I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Deloitte in Oct 2011
Interview
There were several sessions offered at my campus where Deloitte would present a review of their interviewing process followed by an opportunity to network and ask questions. I submitted a resume and was called to set-up an interview. The first interview was half 1:1 behavioral style with the interviewer asking me questions. I recommend responding in story format to make it more interesting. Provide examples. The second half of the interview was a mini-case involving some math and logical thinking. I was called later that evening to set-up my second round interview for the following day. The second interview had the same format as the first, but the case was more involved. This gave you an opportunity to meet several faces of the company and get a variety of perspectives to any questions you have. Confident and conversational candidates seemed to do well. You need to be able to think logically out loud during the case interview aspect so the interviewer can follow your thought process. Each part of the interview was 15 minutes.
New hires are paired with a mentor and regularly receive performance evaluations. It is a company that appears to have a strong community.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you ever been part of a team that was particularly effective? Describe.
Interview process was not fair, they said they didn’t have enough interviewers so some of the candidates had to skip the technical portion. Unclear how they fairly judged us against candidates that got to do all 3 parts.
I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Deloitte (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Recruited at school through workshops and posters, dropped resume online, two-days of interviews (they cut about half the group between day one and two). Interviews were structured as 30 minute behavioral, 30 minute case study the first day, then 45 minutes of case and behavioral the second day. Also did lots of informational interviews with current Deloitte consultants (I think 4 or 5) after I dropped my resume and before I was told I had an interview, which is not explicitly stated as part of the interview process, but I think this helped a lot in getting an interview.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Deloitte (Atlanta, GA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Submitted application online. Heard back from a recruiter couple weeks later and talked on the phone for 45 minutes about working in the public sector. Talked to another recruiter few weeks later about an opportunity in Atlanta, followed by a phone interview with a specialist on the team. Onsite interview in Atlanta: case interview with a senior manager, behavioral interview with a partner, behavioral interview on the phone with senior manager of the team. Received a contingency offer a month later. The contingency offer was based on whether or not the project will get funding from the client, which turned out it did not. Invited to talk to another team since the project I was "hired" for did not get the funding. Never heard back.
Overall, everyone I talked to was nice and professional. Deloitte is a big organization and has a lot of opportunities, but in order to be successful there, you need to network, network, and network.
Practice case interviews and use STAR technique for the behavioral interview. For the public sector, the cases are not your typical business cases, but the concepts are similar (improving efficiency, reducing cost, etc.)
They seem to gravitate towards individuals with entrepreneur spirit.
