I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Warsaw, Masovia) in Dec 2013
Interview
First I passed the tests, then was ivited to do the english test and after that I was informed (via e-mail) that I successfully passed two initial stages and now am invited for the AC which will last approx. 3,5 hours. The AC has 3 main parts :
1) The group exercises (where it is best to just be confident, cheerful and focused on what the GROUP, not YOU has to acheieve in the end of the conversation)
2) The interview with the manager...(funny part was that after 2 month of working in the company I met the manager who was interviewing me and she didn't recognise/remember me at all ))
3) The presentation (you've got approx. 20 minutes for preparation. During that time you'll have to skim more than 10 pages of the texts from diff. sources, make notes and draw some charts if you wish to , as these can be later used during the presentation. The presentation is 1:1 with the partner, whom I also met after 2 month of working for the PwC, and who, just like the manager, didn't remember me at all :) but the presentation was easy , my topic was to describe main trends in pharmaceutical industry during the last 3-5 years , based on the texts I was given. After that the partner asks you some questions regarding the presentation, or regarding you & background)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are specific areas of consulting you'd like to work in and why ?
Super straight forward, standard difficulty questions with a few requiring STAR structured responses. They also asked about my experiences both at uni and extracurricular. It was online for me and I had 2 interviewers.

DSA style questions for a data and AI role for the written potion of the interview and a case study with 10 minutes to prepare and 5 mins to go through your solution.

Also they ask behavioural questions (e.g., handling conflict, teamwork) and situational questions about your work history...
