Interview Details –
The interviews were held in the career center on campus. Both interviews were 30 minutes long.
The first interview was with a Audit Manager from Houston, whom I had met at the pre-interview dinner the night before. He asked me some softball questions about my resume, then asked me why I liked Deloitte over the other Big4. I talked about the people I had met from Deloitte, and the commitment to education that the building of Deloitte University impressed upon me. We went slightly over time, so I had to hustle to my next interview.
The second interview was with a Houston Audit partner. He apologized for being unable to make it to the pre-interview dinner. I was again asked "Why Deloitte?", and gave a similar but lengthier answer. He asked me about my current job, and how my customer relations now could help me with client relations in the future. He seemed impressed with my scholastic achievements and the fact that I already possess one degree. (Accounting is my second.)
They got back to me two days later. I did not get a second interview.
They took fewer people than they said they were going to. The extremely outgoing people, who I assumed would move to the second round, did. My interview skills were a little rusty at the time I had this interview, and I was interviewed by people not from the office I would be working at; both factors may have contributed to the negative outcome.
Overall they tried hard to put you at ease, and it was not an extremely stressful process, although I was pretty nervous. (After all, it WAS Big4.)
They have you fill out multiple online applications, increasing in scope and detail, which seems a little excessive.

Interview Details – Gatekeeper discussion with HR recruiting, forward to the hiring manager, three discussions (one hour each) with the hiring team. Once your resume is picked up and you get a discussion with the hiring manager, you are probably 75% of the way there based on your experience. The discussions with the team that is hiring center around your specific education and experience -- but also 'can you work with the team'.
Interview Question – My interview was straightforward; the usual good/bad of your resume and what you did to learn/change from them. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – If you have specific needs, like school reimbursement, be upfront about it and get it in writing. This saved me $10k: the recruiter said they had tuition assistance for everyone, available the first year, I followed up with an email saying this was key for my acceptance decision, once I was onboard I found out tuition assistance is not available for 2-years plus a host of other requirements, but through the email confirmation I was eligible.

Interview Details – There was a one-to-one behavior interview and a one-to-one case interview. Both interviewees were very nice. Deloitte would intentionally arrange an interviewee who had the same background to you. For example, my case interviewee and me graduated from the same School. In the case interview, I was asked a case about making timeline for a new project. In the behavior interview, we talked about my projects and social work experience. I passed these two interviews but failed in the second round interview at next day.
Interview Question – He asked a very advanced question in database which I did not understand until now Answer Question

Interview Details – Came in through an acquistion. If this applies to you, beware. read the comments of those who also did. If I'd INTERVIEWED for Deloitte, there would have been no second interview, and no offer. It wasn't a match. Deloitte will buy attractive companies, and expect employees to adapt to their jack-booted thug extortionist work-life balance/firm contribution expectations.
Interview Question – They use the standard business case process; give you a hypothetical client challenge and want to see how you think. If you are good, they'll throw a weird twist at you as a second round; "Okay, those are great approaches. What if in the third week of your proposed 'phase three' your client champion dies?" Answer Question
Negotiation Details –
Offer.
"That's not enough, that is what I make now. I'm interviewing for a $5k-7k increase, and getting offers in that range." "That is the Deloitte offer based on our broad knowledge of the industry and your role."

Interview Details –
Applied through Deloitte's experienced hire website and got an interview call in the next few days. Initially one phone interview was scheduled with a Senior Manager and a staff person in which questions were asked around my background, knowledge about the position, required skill set (statistical, reporting and data querying tools). I received a call about the next steps in a week and was informed about the on-site interviews. Recruiter was very helpful and provided information about the interview process, what to expect and other guidelines. I found it to be very helpful as I was aware of the process.
I was scheduled to take 3 on-site interviews (2 Senior Managers, 1 Partner) which revolved around 3 main aspects: visualization tools, workforce analytics and consulting skills. All my interviews went well and I was able to answer all their questions and highlight how I can add value. The interviewers were very friendly and all the questions asked were situation related; not very technical.
I got the result in one week, and learned that they didnt move forward with my profile.

Interview Details –
The interview process was good and efficiently run. I felt prepared and well informed throughout the process.
The trouble came with my case interview. I was given a very quant heavy case and I had very little quant experience. My interviewer had a different name than who I was scheduled to meet with. Honestly I think I was given the wrong case. I failed to say anything and struggled through the case. Don't make the same mistake.
Interview Question – The fact that my case was poorly run and a question way out of my level of experience. Answer Question
