Interview Details – I interviewed for an internship through my university’s on campus recruiting process. First step was a resume drop. Then first round interviews were conducted on campus: 30 min long, all fit, no cases. Interviewer was great, she was on her way from South Carolina to NYC and stopped in Philly to help interview for the day. After that came second round interviews: I was flown to Atlanta for a half day SuperDay. I was in the afternoon session. First, we had lunch, then half went to their interviews while the other half watched a PwC brand video and had a Q&A with current employees. Then, we switched. There were 3 interviews, each 30 minutes, and all with senior staff – one manager, one director, and one partner. After the interviews and Q&A we had a brief tour of the office before heading to the airport. Dress code was business casual – slacks, and button down, optional tie; or suit with no tie.
Interview Question – Not really anything too unexpected. Just make sure to establish rapport with the interviewer, and ask good questions about the firm - express your interest in them. Answer Question

Interview Details – 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.

Interview Details – 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.

Interview Details –
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.

Interview Details – I applied online on PwC's website and had to fill out a lengthy and detailed profile and also had to submit a resume through my University's career website. I was offered an interview and accepted and I am currently waiting to hear back from them. They said it would be early to mid-April for them to make selections and notify us. This is because they are interviewing for both the local and national programs and they have to wait all of the interviews to be conducted at every university they interview at so they can first select the participants to the national program. Had a very pleasant and down to earth interviewer that made it an enjoyable experience. My interview was more about the interviewer getting to know my personality than it was any technical skills or situational responses. Great experience!

Interview Details –
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.

Interview Details – 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.

Interview Details – 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.
