Initial comms Came through a recruitment company but once I'd sent over CV and filled out part of the online application I was contacted within about 1-2 weeks First interview This was with a Manager in one of the Deloitte London offices and was mostly competency based. Normal sorts questions were asked about why Deloitte, why consulting, times when you were under pressure to deliver, do you mind travelling, have you ever led a team and how did you manage them. They pulled out a couple of things off my CV too and also asked me 'What are the three upcoming themes in customer experience at the moment?' She was really friendly and I enjoyed talking with her. Assessment centre Took about 2-3 weeks to get this scheduled in and then was given fairly short notice to attend one. Here's how the day ran for me (varied by person): - 30 mins about Deloitte - 1 hour prep for a presentation/Q&A - I was given about 15-20 pieces of paper with information about a made up company. Your task was to basically take out the key info and present back - Partner interview - quite a different interview, lots of conversation and not many questions but not too intense (I hear this varies though depending on the partner) - Written exercise - given a presentation about another made up company and was told that as consultants we had to summarise, in 2 pages, the status of a project to the European directors of a company. really hard to manage time but as long as you are succinct it's not too bad. - Presentation - Presented back earlier info and then had a few questions after with a manager. Quite standard and gave me opportunity to ask questions - Break followed by Group exercise - prioritise series of tasks - quite intense with a lot of moral dilemmas as part of the exercise. 4 days before offer came through.
