Before your interview, familiarize yourself with the digital management tools PwC uses or has recently developed. Comb through their job postings (including those positions you are not applying for) first to see if they mention any specific programs.
Once you have some idea of their expectations or what the programs they designed are most similar to, share the programs and tools that you have used in your previous roles that are most translatable to what they utilize. If you are new to the industry or your career, discuss your ability and willingness to learn their systems quickly.

"I have experience with application management and implementation tools. I have leveraged software and other tech offerings from companies such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce, and Cisco in the past. These tools are essential for accelerating projects and elevating the result. There isn't much information online about PwC's proprietary software, however. What can you tell me about that?"

"In your job posting, you mentioned that PwC uses many Salesforce and Oracle products. I would love to learn more about your internal systems as well. I have about one year of experience with Salesforce; however, I am eager to learn the offerings in greater depth."

As a consultancy company, they are in the business to help businesses work as efficiently as possible. As they state on their website, "PwC's Strategy believes the basis of essential advantage lies in coherence. Coherent companies, in our definition, have a clear set of capabilities that are in line with their value proposition and that they use over and over again in their portfolio. Do you have a winning strategy? Is your company strategically adrift? Or capability constrained? Or are you on the way to becoming a super competitor?"

I am familiar with using Rally, which is what we currently use in our project to manage the releases. It has lots of features that have made planning and release more efficient.
We also use Miro for developing vision boards and anything that we need to collaborate on. Jira is another tool we are planning to use, which I know on a high level but never used in a release. Aha was another tool that we tried, but it felt like we were duplicating a lot of work between Rally and Aha so we deprecated Aha.

Excellent answer. It appears that you are familiar with and comfortable using several different management tools, which the interviewer will appreciate. You also do a great job of explaining what you've used each of them for and what your opinion is of them.

I've worked across different industries and have found that each one has its own special set. My last project with Corning focused on adapting ESG processes throughout the organization using carbon-related SaaS, and their ERP versions of SAP- there were about 30 different types! Related to that is an area that I would be interested in exploring with PwC: climate modeling. The tools and possibilities are growing rapidly and this will be an area of opportunity for PwC to explore.

Good answer! You've named a recent project and the tools you used. If you've utilized other project management tools or strategies successfully in the past, you can share what aspects of each were most beneficial, user-friendly, or efficient.
