I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PwC (New York, NY) in Nov 2013
Interview
Talked about background, past experiences, industry, why PwC, past projects. Fairly straightforward questions, friendly and engaging. Went to headquarters and had 8 back-to-back interviews, all exactly the same...interviewers like to talk about themselves alot. ALso had a phone screen by HR before on-site interview. Overall a very easy and straightforward interview, no technicals, no grilling, to be honest, the interview is a bit of a chore for the staff and is typically on a friday afternoon so everyone just wants to get it over with and go home.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at PwC
Interview
Phone screening and two interviews. Interview questions were thoughtful, and I met with staff at all different levels. I got a contingent job offer, but waited a very long time for an actual start date (they were waiting to win work). The recruiter was very responsive to my questions, although I think she should have made more of an effort to check in. The only thing I didn't like was that they offered me an Experienced Associate job, when I applied for a Senior Associate position. They just sent the paperwork and told me to sign it without ever mentioning the change in title and salary. When I asked outright, I didn't really get an explanation.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Houston, TX) in Sep 2014
Interview
call with recruiter, then technical screening with a director, and then flew to Houston for a three round interview with Partner, Director and Manager. Offer took about 3 weeks to come in. Recruiter called me to tell me I got the job but didn't give me a formalized offer letter for at least one week after.
