Interviewed Jan 2012 in Baltimore, MD (took 2 weeks)
I received an employee referral after expressing interest in the position to the individual, and received a call from the recruiter a couple of weeks later. This covered the basics: where I'm at in my career, what I would like to do in the future, and my level of interest, etc.
My onsite interviews were scheduled around two weeks later, and consisted of 4 back-to-back interviewers of various levels of seniority. The first interviewer first administered a case interview and then asked behavioral questions. The other interviewers asked primarily resume-based or behavioral questions, and it seemed that "fit" with the firm was a very big focus.
The fourth interviewer was the most senior and asked the most pointed questions; I was less sure of my performance in this interview but still felt good overall. All of the interviewers put me at ease and offered opportunities to ask questions; I took full advantage of this, and was able to determine that the position and firm were a good fit for me.
Shortly after the first round I received an email inviting me to a second round interview with an individual in a different area of the practice. This was conducted over the phone and consisted of resume-based and behavioral questions.
The following week I received a call from the recruiter to discuss a possible offer, and after roughly a week of negotiating on compensation and location I received a formal offer. Based on the interviews and outside sources I believe the firm is a good fit, and the salary offer was acceptable, especially with a good bonus included.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Baltimore, MD (took 2 months)
Very straightforward. First phone interview with a recruiter, then an informal interview with two directors separately, then a typical consulting "case study" interview.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Negotiation was discouraged. I tried and failed, because the recruiter told me this was the best I would get in this economy.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 weeks)
Very smooth interview process with speedy email replies and call backs. I found out about the Consultant position on campus and applied. They were interviewing for 1-2 opening. (Don't be afraid to ask them how many openings there are.) We were only required to provide a resume (nice!). I received a first round phone interview and a subsequent second round in person/at the LA office 2-case interview.
The first round behavioral interview consisted of questions like:
1. Talk about 3 strengths and 3 weaknesses of yours.
2. How do you work in a team?
3. Talk about a situation where you and your manager didn't see eye to eye.
4. Talk about a situation where you had to take a leadership role in a team.
5. Why consulting? Why Deloitte?
Was called back 2 hours after my interview to set up a second round interview.
The second round case interviews consisted of 1-30 minute case and 1-45 minute case where I was asked profit maximization questions for a made-up company and asked to perform several easy calculations.
In preparing for the case interviews definitely prepare for the SET UP of how you would approach a profit maximization question so you can clearly outline your thoughts. Act confident above all else. If the interviewer corrects you, let them correct you, they probably know more than you. Time flies by.
Was called back 1 business day later (these in-house interviews are scheduled mainly on Fridays) that I didn't get the job.
Overall good experience with the recruiter and interviewers. I wouldn't apply again since it's a tiring process, but can't say it was a bad experience. Deloitte is a well-oiled machine.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 days)
Deloitte loves the case interview method, assuming that your ability to come up with an answer quickly carries over to real world consulting situations. The basic format is 30 minutes behavioral and 30 minutes case interviewing. I think a common mistake people make, to include myself, is to focus more on the case interview than the behavioral part. With public sector consulting this is a definite mistake because the case will not have ANY math and will instead deal with strategy, which is generally less troubling for people.
