I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC in Sep 2014
Interview
I applied online and then interviewed on campus. The woman who interviewed me was part-time, and told me at the start of the interview that she was covering for someone else who was supposed to be doing interviews. I don't think this woman knew what to do in the interview, which I think is part of the reason why I didn't get an office visit afterwards. She basically read me a script about PwC, and then asked some scripted questions.
These Big 4 positions are very competitive. If the person interviewing you doesn't know exactly what to do, then it's a big problem for you. The interviewer really has to advocate well for advancing you to the next round. If you're like me and end up with someone who doesn't really know what they're doing and doesn't seem to care about the interview, then you're pretty much done and not getting the job.

Interview
First I had to apply online. Then a recruiter called me. I did not like her because she only let me apply to my first location choice. I could not interview with the philly office as well.
After my basic interview with the recruiter I had an office interview. First we had to eat breakfast with the other people interviewing. Then we had an intro session. After, we had three one on one interviews . The day concluded with lunch at a local restaurant.

Question 1
I was asked a question about whether or not I invest in ethical companies.
Also during the intro, we were asked "fun facts" about us. Seemed cheesy to me.
