I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PwC in Oct 2018
Interview
I received an email stating their interest and an invitation to interview via webcam. The night of the initial interview with a senior associate I received an invitation for a second interview. The second interview was also via webcam where I spoke to a senior associate and a partner. The day after my interview with the partner, said partner called with a verbal offer. Was a very quick and relatively painless interview process. There were very few behavioral/situational type questions and more of an emphasis on "fit" so it was more conversational with me asking a lot of questions. Afterwards I always felt the interviews could have gone either way - an offer or a rejection. I needn't have prepped as much as I did (but you should still always prep).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time I worked in a diverse environment and how did that impact me or influence a decision I made?
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.

Final interview: was prepped by an early careers team member on a video call before hand. Interview was with a director or partner. Asked about how i expect to progress and why i want to work for the firm.
