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 Jul 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 5 days)
After an initial 1-2-1 interview, I was invited to an assessment day, which comprised 2 further interviews (1 partner, 1 Snr Manager), a group exercise, a case study and a presentation. I felt a bit like I was back in graduate recruitment, but I was impressed how quickly they turned everything around.
The initial screening took a long time (a month) as did the final screening, performed by an outside organisation that was fairly inflexible - not a great experience!

Interviewed Oct 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 4+ weeks)
I applied online, did psychometric tests, attended assessment centre which I passed and was then invited to first round interview. Interviewer was really nice, we chatted a lot. She asked about some of the competencies outlined on the website, adaptability, decision making etc. I had prepared examples but some of the examples were phrased in quite a specific way so my examples didn't fit. Then she asked me a lot about why deloitte, why the service line i had applied for, what did i understand it to be. There was also a group project and a case study. I thought the interview went well but I fell down on the case study, and i think that's the reason I didn't get it.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 3 weeks)
I applied for an Experienced Hire position via Deloitte’s web site. I received an email back the next day saying the liked my CV and could we arrange a first round telephone interview. An interview was arranged for the following Tuesday at 10am.
Tuesday came and no one from Deloitte called.
I emailed HR back and told them that they had not called me to carry out my first round interview.
No one responded to my email!
I called HR and asked to speak to the HR person who was meant to call me. I was transferred to the HR consultants voice mail so I left a message and asked them to respond to my email or give me a call back.
No one called or emailed me back!
I wrote a letter to them explaining how I thought the whole episode was most unprofessional and not the type of example Deloitte should be setting.
No one replied to my letter!
The whole process was a complete waste of my time and even if they do get back in contact to reschedule the interview I would decline.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 3 weeks)
2 interviews + phone interview (very short), personality tests, skills tests.
Advice: Be honest. Be yourself. They appreciate your honesty more than "the answer they want to hear". Sometimes you might feel that they want to control your answer, don't get tricked by this - answer every question truthfully. And as always, if you can back up everything you say you should do fine.

Interviewed May 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 7+ weeks)
Really friendly and helpful people, make sure you know the company and your ambitions within the company then you will be fine.
The test are vigorous but in a way it only ensure that you are working with like minded people. There are lots of friends Deloitte people that I met along the way which I could not quite say about KPMG etc.
