Interview was not hard, mainly focused on C language concepts.
Also, there was a small part On C++ concepts.
The second part was compromised of more "interview like" questions.
And the interviewer did not care in which language I'd choose to implement it.
J'ai passé un entretien chez PwC (Frankfurt am Main)
Entretien
Everyone was very welcoming and the process was quite straightforward. I could even choose my location at the end. The interviews happened online and were conducted in German. I appreciate the quick feedback.
Online Application & Behavioral Assessments: Shortly after submitting my CV, I received an invite to complete online behavioral "games" (cognitive and emotional intelligence tasks via SHL) which took around 55 minutes.
Digital Interview & Team Preference: Within 48 hours of passing the games, I recorded a short one-way video interview answering two motivational questions, followed by selecting my specific team preferences within PwC’s tech business units.
In-Person Assessment Centre (Barangaroo Office): This was a half-day event. The morning session was a collaborative group case study with 5 other candidates, mimicking a real-world client scenario where we had to evaluate system implementation choices.
Final Individual Interview: Held on the same day in a relaxed, "café-style" environment. I sat down with a Director and a Senior Engineer for a 45-minute conversation that focused heavily on communication skills, the PwC Professional framework, and how I approach technical trade-offs.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
"What specific aspects of PwC and the Technology team align with your skills, and how do you plan to advance your career over the next five years?"
How I answered:
I explained that I chose PwC over a traditional pure-tech firm because I wanted to see the direct commercial impact of the software I build on diverse industries. I highlighted my final-year software project where I had to present technical system architecture to non-technical business students. I told them my five-year goal is to bridge the gap between heavy technical engineering and strategic client solutions, eventually working toward a Technical Architect or Lead consultant path within the firm.
