After passing SHL tests and the HR interview, PwC emailed me in October and said I moved to the Business Unit Interview stage and that they were going to send details about my interview in January. It’s almost March now and I already sent them a follow-up email — no response. Should I give up hope or is this normal during the recruitment process? What do you advise me to do?

Hey A,
they are delaying the interview due to their internal business situation, Most probably they don't have enough projects at the moment or do not need to hire additional people since consulting is highly seasonal business.
My recommendations are:
1. Calm down and be patient - you are already invited to the next round and noone will take it from you.
2. Give them a friendly call and try to clarify the date of the next assessment.
3. Stay hungry and focused - master your interview (personal fit and case) preparations in the meantime to convert this chance into a job offer.
Good luck!

Hello. I spoke to them a few days ago regarding the exact situation. Due to their busy recruiting season which took place around January, they re-scheduled the business unit interview. They will contact you once they finalize the schedule (in a few weeks according to them). I hope this helps :).

Hello,
I would suggest to call the HR that followed your process. It's not normal that they didn't tell you anything. Even if you get rejeted, they wwould communicate it to you.
Contact HR and don't be afraid, they are there to help.

Hi Anonymous,
they have probably delayed the recruiting process for internal reasons; I would recommend to call HR to get information directly from them.
Best,
