I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Viena) in Dec 2017
Interview
I applied online through their website and got invited to an interview shortly after. The first interview was a rather relaxed "getting-to-know-each-other" type of deal with a Manager and Associate from the team I applied for, as well as an HR person. The second interview was a typical on-site case study, with the Manager who I would be working for, a Senior Associate from the team, and the Partner, as well as an HR person. Overall the process was quite relaxed and the case study a lot more relevant and at the same time chill (aka realistic) when compared to other big name consultancies, especially the strategy brand of the likes of McKinsey.

Question 1
The case study was simply based on a recent project they did in the area for which I applied for. During the interview, they gave me a short outline of the case with a few questions to look into and then everybody left the room for 15 minutes to give me time to think about it and prepare some preliminary answers. When they came back, it was less of a looking for the "right" answer from me immediately, but more of an open discussion among everybody to discuss the range of potential answers. It felt more like they tried to understand how I thought and how I approached problems, and yes, also how much I knew about the area I was applying for, but less like testing how many hours I prepared for the case (as is standard for the likes of McKinsey).
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at PwC
Interview
There were two rounds:
1. Manager round: He asked basic questions on past profile and checked my understanding
2. Director round: He checked basic concepts on the business understanding. There was a small case to be solved
