Very straightforward, partners & senior managers were friendly and asked expected technical questions. Key thing to stand out is to really research the company and how the grad programme works - focus on exactly what you will do in assurance, what the role would look like and also some basic accounting understanding.

Average interview
Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Hartford, CT) in Feb 2015
Interview
Applied by submitting my resume as a student. Got an email from the recruiter next day with an application link to apply for a position in my city of preference. First interview was a phone interview. I heard back from them within 2 weeks for a second round interview at the office. I was interviewed by partners, managers and senior associates. The interview was vary laid back, especially with the partner. Make sure you have questions for all the interviewers. Prepare to know about the company. It would be great if you give real life examples from your work experience.
