Very client dependent, not a PwC special thing of having to or not having to

Totally client dependent. Usually indicative of a high-maintenance client, haha. I've been through a bunch of them. Usually they are a complete waste of time, though once I got grilled pretty good by the CIO about the technical specifics of a project.

I haven't had to, but I know people who have.

OP - usually this is dependent on the terms of the contract and your level. Clients typically want to interview ACN resources Manager and above

I have.

Some banks do this. I've been interviewed once.

Yea sometimes!

Depends on project.. for me, it's been 25% of the time

Only at some of the banks

On occasion...

Hi Guys,
I have been assigned to a Unbillable Project, they are building one app and have recruited people from the talent pool. The project is not registered in GLOW. And they are calling it as Voluntary Contribution type project for studio. Is this what they call Internal Project in

Will there be any impact if I don't perform as per their expectations?
