I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC
Interview
The interview was pretty straight forward aside from the fact that they asked me all questions at once instead of one by one. I understand that it was my first interview but it left a bad taste and overall disdain for the company hiring process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you know of the company, What are your experiences. Why should we take you for this job. What can you bring to the company. There are more but I do not remember them from the stress. All the question were asked at once.
Made it to a case round where they asked fairly basic questions about a business case and what I would do with new data. Pretty standard for consulting interviews, nothing unexpected.

Question 1
Given this new data for the business case we gave you, how would you update your recommendations?
Online test and then in person interview. The online tests were faily standard. Interview process followed why pwc and why the role etc . They then asked if I wanted to ask them anything and I could tell that they were interested to see if I'd researched the role and company and had applicable questions.
