PwC Video Interview: Questions & How to Pass
Consulting · Updated 2026 · Interview Buddy team
PwC uses one-way video interviews as an early stage for graduate, vacationer and audit/consulting roles, usually before an assessment centre. You record answers to set questions on your motivation for PwC and professional services, plus behavioural competencies.
It filters a large applicant pool, so genuine motivation and structured examples are what advance you. This guide covers what PwC tends to ask on video and how to record answers that stand out.
What a PwC video interview looks like
•
You get a link and record answers to typically 3–5 questions, with a short prep window and a per-answer time limit.
•
Questions focus on motivation ('why PwC, why this line of service'), behavioural examples and sometimes commercial awareness.
•
Answers are assessed for motivation, communication and alignment with PwC's values (act with integrity, care, work together, reimagine the possible).

Dress in business attire and record in a quiet, tidy, well-lit space.
