After applying through my school I had an initial one-on-one interview with PwC on campus. The first interview was a half hour with about 20 minutes of that being open for questions. After that I was selected for an office presentation and interviewed with three different employees, each lasting a half hour.

Question 1
No technical questions and nothing unexpected. Each interview was conversational with basic behavioral questions.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Philadelphia, PA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Initial on-campus interview. Went well. The interviewer asked four main questions: "can you give me an example of a time you showed leadership?" "Can you give me an example of a time you showed empathy?" Basically just asking you about PwC's core values.
Second interview I was called back to the Philadelphia office. I was with three others. Interviewed with one partner and three managers. Interviews went well and I thought I was a contender for a spot. Two weeks past and I got the rejection letter. Heard from the guy that did get the job that he was offered the job a few hours after the interview. I figure they wait-listed me and were just waiting for the guy to accept.
