I am so excited to have an interview at PWC! For background I am new-ish to consulting but have over 5 years of Human Capital experience. This has been something that I have wanted for a long time ☺️

Current and/or Former Employees:
Anything I should know? What should I focus on going into the interviews? Any tips?

Thank you!

Congrats, focus on your story. Keep in mind some answers to questions like “Why PwC, Explain your background, Name a time you led a difficult situation, How did you handle a disagreement with your manager”, be able to speak to each point on your resume as well.

Thank you so much! Any key items of culture or behavior that they look for? Any key attributes they really hone in on?

Ehh we hear the term “Caring” a lot and focus on “OneFirm”. But nothing that I think will give you an advantage.

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully).

Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?
