Pwc Management Consulting?

I have an interview coming up for a Management Consulting internship with PwC. There's not much information in the company research about this specific position, so I was hoping you all could provide some insight.

What exactly would I be doing as a management consulting intern? And what types of questions should I expect in the interview?

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

It doesn't specify the location. I believe it is a rotational program but they weren't clear about that either. I applied through on-campus recruiting. I'm a finance major at a big state school.

 

The interviews are entirely fit/personality. Expect questions like why consulting, why PwC..the usual.

As for your role as an intern, it depends on the luck of the draw. Most interns get staffed on a local client, so you could be doing legitimate work, but an unlucky few get stuck doing an odd assortment of small tasks. Chances are you'll do quite a bit of Excel and PowerPoint work, as well as digging through SEC filings.

 

As far as I know, the majority of PwC advisory does not do case interviews at the associate level. My experience was a first round behavioral interview on campus, and then three behavioral interviews on the superday. The only positions I can think of that might do cases would be the former Diamond groups. I'm surprised the OP is interviewing for a "Management Consulting" internship...usually they place you into a specific group right away like Finance Effectiveness, M&A, Risk, etc.
