Interviewed Oct 2009 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
Started at an information session, submitted resume/ CL and was called for an interview a week later. very informal interview consisted of 2 back to back ints with partners. Asked basic questions about where I see myself, skills, etc. Successfully completed both interviews but I don't believe my passion was really in it so did not get/accept offer.

Interviewed Jan 2007 (took a day)
First round interview was an on-campus interview with two PwC professionals-- 30
minutes each. The
second round interview was an office visit with interviews with two PwC
professionals-- 30 minutes
each. The office visit was pretty relaxed. I believe that at that point, the
professionals know
you are competent to do the work. They just want to know if they like you and
if you will work well
with the team.
Interview questions: No technical questions. All behavioral questions, such as
"Tell me about a time when you worked in a group and one member was not pulling
their weight." One interviewer asked me to walk them through my resume and
discuss my greatest achievement. One question that caught me off guard was "How
would your last manager describe you?"

Interviewed Feb 2009 in McLean, VA (took a day)
There was a networking event the night before the interview with current PwC employees. The interview itself was short consisting of only two questions. First, the partner I was interviewing with explained that PwC was not going to lay off any employees throughout the economic downturn and wanted to know what I thought about that strategy. Second, he asked why I want to work in public accounting.

Interviewed Mar 2009 (took 4 weeks)
I posted my resume on my university career center website. Within two weeks I received an email that I had been selected to interview on campus. The night before the interview PwC hosted a reception at a local hotel where we would be able to meet with associates and manager and have the opportunity to meet the interviewer. I was interviewed by an Audit partner, other people I spoke too were interviewed by managers. I found out a week later that I had been selected for a 2nd round, in office interview, the form put me up at the Ritz Carlton the night before the interview and I had to report to the PwC offices at 8:30 AM. The 2nd round consisted of various information sessions and 2 more interviews with managers and partners. Two weeks later they called me personally to tell me they could not give me an offer.
