I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PwC in Oct 2010
Interview
The first stage included 4 tests (Verbal, Numerical, English, Accounting). Then I had an interview with a hiring manager, she asked some general questions: about my education, about my teamwork experience, why I decided to be an auditor, why I decided to apply for PwC etc. The third stage consisted of 2 interviews: one with a recruitment manager, one with a director. The questions were similar to the second stage, there was only one or two technical questions.
Was pretty basic in a sense. The interviewers are really chill and laid back so not much pressure. The setting was quite noisy so ensure that you use a loud speaking voice and good gestures.
