I applied through university. I interviewed at PwC in Sept 2023
Interview
It started with the basic introduction. The interviewers were quite friendly. There were total 3 rounds of interviews. This interview experience was one of the examples how unpredictable the questions from the other side can be. I didn't expect questions from my core subjects in it, though they were not difficult but some basic fundamental questions.

Question 1
Q. Please introduce yourself. Q. Image a situation where a client intends to seek solution to his problem but demands not to pay you the fees in return, how do you think you will be handling the situation? Q. Don't you think getting into this company will mean a waste of all your civil engineering knowledge of 4 years? Q. What are the types of pile foundations?
Pretty straightfoward. Lots of case studies and some were harder than others. Some of the partner interviews they seemed uninterested so the vibe was off a bit. Also over zoom.
Standard case interview - 3 rounds: one behavioral, one case, one with partner. The case is s standard consulting case. The behavioral and partner interviews are standard as well. The case interview can prepped for with standard management consulting case reviews.
I applied online. I interviewed at PwC (Amsterdam) in Dec 2025
Interview
Na mijn sollicitatie duurde het drieenhalve week voordat ik een reactie kreeg. Omdat dit net voor de feestdagen was, begrijp ik dat het wat langer duurde. Daarna verliep de hele procedure echter zeer vlot. De assessment vond ik op sommige onderdelen pittig, maar zeker haalbaar. De gesprekken waren prettig en ik merkte dat er echt goed naar me geluisterd werd en er werd goed doorgevraagd.
