I did it the fifth of January. The AC includes individual report, group exercise and numerical and logic tests. It was not that intensive than I thought but have not received any news yet. It is said that it is important to have clear structure for report and have a good layout is quite helpful. So I prepared a simple layout before AC. Also make sure you practise enough tests as you might get stuck under pressure.

Question 1
Group exercise is about a case study and you will receive general information and individual information
Interview process included the following steps:
-online psychometric test. This was the generic one across all other big 4 and professional service firms. Good strategy would be to do a few practise runs before taking the actual test, as it can be quite challenging.
-phone interview. This involves a quick 20-30 mins phone conversation with the campus recruiter. Generally would ask you questions like "why are you interested in this role", "how have you demonstrated firm values", etc. So as long as you have your application ready and do your firm research beforehand, should be fine.
-assessment centre (group activity, an onsite psychometric exam, panelist discussion and interview with a partner and manager). Group activity would involve case study and recruiters are looking to how you interact in a team environment. Probably just aim to be a "team member" rather than a leader. Panelist discussion is just to confirm that your results are consistent with your previous test. Individual interview with manager/partner is probably the most important as they have the end say based on their evaluation. Some partners/managers are chilled whilst others are more reserved. However partners have great conversational skills, so as long as they can see that you are capable of talking to senior people it should be fine.

Question 1
Generally the conversation can be as chilled/casual as they drive it. However one of the key things they will probably bring up is the company values and how you have demonstrated it in the past (either extra curricular, employment or personal).
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at PwC (Storrs, CT) in Sep 2014
Interview
Three rounds on campus interview. One with HR the next with a Manager and the last with a Partner. They each had their own style, none of them asked technical questions. One round was a run down of my resume while the other two were more conversational. A few typical interview questions were asked focusing on my strengths and weaknesses, as well as, why I wanted to work for this firm in particular. At the end of each the floor was opened up to me for my questions. I was called the following day with an offer.
