I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (London, England) in Jan 2013
Interview
The process is straight forward: psychometric tests (numerical and logical reasoning) and a personality test. The phone interview was a classic case with a number of general competency questions (leadership, teamwork etc). The only thing to keep an eye out is the question that assesses whether or not you are following PwC in the news (be as detailed as possible - use FT or the Economist).
