I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Hong Kong) in Nov 2012
Interview
Assessment centre where we have group activity to see if we are a good team player. Then there are 2 more rounds of interviews to meet the manager and ultimately the partner.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No technical questions. More questions were really straight forward and nothing unexpected. (questions about your strength and weaknesses, and causal chat to see your personality, i.e. what will you do after the school final exam, any travelling plan?) The key is to entertain your manager or partner, they get bored and tired after a long day of work and they want to hear something more fun.
5 rounds of interview with always 2 different people. The first is more informal, the second is more behavioural, the third is a case study after which you are interviewed by with seniors managers, then you have a 60 min test and finally an interview with partners.

Question 1
There were many questions that I have been asked, difficult to state the most important. Probably the case study and the interview after was very important.
Standard case interview - 3 rounds: one behavioral, one case, one with partner. The case is s standard consulting case. The behavioral and partner interviews are standard as well. The case interview can prepped for with standard management consulting case reviews.
Application
I interviewed at PwC (Houston, TX)
Interview
Pretty straightfoward. Lots of case studies and some were harder than others. Some of the partner interviews they seemed uninterested so the vibe was off a bit. Also over zoom.
