I just got an interview with PWC 30 days after applying. Could this mean that they already had first round of interviews and couldn't find the talent they were looking for and so extended interviews to other applicants? I just find it weird. This is the longest that a firm has taken to get back to me.

Sounds normal to be, they may take 4 weeks to screen resumes and then agree with the ones to move forward with. You may just be reading into it too much

PwC are awfully slow throughout their recruitment process so it sounds pretty normal

Thanks for your insight!

It took 2 months to get first round interview scheduled. But within 2 weeks, all rounds of interview were done, salary discussed and offer released.

Just to add an example to illustrate the above: I applied to Deloitte and PwC on the same day. I then proceeded to have 3 interviews with Deloitte and received an offer from them 2 days before the date of my first interview with PwC…

Oh wow they really took their time then

We’ve got record applications and hiring hence the delays - which team did you apply to? I could help if I know them

You got the interview so soon? :) I feel that the Big4 process (in general) is a complete waste of time at this point, unless you have someone in the company who really wants to bring you in and will push HR.

One month is soon? Lol I got an interview with EY after a week!

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

Hi fishes,
I had interviewed for Cognizant and I was asked to submit my documents for offer letter release. This happened on the same day as my interview(Friday 6th May). I submitted my documents and I am trying to contact the HR who scheduled my interview, but she is not picking up my call. My question is how soon can I expect the offer letter to be released? And is there a possibility that they can reject my profile at this stage?

Hi Fishes,

l interviewed for Deloitte (India not USI) in January, and accepted an offer letter with DOJ of 25th April, later HR asked me to join on 11th April for which I agreed. Now I haven't received the revised offer letter or any links other than BGV and Pre-Hire form from Deloitte and now the HR is not even picking my calls or responding to emails.

Any advice on what to do?
