Interviewed Feb 2011 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 3 days)
I had 3 rounds of interviews. The first was with a Senior Associate which consisted of a case and behavioral questions. Second sound was with a Manager and it was mostly about fit. Last one was with a Partner, and that was also about fit. The case was straight forward, their main concern and concentration was on fit. Overall the process was fair with no surprises.

I had a pre-screening interview with PWC. I was told I would hear back the following week. I followed-up three subsequent times with the recruiter and she never responded. For a company that prides themselves on their reputation, saying and not delivering is a tarnish. Would definitely impact any thoughts I would have on hiring them in the future.
On the other hand, have been interviewing with Accenture and found them to be quite responsive.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took a day)
It was mainly 2 interviewers. 1 partner and 1 human resources officer. The Hr person was mainly for behaviour type questions like teamwork, initiative, leadership. So you can describe any extracurricular activities. Whereas, the partner just told me to tell me about yourself and this was the only question asked. This was to get a sense of yoru character

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 4+ weeks)
Interview with HR - mostly typical behavioural questions. Tell me about a time when you had to sell your point of view...when you had to deal with a difficult client....when you had multiple priorities Then interview with a manager - who asked me some technical questions and more behavioural questions...tell me how you assess a process and make recommendations. That was it...I had a bit of an expedited process because it was a managing director brining me over.
