I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (New York, NY) in Nov 2008
Interview
This process began with on-campus recruitment where PwC visited and conducted first round interviews. A dinner with people from the team I was interviewing for was held the night before which was incredibly helpful and allowed for great insight into the interview the next day. This initial interview was a fairly easy behavioral interview, b/c I had made my impression already the night before at dinner (I sat next to the person who interviewed me). The next step was a full day interview on-site at the PwC building in NYC. I interviewed with 3 people - HR and 2 managers on the team. There was a lunch with a peer where I was able to ask additional questions, and a panel where I heard from recent hires. The day was long, but it was done well. The interviews did not involve a case, but were very behavioral and situationally based. Lots of examples were requested and details were required. Finally, there was a 1 hour interview with the head partner over the phone which was supposed to be a formality. It turned into a pretty detailed and specific interview about what I had done and what I wanted to do. I believe this last interview played a role in my negotiation. Overall culture was impressive, and build upon a platform of a "coaching environment". Overall office atmosphere was busy, but light-hearted.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please describe for me an experience when you were asked to lead a team. Walk me through your initial thought process regarding setting it up, forming the team. What went right? What went wrong? Be more specific. Okay, now take me back before that and tell me what you were thinking. Why were you thinking that? What experiences in the past helped you to think that way? Okay, let's go back to where we were. Etc.
General behavioral questions with some technical questions related to cases. Not too challenging and fairly intuitive if you’re comfortable with cases. Interview process was easy and straight-forward. Recruiters and interviewers were easy to work with.

I interviewed at pwc, the questions were a bit hard, aptitude test, verbal test, looking to do the online interview. It was challenging, practice definitely helps a lot. I interviewed for the graduate associate program, i did not get assurance associate, i got advisory associate. Hurray
