I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PwC in Oct 2011
Interview
I went to the on campus career fair then signed up for campus interview. Within one week was notified that my request for interview has been accepted. The campus interview was 1:1, with questions like "tell me about yourself/ your work experience/ behavior question". 1 week later received an email invitation for Office Visit. The Office Visit consisted 3 of 1:1 /45mins each interviews. Lots of behavior questions!!
That night received a call from a manager congratulated me on my offer, 2 days later HR called and sent me the offer contract.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Be sure to work on behavior questions. Team spirit is very important.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC in Nov 2011
Interview
The process took two weeks from the initial phone interview to receipt of the offer, although this may depend on what 'tier/wave' they placed me in (that is, they may have invited me to the first phone interview after they had considered other candidates). Feedback after the in-office visit, however, did suggest that all the 'waves' were consolidated into one interview 'superday'.
Not sure if this is typical, it was certainly not intentional, but rapport developed with the interviewers resulted in my leading the structure of the interview. Tried to relay every answer back to 'why this firm (& what distinguishes them)', 'why this practice and why I considered myself a good fit for this role' etc. I recommend you use your concluding questions to differentiate yourself and to leverage as another talking point (my intent was to keep the next interviewee waiting!)
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What made this firm stand out among its competitors, and why I felt I would be a good fit here, and for this particular practice (skillset, personality, experience)
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (New York, NY) in Nov 2011
Interview
The Interviewing process was very relaxed. I had the Pre-Interview Social, then the Campus Interview set up through my Career Services. I later got called back for the office interview which consisted of a presentation, panel discussion, three interviews with staff members, and a lunch with my host and the other candidates. The interviewers were very casual and the staff made it seem like this company is the company I'd like to work for. I got a call back the same day with an offer.
