I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PwC (Boston, MA) in Nov 2010
Interview
After a pre-interview networking night and an on-campus interview with a college recruiter, I was offered an office visit, the second-round interview. Over 50 candidates for Associate positions in Assurance (auditing), Tax, and Risk Assurance (or SPA) were invited to the PwC Boston Office. These candidates were broken into groups and first had an information session. A partner and a hiring manager spoke about the company, and then current employees rotated around groups to introduce themselves and told us about their work. Then there were three 1:1 interviews with managers and senior managers. The day was concluded by a cocktail networking session.
It was an okay interview session, in which it lasted for an hour. Mostly panels will ask about yourself so that they can better understand you as a person. There were only two panels which consist of Senior Manager and a Manager.
HR is really nice and 2 interviews (2 with manager and another with 1 director). Verbal offer and then written offer. Full pay on probation. Nice boss and team member. Hybrid mode

Question 1
What is your experience and your technical competency.
I applied via the Pwc website and they emailed me to set up a meeting. The HR lady was very helpful and friendly. After she asked a little more about me they set up a meeting with partners and director. Best interview I've had.
