.
Interview process was good and it took 4 weeks to release the offer letter. PwC Talent Acquisition Specialist was good enough in her job.
HR Recruiter there was not at all responding to emails nor available to receive the office phone number. She didn't give her official mobile number and when asked she said she will be responding to the emails which she never did despite of receiving the offer letter. I tried to reach out HR in many ways but in vain.
I had so many questions to be clarified after receiving the offer letter but still I continued with Pre Joining formalities and waited for her response till my joining date as I wanted to join PwC despite of having other offers in hand.
Finally this irresponsible act by HR Recruiter made me to reject the PcW SDC offer.

Question 1
How do you tell someone they are doing something wrong.l
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at PwC (Cairo, Cairo Governorate) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview lasted for around 10 minutes. During the discussion, the interviewer was occasionally speaking with another person in the room, which led me to repeat some of my answers. The conversation remained brief, and we didn't delve into much detail about my experience or technical background. The meeting was concluded shortly after.
The interview had 2 rounds. I was told it would be F2F and get completed on the same day. But it seemed more like a walk-in drive with around 200 + candidates waiting for their turn.
After around 3 hrs, L1 round was completed, then got selected for L2, which felt like a never ending wait. But then HR asked for folks having experience more than 5 years to go to separate panel. I was only one so got interviewed quickly.
It was disappointing though that HR team already had the details and resume, so ideally should have segregated the candidates quite early in the stage instead of wasting the whole day. After L2, HR team said they would reach back, but they did not reach in time. After 4 days , the consultant team called and told that I was selected.. But surprisingly in HR discussion, the team says they do not have budget to match my expected salary. I was disappointed as they already had each and every detail upfront. SO they should not waste a candidate's time.
