I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Deloitte (New York, NY) in Jul 2010
Interview
I had first round Telephone with HR with very General questions Why deloitte Etc.
3 days later, i had a phone interview with a Manager who asked me technical questions about my past work and SDLC knowledge
A week later i was flown to Chicago for an interview with 2 partners and one Senior Manager
All 3 very straight forward and made me comfortable.Asked about my background , they skipped the case study for me becuase they liked my background and past work in Software Development and industry knowledge in health care. All in all the interview only took 3 hours ( roughly 30 mins with each with breaks in between)
One major thing that the interviewers look for is the fit with the firm ( are you ok to travel? pleasant personality, team player Etc.)
I got the offer by phone the very next day

Other Senior Consultant Interview Reviews for Deloitte
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.
