I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2014
Interview
Easy. 3 interviews and didn't get asked anything technical at all. Pretty much just getting to know you and seeing if they could work next to you. This is important due to the long hours that occur throughout the year (not just busy season so don't believe that). Nice enough people but some of the partners can't help but ooze ego when talking about themselves.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you faced adversity in making a decision and how you reacted to it.
Very straightforward, partners & senior managers were friendly and asked expected technical questions. Key thing to stand out is to really research the company and how the grad programme works - focus on exactly what you will do in assurance, what the role would look like and also some basic accounting understanding.
online application for graduate role had initial aptitude test. I passed and did the one way digital interview which was just answering 2 questions where you record your self. Passed and went to assessment center which was a group case study and interview.
There will be 2 parts in the interview process. First is case study and second is user interview. Case study is about if you become an auditor, how will you audit the client. The user interview is basic questions like experience, where will you be in 5 years, etc.
