I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (McLean, VA) in Nov 2010
Interview
The hiring process was similar to that of all of the "Big Four" accounting firms that I interviewed with, in that it consisted of a round of on-campus interviews, followed by a second round of in-office interviews. The people that I met throughout were a wide variety of PWC employees from all levels of the corporation, and I felt like I got a better understanding of what the culture there was like than at some of the other firms where I did not get to meet as many employees.
I ultimately chose PWC because I felt that of the firms I received offers from (there were 7 of them), they had the best mixture of work ethic and being laid back. I did not speak to anyone who was not very welcoming.

What exactly do you think my average day is like at PWC?
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PwC in Jan 2009
Interview
they started with a phone interview to ask screening questions. a lot of the questions were mostly personality based questions. I met with three people and had a person walk me around to each interview. there also was a panel disscusion.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (New York, NY) in Nov 2010
Interview
I interviewed at my school first and they referred me to the New York Office. It was a whole day affair. In the morning you sit with all the other candidates in a conference room and there are 3 employers from the company that talk about their jobs within the company and then they open the floor for questions. Ask a question, you'll impress them. Then you have a mentor for the day who shows you around the office building. You have 3 interviews with different levels within the tax department. All relatively casual. At the end you go out to eat with your mentor.
