I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at PwC (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2011
Interview
recruiting starts in the beginning of your junior year of college. You start by going to on campus recruiting events, networking, building relationships, and expressing interest. Then as things go on you get put on a contact list where they invite you to more events to better know you. Then midway through the quarter you get asked to do a first round on campus interview where they ask behavioral questions. If you pass you get invited for a second round in January (winter break is a quiet period). There you go in house and do 2-3 interviews with upper level employees. You get a buddy who guides you around the office, and after the interviews you do lunch with the associates.

Question 1
Can you tell me about a time where you were working in a group, and someone wasn't doing their fair share of the work?
Technical questions were not like other technical interviews. They give you answers as options to pick from instead of you coming up with and presenting your answer like you would normally

Strength based interview, approx. 30 mins. The interviewers were friendly and approachable, as were the entire Talent team. Walked through my CV, general "why us, why you, why this team" questions. Felt like they really wanted to get to know you and how you would fit into the culture.
Super straight forward, standard difficulty questions with a few requiring STAR structured responses. They also asked about my experiences both at uni and extracurricular. It was online for me and I had 2 interviewers.
