I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PwC in Apr 2016
Interview
Just finished my Telephone Interview with PWC. I had a pleasant interviewer who put me at ease and the overall interview was a pleasant experience. The questions that were asked were only the ones that have been discussed online and on several forums. I was prepared but still was nervous and blabbered a bit. Waiting to hear about the results.
Usual questions included Why PWC?, Why assurance? Recent business news you've tracked that PWC can help with, What do you know about the qualification you will be undertaking etc.
She asked me questions from all the core competencies. Follow the STAR technique and be calm and prepared.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Des Moines, IA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Applied through a another school's campus recruiting and the recruiter thought that was a plus, so reached our right after to ask for the link to apply, then after less than 2 weeks, i hear back for a phone interview. The phone interview was great and the person on the phone was friendly and a cool thing was that she explained what "PwC Professional" means. Look it up before any of their interviews, this is KEY! Then an office interview for 3 hrs to do 3 rounds of interview, manager, director, partner.
The office interview was cool and we mingled with office staff during that time to know more about the day to day. They do that to test soft skills. At the end of that day we played trivia which serves as a way to learn more about PwC in a fun way.
Then an offer after 14 calendar days :)
