I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PwC (Melbourne) in Mar 2014
Interview
I had spoken to someone within the internship programs, but that was a lot earlier than when I applied for the internship. When I did do it online, the process was quite detailed and time-consuming and then took several weeks after that. Based on my conversations with others later, it would be a lot easier to do this via your campus - through attending open days/internship seminars and other networking events where big businesses such as these are there. Much more likely if you are from one of the big universities also.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you worked as part of a team to solve a problem.
Was pretty basic in a sense. The interviewers are really chill and laid back so not much pressure. The setting was quite noisy so ensure that you use a loud speaking voice and good gestures.
