Interviewed Dec 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
I was first contacted for an office visit for the tax-IAS internship. I did not get a typical first round interview but instead received an email offering an office visit. The office visit consisted of four interviews and a lunch. Overall, the experience was really great-- I really enjoyed speaking to each interviewer (three managers and one partner) and the overall interview was very much conversational and less Q&A. They made me feel very comfortable. Two days later, I received an offer through a phone call. The duration of their decision process was pleasantly quick.

I was asked to summarize my resume for the interviewer. He asked many behavioral questions about group experiences and leadership abilities. He picked out one leadership camp I went to and asked if I would elaborate on that.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 weeks)
The first round consisted of 2-30 min interviews on campus. It was mostly behavioral with two managers typically from the office you are applying to. It is important to let them know what specific area you are interested in even if you decide to change later because they typically recruit by different service areas. I was interviewing for a Technology position but told them I was interested in M&A and then got switched and put into that for the 2nd round.
2nd round was a lunch followed by two hr long interviews with managers and principals within the specific area for which you are applying. Again it was pretty much behavioral and resume stuff. One of them asked me a mini case question but nothing like typical cases and it was more like a discussion. It ends with a panel discussion so you can ask any questions you have left.
They told us, we will hear back withing a week so still waiting to hear back.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
You apply for a position through the campus representative. You submit your resume through your school's career website and through the PWC career website also. If you get chosen, your first round interview is on campus. They usually have a mid level to senior manager interview. They rarely have associates interviewing you.
The interviewer I interviewed with was very laid back. Some are more formal. However, they first go through your resume with you and you talk about some of your work experiences and leadership experiences. He asked me about my extra-circular activities as well. Then he asked why I want to get into public accounting. Apparently, they are supposed to ask you some behavioral questions about how well you work on a team and ask you about some situations when you worked on a team. But during my interview, he didn't really ask me those things. I wasn't sure why but we did spend a lot of time on my resume so maybe that's why. And then we ended with me asking him two questions.
Their second round interview is an office visit. You should indicate your location choice during the interview. You can choose locations that aren't near your school. And if you get chosen for a second round interview, you interview at that office location that you choose.

Interviewed Feb 2008 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
I was invited to interview for the Transfer Pricing Associate position. I interviewed with several people (one on one) and was in the office for approximately 5 hours. The interview consists of basic interview questions. No technical questions were asked because they really don't expect people to know too much about transfer pricing. It was a pleasant experience overall and everyone was friendly and personable.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 days)
I was called for a first round, on-campus interview with PwC where I met with the Director of the Risk Assurance group. It was a relatively laid back process. He asked me what I was interested in, gave me some background on himself and the group and asked me why risk assurance. Basically it was more of a conversation. He did look at his behavioral question sheet, but said I pretty much answered all of it. He did emphasize that I give an experience where I had to adapt quickly. I was called within four days and offered the opportunity for an office visit interview. The firm will put us up in a hotel, take us to dinner and then interview us the next day. It seems like the kind of situation where if I don't make a complete ass out of myself, I have a good chance of being able to accept an internship position.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 days)
Met with director in the office after being contacted by company recruiter. When I arrived, Director was unaware the interview was supposed to take place. No set questions, just casual discussion about each of our backgrounds and his group was trying to do within the practice area. Ended with director asking me to write a memo about how I would go about business development for him.

Interviewed May 2009 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
I went into the room, and there was the recruiter making small talk with the other that were waiting. I believe there were 18 students that were getting an interview for this position, and there were less than 5 position open for the whole southeast region. Once I got into the room, I had met the partner that was interviewing me. She went through my resume and would ask me to clarify things. After that, she asked ONE behavioral question, and another question on "What do you like to do outside of academics?", and if I had any questions. The interview seemed like it was fine (not awesome), but I didn't get a call back. It is VERY competitive.

This was an on campus interview and office visit. Very laid back on campus more just getting to know you and personality type questions. Office visit more formal multiple one on one interviews and dinners. PwC does reimburse for travel and even put me up in the Four Seasons in Atlanta.
