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.

Positive experience
Easy interview
Application
I applied through university. I interviewed at PwC (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Perhaps it was because I was a Masters student, with the necessary 150 credits to sit for the CPA exam under my belt, but my interview contained no technical questions. We conversed normally about experiences and getting to know each other in general. I received an offer (contingent upon my successful graduation) the same day. In this context, my resume spoke for itself, though I would like to state that my Bachelors GPA was short of 3.5, so my additional educational pursuits, people skills, and diligence really carried me a long way.
