I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at PwC (London, England) in Mar 2016
Interview
Took online tests, which were nothing to worry about if you practice. Next was a competency based phone interview - again, if you prepare answers for any questions you can think of at this stage and act confidently you will be fine. Then an assessment centre - can't really practice this, time goes very quickly in the written exercise and make sure you are confident during the group exercise. Similar tests to the online tests were repeated on paper. Final interview was very informal - 20, 30 minutes of a general chat about the business and a few competency based questions thrown in. The last stage was definitely the most relaxed. Overall, if you sound enthusiastic, do your research and act confidently, you will be fine.
