I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
University campus onsite interview, interviews with 3-4 others (manager - partner level). Questions are mostly behavioral. During interview season there are typically many opportunities to get exposure with the firms through case studies and community service/social events.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a difficulty you ran into in a group project and what you did to get over it.
Everyone was very welcoming and the process was quite straightforward. I could even choose my location at the end. The interviews happened online and were conducted in German. I appreciate the quick feedback.
Technical questions were not like other technical interviews. They give you answers as options to pick from instead of you coming up with and presenting your answer like you would normally

Strength based interview, approx. 30 mins. The interviewers were friendly and approachable, as were the entire Talent team. Walked through my CV, general "why us, why you, why this team" questions. Felt like they really wanted to get to know you and how you would fit into the culture.
