I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
I got the opportunity to apply via a recruiter who directed me to an online application. A week or two later I had a phone interview consisting of three questions relating to PWC's principles and how I embody them "at work or at school". I was then invited to the San Francisco office for the final round of interviews. The final round consisted of two 1-on-1 interviews and an opportunity to ask questions to a panel with several employees.
I was given an offer via phone the same day as the interview.

Question 1
What is something you've done at work or at school that has required high attention to detail?
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.
Super straight forward, standard difficulty questions with a few requiring STAR structured responses. They also asked about my experiences both at uni and extracurricular. It was online for me and I had 2 interviewers.
