I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Lexington-Fayette, KY)
Interview
Very informal and conversational. The interviewer did not try to press me on abstract accounting knowledge, but asked pointed questions about what kind of professional I am and attempted to gauge soft skills for the most part. There is a lot of application work to go through, and you definitely want to be very prepared for the interview, but don't expect to be grilled.

Question 1
What makes you the right candidate for the position?
lot of stages of interview. i need to take a test. then go through the first stage of interview. then 2nd interview is quite tough as they the questions are more very high thinking level which i am underprepared. but it was a great experience.
The process was well-structured and professional overall. It included behavioral questions, discussions about audit/accounting concepts, and questions focused on teamwork and problem-solving. Interviewers were friendly and made the conversation comfortable. The process was moderately challenging but fair, with clear communication throughout.
