I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Deloitte in Jul 2018
Interview
Fairly straightforward process up until a point. I was reached out by Deloitte for a specific role. The coordinator arranged my initial screen with the HR director. Then I was interviewed by a sr. manager and after that it would be a panel of interviewers. Everything went great and all interviews went smoothly with everyone giving the thumbs up and basically telling me it is in the bag. However, I was never called to the final interview 2 days after my last one. I waited a week before I communicated with them to find out what happened as I was assured I was moving forward. The reason? I was told by the HR director that I had to call them after my interview to declare interest (! I guess saying so repeatedly did not count). So, that is why they left me out of the process and basically disqualified a very strong candidate (their words...).
What matters is this : it is who you know. You might be the best fit, if you do not know the right people they will toy with you, your career and your time. Be warned.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you deal with your colleagues in a certain scenario. More behavioral than anything else.
Thorough with good communication throughout the process. I first had a phone call with an initial screener. Then the hiring director, VP and MD. A few rounds. very standard questions. Usual prep required.
Clear interview process. Steps well explained. Candidate required to present a business case which felt a bit like providing free consulting. They were very good on p[roviding feedback ion interview performance and also getting back to candidate within the timescale they had promised

Initial interview was with an internal recruiter. Discussed my expectations in terms of role and salary. Went through my experience. Unclear about next steps, especially timelines.
