I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Amsterdam) in Dec 2013
Interview
After my letter was accepted I was invited to do an online assessment. After passing this, I had an interview with a senior associate and a senior manager. Rather basic questions about background education and other general stuff. They were precise and did not put up too much effort to come across friendly. I got the feeling they were trying to get me out of my comfort zone. I received an offer the same day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What makes you different from other applicants in a way that benefits this department.
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.
