I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Saint Joseph, MN) in Sep 2015
Interview
I heard about the position from my college's Career Services office. I then applied online via their website. It was all relatively easy. I heard back within two weeks and scheduled an on campus interview. The interview was simply a conversation about myself and my interviewer. We discussed the 5k that I was doing that weekend and my job as an RA. This was a very informal interview. I did not make it to the next round of interviews which were formal. It felt like an easy interview. I know I did well in the conversation but my resume (i.e. my GPA) is not the most amazing and I believe that is what held me back from getting a second interview. With it only being a conversation, I didn't have the opportunity to explain why I am qualified despite my less than stellar GPA. This is simply a tough one to gage your performance on.

I applied online. I interviewed at PwC (Londra, Inghilterra)
Interview
Immediately after submitting your application you will be invited to the first stage, an online assessment involving maths and logic problems, similar to other companies.
About a month later I was notified of the second stage, an online virtual assessment centre. The VAC lasted about 4 hrs and has three parts: a group interview where we discuss a fictional consulting problem, an individual task writing a report based on given information, and a one-to-one interview that mainly focuses on your experience in the group session, along with some motivational/behavioural questions.
The third stage is a one-to-one in-person partner interview. Before your interview they’ll invite you to a coaching call where they tell you some things that may come up and how to prepare. They’ll also give you some idea about how you did in the VAC and what you can improve. At the actual interview, the style really depends on your interviewer and it felt more like a coffee chat. Although my advice is to study some PwC values and your own motivation beforehand. The interview was nice and I was notified about my result in only about 3 weeks.
lot of stages of interview. i need to take a test. then go through the first stage of interview. then 2nd interview is quite tough as they the questions are more very high thinking level which i am underprepared. but it was a great experience.
The process was well-structured and professional overall. It included behavioral questions, discussions about audit/accounting concepts, and questions focused on teamwork and problem-solving. Interviewers were friendly and made the conversation comfortable. The process was moderately challenging but fair, with clear communication throughout.
