I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Deloitte (London, England) in Apr 2010
Interview
The first interaction was with the recruitment team. I got a call from the human resources team and was asked to give my salary expectations, other places I had applied to.
The first interview was a face to face one with a senior consultant. The questions were
1) What are you doing now?
2) What are the 5 things that are challenging the industry
3) What are the root cause analysis tools
4) Explain how you used any of these tools in a project
5) A CEO asks you to help out with a specific problem. How would you go about it?
6) Why Deloitte
7) Can you explain a process in the the client industry
8) why dont you look for something in the software consulting division of deloitte
My impressions were that the consultant was extremely good at asking probing questions and asessing the skills objectively
Susequently, i was scheduled for the next stage which consisted of 2 interviews, one with a manager and another with a partner. Prior to the manager interview, i was given a case and was asked to write a communication based on the facts of the case explaining key features of a new system to all employees. I was also given another case to analyze and make recommendations on a flip chart. The manager asked me questions on the case.
I was also asked how i would use my specific skills, and what i thought of a recent merger in the industry and what were the challenges facing the industry. I was aslo asked if i had any questions
This was followed by the partner interview where he introduced himself, asked me about my biggest achievement, challenges facing the industry, what was my experience in the industry and if i had any questions
The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Deloitte (Washington, DC) in Jun 2010
Interview
I was a referral from a current employee. First an HR Recruiter from the company contacts you and then asks about basic requirements: salary range, why Deloitte, why your interest in the position, etc. Next they send you to a specific Practice which has the need and a manager from that practice reaches you on a phone interview. This is both a screening as well as a Q&A for you to learn more about the position and the practice. If this screening goes well, then the next step is a half-day of face-to-face interviews within the practice.
