I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PwC (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2015
Interview
I have received three rounds of interviews. The first two are pure technical. It's about Monte Carlo Simulations of financial derivatives and binomial tree methods. The people are very nice and have degrees in quant field such as financial engineering and CS. They asked resume based questions and my programming skills.
Everyone was very welcoming and the process was quite straightforward. I could even choose my location at the end. The interviews happened online and were conducted in German. I appreciate the quick feedback.
Technical questions were not like other technical interviews. They give you answers as options to pick from instead of you coming up with and presenting your answer like you would normally

Question 1
Technical questions were not like other technical interviews. Gave answers as options to pick from.
Strength based interview, approx. 30 mins. The interviewers were friendly and approachable, as were the entire Talent team. Walked through my CV, general "why us, why you, why this team" questions. Felt like they really wanted to get to know you and how you would fit into the culture.
