Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
I applied to the job via Monster.com. I sent in my resume and received a response right away. The recruiter called me to set up a phone interview for the following week. The interview was very relaxed- it was all behavioral questions and lasted 30 minutes. Two days later i received a phone call to schedule an in-person interview. I haven't had it yet, but from what I understand, it will consist of peer interviews, partner intreviews, and a hiring manager interview- all on one day.

firstly, i had a group exercise. it was with 3 other people so 4 of us altogether and youre basically given a booklet of info and theres youre given 20 mins to read it and write notes and then 30 mins to discuss. the 20 minutes ur given are ample time to read the booklet as there is not TOO much info. but just remember to look at the time when they say go because i didnt do that and didnt know when my 20 mins were up until they told me. youve got 30 mins to discuss which is more than enough and you just basically discuss amongst yourselves the findings youve got.

Interviewed Jul 2007 in Yildiz, Istanbul (Turkey) (took 2 days)
In the first phase I met with a senior manager and a partner from Advisory Services. After introducing myself shortly, I have eloborate my roles that I take in my internships and give some details of courses which I took during university years.
After introduction, partner and manager started to ask mee some questions regarding what I expect in next couple of years in my career and why I should be a good candidate to be an associate in transaction services.
They were very kind during the interview and answered all my questions honestly regardin the nature of the job.

Negotiation Details
No, I could not negotiate, because I was a fresh graduate from the university. As everbody knows it is hard to negotiate without any subtle specialization and experience.

Interviewed May 2007 in Boston, MA (took 2 weeks)
There are 2 rounds of interviews. An initial screening on-campus and then you are invited to the PwC office to meet with three other high level staff. The questions were very straight forward as they know they are interviewing kids straight from college. They are looking for people that want ot be in the accounting field and have strong communication skills.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in Washington, DC (took a day)
After having a colleague refer me to an open position, PWC indicated that they weren't hiring at that time. About a month later I was asked to interview for an Associate position within their Government Affairs practice group.
The group was unique to PWC in the sense that they focused more on the legislative side of the accounting/financial world.
The position was in support of two managers, one senior manager, and one vice president, all whom I interviewed with. Overall, the culture of PWC is very strong, and more lively than I expected for what many consider a dull accounting firm. PWC has a lot of government consulting contracts to make gov't work more efficiently. I was impressed by the team, though the role was more support than the legislative experience I had.

Interviewed Jan 2007 in Mc Lean, VA (took 2 weeks)
Initial interview with a Director level interviewer. The interview was conversational and non-behavioral. The second interview was an office visit with two directors where one interview was very similiar to the inital interview and the other was 100% behavioral. I met with some staff members for lunch and we also were provided with a presentation regarding the firms services and clients.
