PNC Financial Services Group ACCEL Program Trainee interview questions

Contacted through campus career office. Got accepted for the interview. Mostly behavioral questions about teamwork, leadership, past experience. Two people interviewed me at the same time. They take a lot of notes too. Show that you are good with people. Review every question you find here and have 5-6 canned stories. Also, send out the thank you email the same day.

I first applied for the Accel Trainee position on pncsites.com/careers/students. A week later I received a phone call for a phone interview. The interview was very informative, the recruiter gave me a sort description of the program and we 15min interview which consisted of situational questions. ie "describe a time when..." Directly after the interview the recruiter said she was going forward my file to the next stage, and I should be hearing from another recruiter within 2weeks. I then received an email where I had to complete an online branch management assessment; the assessment was a rating system 1-5 scale, of 100 questions. Took about an hour to complete. After passing the assessment; I was invited to Pittsburgh for the Super day event, paid in full by PNC, flight & hotel. Which consisted of a night of mingling with executives, there were hors d'oeuvres & drinks. The following morning we had 1on1 interviews with executives where they asked situational questions, similar to the first interview. A month after the superday I received an offer for the position. Advice - Don't take online assessment lightly take your time on those questions. - Make sure you talk to everyone at the mingling session, so the executives remember you the following morning, during the 1on1 interviews. - Ask intelligent question, how do you feel about simpson bowles, talk about the cfpb. - and SMILE = ) "a lot"
