Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 days)
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.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Washington, DC (took a day)
Case interview was primarily interviewer led -not like MBB. Behanvioral interview was very focused on experience, tough when you wentstraight from undergrad to grad school. Inteviewer was hostile.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Washington, DC (took 3 months)
First contact with a Deloitte recruiter after I had submitted application online. Phone interview was about 30 minutes, questions were focused on education and career. Received a response within days that I could move on to the next round. Weeks of playing phone and email tag followed, as panel interview could not be scheduled for some reason. Finally, I spoke with three people (2 sr. managers, 1 manager) for about 30 minutes each. One case study with a few behavioral questions, 2 interviews with your classic set of behavioral questions. People were friendly though you could tell that you're just a number for them, as managers hurried from one interview to the next. One interviewer constantly played with her Blackberry, pointing out that you get one on company cost at Deloitte. The other interviewer was badly prepared since she had the wrong resume in front of her, which she noticed after I told her my correct name.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Declined offer, as: (1) interview process was too disorganized with meetings being scheduled and rescheduled multiple times; and (2) atmosphere at panel interview was not engaging.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 4 weeks)
Many unofficial events to interact and meet Deloitte practitioners. Although they may be happy hours, info sessions, etc. I would consider them informal interviews to see if you would be a good cultural fit for their organization. Informal Culture tests: 3+ events to interact with practitioners on/near campus. Typically HR is present at all the functions. Formal interviews: 1st round (2 back to back, behavioral and case with managers). 2nd round with partner (case + conversation).
Great people, great culture.

Reason for Declining
Compensation was average for federal consulting. (MBA applicant). Had other offers with better compensation package. All else equal (compensation-wise), or less than 5% difference, I would have chosen Deloitte for culture, learning opportunity, etc.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Washington, DC (took 2 days)
I submitted my resume and within the week I got an e-mail for a phone interview (which was also conducted within the week). The phone interview lasted about 15 minutes, and I only did fair, but a few days later I got offered to by flown to DC for the final interview. Two 30-45 minutes interviews (one case study one personality) and one shorter 15 minute interview. I left thinking I did decent, but didn't get the job. However, the entire process ended up being really fun and everyone was extremely nice and supportive--even though I was super-nervous.
