Interview
I applied through my campus career center website and got the invitation 2 weeks after the deadline. The interview was held 5 days after the invitation. The interviewer was very kind and the interview was more like conversation. And she tried to give much information about PwC and audit.

Interview
You have to apply online.
The first part of the interview involved a mathematical and scenario based essay. You have to manage your time well, and personally I did not finish all the questions for the mathematical test. I think the objective of the test is to see how well you perform under pressure and tight timeline.
After that getting through the first stage, I had an interview with an assurance manager. The type of questions asked were quite standard and more geared towards knowing the candidate's background and his or her ability to communicate and hold a conversation. Preparing questions to ask is a plus!

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (New York, NY) in Oct 2016
Interview
Interned at PwC year prior so skipped the initial screening interviews. Attended pre-interview dinner and Superday where 3 interviews took place (2 Senior associates and 1 partner interview). Nothing formal about the pre-interview dinner, smart casual attire and team building activities in the 300 Madison office. Was really just to calm nerves for what is to come the following day. Interviews went well mostly behavioral questions, first 2 were directly concerning the "PwC Professional" framework. I specifically got Relationships and Business Acumen. Third interview was a little more technical and specific to auditing (i.e. professional skepticism examples, FASB codification research). Be prepared to ask questions at the end of the interview, they purposely allot time for this. I wrote down about 10 questions on my notepad and asked as many as I could before the 30 minutes were up and I moved on to the next interview. Be sure to ask for business cards to send thank you emails later on that day.
Be yourself, this really is just a chance for the PwC staff to meet you and get a feel for your personality. Be confident in your abilities, you have made it this far which is an accomplishment in and of itself now just go show your great personality. Best of luck
