Big 4 video interview questions
Big 4 video interview questions for graduate hiring
Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG often include a recorded video interview in graduate and internship hiring. Each firm writes its own questions. Candidates commonly report prompts about motivation, deadlines, learning quickly, teamwork, and attention to detail.
Nothing on this page is an official question from those firms. Use the prompts to practice structure and pacing, then adjust the timer to the platform named in your invite. Spark Hire, HireVue, and others all show up in this process depending on the firm and the year.
1. Why this firm, and why professional services?
How to approach it: Say what draws you to client work, then one concrete reason for this firm. Generic prestige is easy to spot on video.
2. Tell us about a time you delivered careful work on a tight deadline.
How to approach it: Show how you protected quality when time was short. What did you check, and what did you choose not to do?
3. Describe a time you had to learn something new quickly.
How to approach it: Name what you did not know, how you closed the gap, and how you used it. Firms hire people who can ramp.
4. Tell us about a time you handled a difficult client, customer, or stakeholder.
How to approach it: Stay calm in the retelling. What did they need, what did you do, and how did the relationship end up?
5. Give an example of when attention to detail changed the outcome.
How to approach it: One specific catch beats a speech about being detail-oriented. What would have happened if you had missed it?
6. Describe a time you joined a team and your role was unclear.
How to approach it: Show how you clarified ownership without waiting to be told every step.
7. Tell us about a time you made a mistake in your work. What did you do?
How to approach it: Own it in one or two sentences. Spend the rest on the fix, who you told, and what you changed.
8. How do you stay organized when the workload spikes?
How to approach it: Describe a simple system you actually use, then one week where it mattered.
