It was an okay interview session, in which it lasted for an hour. Mostly panels will ask about yourself so that they can better understand you as a person. There were only two panels which consist of Senior Manager and a Manager.
I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Boston, MA) in Sept 2013
Interview
After discussing the position with some current employees, I applied online and through my College's career portal. I was contacted by an HR representative for a phone call. The first phone call was very informal and just generally personal. About a week later, I was contacted for a second phone call with a Risk Assurance director. Similarly, these questions were informal and not terribly related to the job. About a week later I was invited to the group office visit.
I visited the office with about 40-50 other students. I had 4, 45-minute interviews. All of my interviews I essentially led myself. The interviewer asked me questions for maybe 5-10 minutes and it was my job to ask questions and navigate the conversation for the remaining half an hour. Now that I work here, I realize this is specifically done to determine social skills and the ability to hold conversation (crucial for interacting with clients) I was never asked any case based questions nor anything analytically or honestly even challenging.
The day after the group office visit, I received a phone call from my interviewing partner who offered me a position.

Question 1
What is your experience and your technical competency.
I applied via the Pwc website and they emailed me to set up a meeting. The HR lady was very helpful and friendly. After she asked a little more about me they set up a meeting with partners and director. Best interview I've had.
