PwC 2022 Intake

Original post by rysemo

So i had a group discussion with the pwc recruiter for my cfd, so from what i understand, the day is at your own pace and its almost like an actual day in the office. read through emails, complete certain tasks and attend meetings at times dedicated to you. i saw the task timings on the powerpoint, and it says 5 minutes for numerical and report writing, so does that mean you have 5 minutes to write it up orH you have a 5 minute window to submit it?

Hi there,
I recently completed my CFD. The 5 minutes window is for you to submit it. I submitted it way before to avoid any technical difficulties.

Thanks, i am thinking of writing up on word and copying it over as soon as possible and preparing for other things as the day goes on. i mostly worried by the group discussion, usually its tricky to have these virtually. i was thinking of putting myself forward as the organiser, making sure everyone gets a good amount of time to talk, make sure everyone contributes, etc. but what is the group discussion like?
From what i have been told, the cfds are with people applying to different areas of the business, including interns?

Hey,
At the group discussion we were specifically told no one should be assigned the leader or the notetaker. I am not gonna say much, but everyone will easily have something to say. If you see someone being quiet, try to be proactive and involve them. The CFD will include graduates and interns from all service lines.

Wishing you the best of luck, let us know how it goes!

Thank you! It was certainly much easier on a tablet than on the laptop (considering the kind of exercises) but I am not keeping hopes up at all. It was one hell of a ride, to put it mildly. Do you get to know your "score" immediately afterwards on any of the portals or is it a long wait to figure that out too?

i think it takes 24hrs or so, it is really random but i guess its to replicate your natural reactions to those situations. like the balloon is risk vs reward, the safe is persistence, the high/low game again risk but working for the benefit of the team. it all goes back to normal in the video interview.

It went well thanks, received an offer last Friday! The interview was pretty standard, mainly motivational questions. I can’t remember the contents of the numerical questions, but they were pretty standard. So if you practise some online tests then you should be fine with them, they were nothing major

Hi, congrats on your offer! Can you posg any links to the online tests that your talking about please.

Same, had mine on the 20th and now waiting. They just been in touch asking a code to prove my right to work, not sure if that’s a good sign or just business as usual.

Yeah I got a phone call. They told me the response time depends on the service line and location.
