I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (New York, NY) in Nov 2013
Interview
First went through on campus recruiting. Met with a manager from PWC and was very conversational interview. Asked about teamwork examples (bad team players, how you handled situation, etc). Received a call for a second round interview about 4-5 days afterwards. The super day kept being pushed back because they wanted all the candidates to be in the office at the same time. Was pushed back about 3 weeks to late November.
Superday started with breakfast, a HR manager presentation and then a panel with 2 young associates. Make sure to ask a question ( I asked about opportunities for international travel). Next I had 3 consecutive interviews starting with the manager, then director and lastly managing director. The manager asked the most technical questions ( Why Pwc, why tax, how do you manage time, work late + manage course load, team work, etc). The director was very laid-back and talked about the social aspect, sports teams that PWC can offer. Maybe asked 1 question off my resume regarding previous internship. Lastly was the managing director. Asked several questions about why accounting, why my school and why tax. Make sure to speak about at least one relevant accounting issue related to your position with the partner. This will set you apart from other candidates and the partners will love it that you did some outside research. Overall process was simple. Interviewed wendesday and heard back Monday for an offer in NYC office.

Interview
I got in contact with a recruiter. We did a preliminary interview before I interviewed with a partner. Then on the Super Day I interviewed with several partners. The whole interview process was long but very easy going in the beginning. Towards the end the interviews got to be a little more nerve racking.

Question 1
"Tell me a situation in which you had to..." Scenario questions are the most difficult.

Interview
I was first invited to an on-campus interview. It consisted of many behavioral questions and as always, they will end with "do you have any questions for me?" After this, I was called in for an in-office interview. This process took half the day, 8am-3pm, which starts off with a presentation by the recruiters, 3 consecutive 30 minute interviews by higher ups (managers, senior managers, partners), and then lunch. The interviews also consisted of behavioral questions. Honestly, I think to get into the national leadership program, you needed the second round interview. If they were just thinking of accepting you for local, you would receive the offer right after the first round. This is just my speculation.

Question 1
There really are none. All questions were just normal, behavioral questions.
