I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Deloitte in Dec 2011
Interview
I initially applied online via an ad on Top Consultant that linked to the official website. After initial screening I was invited to an invitation only group session. This session was held in order to explain to all potential candidates the verticals and sub-dividions within deloitte and the work that they do. At this stage everyone was very professional and courteous - and I was suitably impressed, and could imagine myself working there. The next stage was supposed to be an assessment test - verbal + numeric .. and I performed well and was told that I would be carried on to the enxt stage. Its from this stage that I found communicating with the recruiters incredibly unprofessional. Most of the time they did not even have the courtesy of replying to emails even after more than a week. At one point randomly I get asked for a phone interview without any prior notice. - At this point the complete lack of interest and courtesy shown to me by Deloitte, completely put me off the whole recruitment process. And so I chose not to pursue this any further. I would like to work for an org that respects people and their time, and does not treat candidates like beggars.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Deloitte (Columbus, OH)
Interview
There was an initial screening followed by two rounds of 4 virtual interviews (8 total). I began the process in early March and it closed in mid June. I was disappointed in the level of communication by the recruiters. For example, for the second round of interviews I was told they were all behavioral but one was a case study on a very niche industry. I was not prepared and ended up winging it. Overall, the process seemed rather disorganized. Interviewers were often late to the calls. One of the interviewers was distracted the whole time. I had to set up two separate online portals. The fact I had to interview 8 different times just to get a “no” seems ridiculous. I expected better from an organization like Deloitte.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked a lot of the typical behavioral questions you’d expect. Two of my interviews were case studies.
- Intro of both sides incl. CV presentation
- briefly cultural fit questions like how I like to work with colleagues
- case interview testing structured approach and critical thinking
The process was very structured, beginning with managers, before progressing to a final interview with the partner. The first stages were more analytical, with the final interview being less formal, where it appeared the partner was seeking to finalise the recruitment process.
