For the internship, there was an extensive recruiting process, which consisted of going to various speaking/career events held by the firm on campus. Everyone I met during these events were friendly and happy to answer all the questions I had. Through the campus website and the PwC website, we submitted all our information, resume, and cover letter, which was looked at and interviews were given to a portion of the candidates. There were two rounds of interviews. Since I was in LA, I had a first round interview on the phone with a recruiter, which consisted of mainly behavioral questions, such as why I was interested in that firm, that particular department, and accounting in general. The second round of interviews was in the SF office, the office I applied for, where I was interviewed by three other individuals (manager, director, and partner). This round of interviews were more conversational, allowing them to get to know me as a person, see if I would make a good fit for the group/company, and show me a bit of what their work environment and culture is like.

Interview process was very straightforward and went well! There was one scenario-based interview and one behavioral interview. 30-minutes each, back-to-back. I interviewed with a Director and and Partner and they were both super friendly and kind. The interview questions were somewhat challenging but nothing beyond what you would expect. The interview experience was somewhat casual and didn't really feel like you were being interviewed.
