I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Deloitte (Ciudad de Mexico) in Feb 2010
Interview
Following a cv screening I had a quick typical phone fit-interview with HR. A couple of days after I had 2 30-minutes phone interviews with 2 managers. Straightforward questions based on your resume and experience. 1 brain teaser and case problem each.
Next week I was invited to an assessment day. We were teamed with other candidates to work on a case and presentation. We also had a 5 round interviews with managers, 45 minutes each where we had cases and resume questions, why Deloitte, etc. After that I was invited for a final interview with a firm partner. This was a 20 minute phone interview with typical recruitment questions (leadership moment, why this firm, whats your biggest assset for the firm, etc.). Overall brain teasers are not that difficult, although you get pressure to give a quick response.

Question 1
How much toilet paper would you need to cover the entire X state?
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.

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.
