I applied online. I interviewed at PwC in Nov 2015
Interview
Submit online profile, then complete online tests. Within 5 minutes of completing the online tests, was told they would not like to proceed further with my application; did excellent on the numeracy and personality sections, but only average on the logical reasoning section.
A bit curious why they don't do the tests first, if that portion is entirely automated and seems to have the bulk of the weight. Unlike other firms, I discerned no human component between your filling in profile information, CV submission and answering short questions about 'Why PwC' (i.e. you can complete the tests ASAP, and feedback is also, as mentioned, ASAP)
Other Management Consultant Associate Interview Reviews for PwC
3 rounds - behavioural is key, gotta vibe with the interviewers. Case study is a lot easier than other consulting firms, but still prep for it. It's a great firm to work for really.

Question 1
Why do you want to be a consultant, what does a consultant do in your words, why do you want to work here, what would recent colleges say about you.
Two 45 minute interviews back to back. One was behavioral, and one was a case. The behavioral one was intense, with about 12 questions. The case interview was better, it was more interviewer led. Overall, the people were really nice.
