How long does it take for PwC middle east to respond after BU interview?

Hi, does anyone know how long does it take for PwC (Middle East Graduate Programme) to give a response for an invite to the final round (partner interview)? I did my second (case) interview a month ago.

Hey there,

There has definitely been a clustering of slow B4 responses in the Middle East. In general, that seems to be the norm now. 

However, since it is now longer than one month, I would definitely call them and ask about the status of your application...

Fingers crossed!

Hi, thank you! I sent an email to the HR 2 weeks ago, they responded very quickly saying that interviewers are still sending out feedbacks and they will get back to me. However, i still didn't get an answer and I think some people have gotten their offers.

Hi there,

Big 4 are sometimes quite slow in providing results – I helped a candidate recently that had to wait 2 months to get a reply after the interview. After 1 month you can definitely call the office and ask for feedback – there is no penalty in doing so.

Best,

Francesco

They are taking long...4 weeks + . Its frustrating, so just be patient. Keep other options going in parallel.

Always be patient with the responses. It may take from 2 weeks up to 6-8 to get one, so don't worry and focus on other tasks for now

Hi, I confirm it can take up to 4 weeks. I strongly recommend calling/texting HR without worrying about bothering them: they are there to help

Hi there,

I agree with Florian and Adi - I've seen the Middle East taking particularly long to respond recently. I'm not entirely sure why.

That said, I would be patient. Please don't reach out 3 weeks in a row and bother them - there's only downside risk!

That said, if it has been a month and you have not received anything back, you can absolutely reach out and gently inquire as to the status.

I've heard from more than a few candidates that the pace has slowed and 2-4weeks seems to be the norm
