I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (McLean, VA) in Oct 2013
Interview
Selected for an on-campus interview and was invited to a meet and greet event the night before. There were a bunch of PwC employees there and we all mingled and ate, it was very laid back. The next day was my 1 on 1 interview with a manager, which was very relaxed. We basically had a conversation for an our, and I didn't feel like I was being grilled at all. I heard back a few days later with an invite to the on-site visit that Friday in McLean. Myself and about 15 other candidates were there. We met in the lobby, got a presentation with lunch, and then the interviews began. My first interview was with a manager and that consisted of a few behavioral questions. My second interview was with a partner and it was again behavioral. My last interview was with another manager, and this was the case interview. They gave us the case in advance but gave us the questions that day. The case was pretty complicated and the questions were specific to each candidate's line of service. This is the first time PwC is doing case studies for undergrad interns. Prepare well in advance and you will wow them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time an acquaintance helped you complete a task or learn something new.
Why PwC?
What are you looking for in an internship?
Interviewer was really sweet. Asked basic questions about my resume. Be prepared to go into depth about the how, why, and result of each experience. Felt like a relaxed conversation. Case Interview was hyper specific to the sector I was applying to. But they give you time to think and be sure to explain the thought process behind every answer.
The interview lasted approximately 60 minutes and covered an introduction about myself, discussions on my past experiences, and a mini case study to assess my analytical thinking and problem-solving approach.
The entire process of smooth and I received feedback from the recruiter, and the interviews were promptly set up. I had a great conversation with all of the interviewers involved and felt like they generally cared about me and my future at PWC if I decided to join the team.
