Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
I had two 1:1 interviews, each lasting about a half an hour. The first guy seemed pretty uninterested in what I had to say. I was basically just answering his questions, and then he would write something down and ask me a different question. There wasn't much reciprocation. The second guy was much more interesting. He would ask me follow-up questions to my responses, and he genuinely seemed interested in our interview (which was actually more like a conversation).

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
The initial communication started at a Big Four career fair where I got to meet with some of the recruiters. I got to talk with PWC the most in-depth and liked the people I spoke with so applied. For the first round interview, it was through on-campus recruiting and was a good experience. For PWC, it was behavioral for both the first and second round interviews. They hold a pre-interview outing/dinner for each round and in terms of professionalism and opportunity to get to know the firm and its culture, I would say PWC did a great job. They have a great structure for their second round interviews and was able to get to meet with a lot of people from the firm. Everyone was very willing to speak with the potential candidates and was quite a good experience.

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took 2 months)
Had a topic given to share my view points on what consultancy & advisory mean. Given a clocked time to complete. Followed by a first round of HR interview by the HR Manager. Took abt 3weeks to receive an second call. The second level was carried by Director along with Associate Director. Primarily asked abt my experiences and how I can contribute to the role which they were looking. Know your resume in and out and some of the inner experiences in work. Almost took abt 1hr and were convinced. Though informed me of another interview round by the partner but took almost 4 weeks to receive an call by the HR Manager to confirm the selection.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
The first round consisted of 2 sessions (30 min). I did not get through to the second round, but it is case interview.
PwC asked questions like: Where do you see PwC in five years? How do you deal with "free riders" in a group? I also got questions about the company`s values. I would recommend other candidates to study the web page so you have knowledge about Pwc and the core values. The values are important to PwC, so you might get questions about them.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in McLean, VA (took a day)
Interview was great...more of a conversation than Q&A. No case study. The office building was very nice-- nice facilities and close to a lot of restaurants and shopping. Only problem came when it got to the negotiation phase. The recruiter was pushy and I did not like her approach.
Negotiation Details
Appartently this firm does not pay as well as the others (e.g., Deloitte). The recruiter not willing to negotiate is a big red flag for me...but I'm willing to see how things go in the first 6 months. My circumstances may not be the same as yours, so it never hurts to try.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.
