Interviewed Oct 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 weeks)
It was the standard on campus interview mostly dealing with background and generally see how you handle a social conversation. I got along great with the partner interviewing me and he even told me on the way out "Don't worry. You did great and said all the right things." Then a little over a week later I got an email telling me I didn't make it to the next round. I'm perplexed to say the least. If he was going to pay the usual "We'll call you" lip service he could have just done that and not gone as far with his compliments as he did. So I can only assume there was something else in play that I don't know about...

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 weeks)
First round is 1 on 1 campus interview with typical "fit" question such as why accounting? why tax? Tell me about a time when you work in a group and something goes wrong. 2nd round is at their office where I had 4 interviews with many people ranging from partner to director to senior manager. More behavioral type of questions. Overall experience is positive. Everyone at the office was really nice and tried to make you feel comfortable.

They asked very good open ended questions about my background without much input pulling out how much experience I have so far. Sent e-mail saying no thanks after following up a week later.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
Deloitte's HR recruiter interviewed with me over the phone, then asked me to come into the office to meet the team. I met and interviewed with four members of the Los Angeles marketing and communications team, one after another for half an hour each, so the interview time totaled 3 hours. Each person asked different questions and talked about different aspects of the department and position. I was told that they would make a decision very quickly, then send the offer to national for approval. The decision making process was delayed because they had a fierce debate about whether to hire me or a former Deloitte employee. In the end they chose the former employee, but they were very impressed with my skills.

Interviewed Sep 2008 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 days)
The first rounds of interview take place on campus, and are normally conducted by one director or manager level associate with the firm. This is normally a behavioral interview, with a light emphasis on your grades. If they do not discuss your transcript with you during the first round interview, they will definitely in the second round. The interview lasts about 45 minutes, and they notify you of your invitation into the second round via email.
If you are invited to the second round process, you will be asked to arrive at the site of the Company at 8am. While there, they will deliver a presentation to your interview group selling Deloitte. Then, you will break off and go to your first of three interviews. There, expect more behavioral questions. Be ready to defend your transcript. Get them to talk about themselves/the firm. After that, you'll go to a group panel with staff where you can ask questions about the job. You'll be out by noon.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took 3 days)
The position was in Los Angeles, CA. I had two phone interviews initially. All interviews apparently went well because a few days after my last phone interview, the H.R. person called me to set up an in-person interview in downtown Los Angeles. The phone interviews had the usual interview questions; however, the interviewers were not too friendly. The H.R. person was nice though.
The in-person interview consisted of me and two supervisors. The questions were every cliched question you can think of like "how did you resolve a conflict with a co-worker" etc. One of the interviewers was a little rude and unpleasant. Believe it or not, the interview was over 2 hrs -- you'd think I was being interviewed for the FBI - geez. Extremely corporate redtape interview process. Look very professional and be prepared for all types of questions.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 weeks)
To begin with, I was invited to the Deloitte Student Leadership Conference with about 50 other students. Over those two days, we played games in groups and did presentations for partners. After returning home, I was called back for the in-house interview at Deloitte in Downtown Los Angeles. The day was off to a horrible start because I got lost and ended up 15 minutes late. Although I got thee before the actual interviewing began, I still felt off. There were about 8 of us present and we rotated for a total of three 1 on 1 interviews. They asked questions like what are your weaknesses, auditing or tax, what is a leadership position you're proud of, etc. Then we had a panel discussion over IFRS. After that, we went to lunch with about three members of the staff with a ratio of 1:1 on interviewees to staff. Lunch was a lot more casual, they just asked about our interests. Lunch was the conclusion of the day.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took 1 week)
2 interview on campus recruiting. One case, one personal fit interview. Very easy, but no second round offered. Very generic - uninteresting case. Person questions like "what is a challenge you've faced?" or "talk about a time you worked as a team". Also, they won't give you any feedback on why they are not giving a second round which is unhelpful. They probably want you to be VERY clear about why you want to work at Deloitte, which I was not (much prefer BCG, McKinsey Bain). People there also seem quite fake.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took 1+ week)
Resume submitted via e-mail, generated calls from recruiter. Recruiter is back east and has caller ID. Phone interview lasted about 60 minutes, and generally was a resume review and background discussion. Followed by an interview with the hiring director. Hiring director interview was a discussion of the position, department and history; very little focus on resume/abilities; took about an hour.
