I went through a ton of rounds, but largely all behavioral. Every time I thought the process was over, they asked me to meet with a “few more folks”. I talked to MDs, Associates, VPs - everyone, and in no particular order. Overall it was probably a dozen rounds. It went on forever, but like I said it was largely behavioral and mostly breezed through!

What technology does PwC use that is superior? What resources are superior?

Trying to reply to your comment on my response, but the reply button isn’t populating. Yes, I did accept. Mixed opinion honestly. HL touts a better culture and deal exposure experience, but I’ve found it’s all pretty standard for IB. Lots of toxicity, depending on the deal team, and pretty standard IB work (sorting logos around slides, simple modeling, etc.) Client exposure is nice and deal teams are lean, so you get to own more than you might elsewhere where teams are generously staffed, but that also means hours can be long given it’s typically just 2 junior bankers + senior on a deal. Overall, the work is pretty monotonous.

Outlook for the firm overall is positive. They are growing headcount in certain lines of business, which will afford better resources and theoretically claw some market share. Would say that’s a plus.
