Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 6 weeks)
The phone interview lasted almost 1 hour and was very detailed. But there was nothing unexpected. Alot of the information relating to the questions could be found online and on the Deloitte website. The questions asked for real life examples and explanations therefore being honest would be the best option.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
Networked at the career fair with the company. Had the first round interview on campus and made it to the second round. The second round was made up a presentation, two interviews, and lunch. The interviews were about half an hour each with a partner and a senior manager. Lunch was with a couple new associates.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 weeks)
The first interview was one to one with the person who would be the imidieate manager for the role. All in all this was a relatively relaxed conversation. Initial segment consisted of interviewer describing the consultancy devision of the company and outlining the role. This was followed by a request to discuss my CV giving details of both education and work experience. The interviewer just listned to the description for 5-10 minutes followed by some queries on specifics of technical skills used in the past i.e. (ASP.NET, C#, etc.) and asked to rate my competancy. There was a brief technical test consisting of writing some C# code on paper. Something very simple, write a method to reverse a string or something simular. This was followed with some general questions about career direction e.g.“Are you more interested in going down the project management route or the archetecture route?”
The second interview was again a one to one, this time with a company partner. This was a much more difficult interview predominiatly due to the interviewing style. Quite confrontational, I assume a technique to see how the interviewee responds to a difficult situation. The interviewer asked general questions, mostly asking for experience based descriptions of development techniques and technologies to use in different situations. “When would you use LINQ? What are the pros and cons?” This was followed by a question of what salary I expected and surprisingly a negotiation over money.
First interviewer was very interested in business skills. An understanding of the business drivers of a project or task and ability to comunicate were clearly desired for this role. The second interviewer (who I believe was a software archetect) was far more interested in technical compencity.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 weeks)
The first round interview was a computer based exercise which essentially was dealing with an inbox of emails. Work quickly, take notes and stay organised and on top of things. At the end, you need to formulate a letter of recommendation so keep that in mind while working through it.
This was followed by a 1:1 interview which was competency based. Know the skills they are looking for and have several examples for each.
The second round interview required me to prepare a short presentation on a topic given to you, related to the area you are applying for. Mine was on something I've never worked on before. I found it hard to find information. I went to a large bookshop and bought books on taxation as I couldn't find much online. Expect really hard, probing questions. I only had two days to prepare mine (due to other commitments) and felt I was terribly under-prepared. Even though I gave a good presentation, I think my inability to answer more detailed question on the topic put me down. It did feel a bit unfair though, as they were difficult questions that even my friends working in finance did not know how to answer. So I would say prepare the most for this part. Read as much as you can, really get in touch with all the people you can that know the area you are applying for and pick their brains. Following this, there were more competency based questions some that were about the same skills and some on other skills. Again, it's good to try to have more examples than you need, so you can tailor it to what you feel your interviewer is interested in.
Unfortunately I didn't proceed to the final round and even though I tried to get feedback, no one returned my calls, which made this a negative interview process overall as I didn't learn as much as I could have.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 4 weeks)
Was contacted a few weeks ago after completing a very detailed application process. A phone interview was set with the HR recruiter. It was over a week later that I heard back about a face to face interview with the hiring manager for the following week. I drove the 3+ hours from my home to meet for slightly more than an hour with the director who had also flown in from elsewhere. About a week later I was called by the recruiter who said that the senior/managing partner wanted to have a phone interview with me. A few days after arranging this, the recruiter said he partner wanted to see me face to face. I asked if this would really be necessary as I would have to take one whole day off again, and she assured me it would. Again I did the 6+ hour roundtrip for what ended up being a very informal 45 minute meeting. During the interview, he asked about my day, and I mentioned it was a nice drive from xxxxxxxx. He was genuinely shocked, and saying he was sorry as no one told him I was not local. About 1-2 weeks later I got a call from the hiring manager's administrator who set up a time for the hiring manager to call me. As I felt all had gone well, I was somewhat expecting an offer. Instead when he called, I was told that they decided to hire someone else. I told him that I did appreciate the courtesy of the phone call, and asked if he could give me any feedback or tell me what set the successful candidate apart. There was a slight hesitationbefore he told me that the person hired had worked with a system similar to theirs. It seemed like he started to say something else then stopped. I thanked him for considering me and we hung up. I was disappointed that for such a large company they did not seem to talk to pch other about the candate and process. I have over 25 years experience in my field, and have sat on both sides of the interviewing desk many times. I do believe the age disparity worked against me, as I estimate I was 15-25 years older than everyone I interviewed with. I did submit all my mileage for both round trips over (700 miles+) and they paid it without issue. Everyone was nice enough but I was disappointed with the result, the risk to my (then) current job, and the general lack of internal communication and oversight.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Mumbai (India) (took a day)
Very matured and couple of rounds of interview including an automated telephonic test (IVR) of english.
Although I was rejected in the last round of the interview (where usually people are not rejected :) ) with Sr Director but I think, I could not just handle his question in better ways.
Those were very generic & situation based questions and no technical and let me tell you, there is no right or wrong answer, it is just that, at that point how does the panel review your answer.
