I have been at PwC in Audit for last 3 years. I have an interview scheduled with Practice Leader of AAS at GT, could you please provide some insight on expectation and interview questions? Any tips/suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.

I’m in the group so I know who you’re talking with. Should be some technical questions and culture fit items.

Full transparency the department is and has been bleeding. Personally, I would not recommend joining. It’s a shrinking practice that has been in for constant layoffs. The only reason we are hiring is we had a string of voluntary resignations directly after a large layoff and it’s put our group in a bit of a tough spot from a resource perspective. There’s a complete lack of growth here there were numerous people that should’ve been promoted, and we weren’t purely due to a lack of business case because the group is not growing. The majority of people got 0 to 2% raises, if that gets you excited by all means come on.

I would keep looking, trying to look out for fellow accountants.
