Interviewed Mar 2011 in Washington, DC (took 2 weeks)
There is a standard phone screening phase that evaluates at a high level your skills specific to the position you are being considered. This is done by a Deloitte recruiter. If you pass, you become eligible for the interview process after you complete a series of paper work. Much information will be asked of you especially if you are targeted to work on one of their government contracts. The most important info that is asked is your current salary. Be careful on how you answer this because it will be verified thru Lexis Nexis. If you misrepresent yourself, you wll not continue to the interview phase. Take note, however, that your offer from Deloitte will hinge on your current salary provided. Your offer will be around 10% more. It will be difficult to negotiate more.
Once you pass the background check, a schedule of your interview date will be given. All interviewers for the day will get a brief intro to the firm. Then you proceed to a series of 1:1 interviews, each focusing on different aspects. This can go in any order since the interviewers rotate thru the candidates. One interviewer will focus on your technical skills to the job or field you are being evaluated for. Another will give situational, case-study like questions. This interviewer will give a situation and after you provide a solution, will throw a monkey wrench by changing one of the parameters and will see how you react/ cope to the change. Third interviewer would be the most senior of the 3 and will evaluate if you "fit" the firm. You will be asked seemingly innocuous questions like 'what do you like to do?', 'what motivates you?', and the sort. Take care in your answers, don't give cookie cutter answers like Ms. Universe contestants give. Be sincere but don't oversell. Remember it's a very senior person doing this part of the interview, so they'll see thru the insincere responses.
The 3 interviewers will ask if you have any questions and encourage you to do so. However, any questions about salary willbe deflected since none of the 3 interviewers have a say. The person that you will need to speak to is the actual phone recruiter. I think the recruiter also has little decision power since I'm sure they follow a set formula (like +10% From current salary max). So depending on position and current salary, you will hit a ceiling.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Hard to negotiate since there is a formula being used which the recruiter cannot deviate from. So depending on position considered for and current salary, a given max salary can be offered. I think that ~85k is max for a mgmt consultant.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Personality Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took 3 weeks)
My first interview with Deloitte was an initial phone interview with HR about why I was interested in Deloitte, consulting, etc. The second round of interviews was 2 1:1 45-minute phone interviews. The first 45 minute interview was an over the phone case study. Not too bad nothing unexpected came up. The second 45 minute interview was a behavioral interview (always stress the benefits of diversity in the workplace, show that you can handle potential issues that commonly arise in the work-place, talk about how you work well with people, and be able to give EXAMPLES for ALL of these types of questions. Last interview was with a partner and director at the firm. Overall good experience up until that point, but after trying to contact HR as to why I didn't make the cut, I couldn't get a hold of them. Go figure.

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!

I negotiated to near the top salary for my grade. It was comfortable, but I couldn't convince them to make me a Senior Manager.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
Deloitte got back to me pretty soon after I submitted my application to schedule an interview. I only had first rounds which consisted of two 1-to-1 hour-long back-to-back interviews. These interviews included both behavioural and case-based (so make sure you brush up your case interview skills).
The work culture seemed easy-going and the candidates got to interact with some consultants as they waited for their interviews. The consultants were really down-to-earth, friendly people. Definitely a great lot to work with.

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.

Interviewed May 2010 in New York, NY (took 4 weeks)
Initial screening call with HR, followed by phone interview with SM which was resume / experience based. In person interviews at the local office consisted of 3 rounds (1 P, 2 SMs), which were a mix of industry experience, skills testing, fit/personality and a case. Final phone interview with P to go over specific skills highlighted on resume and in previous conversations to demonstrate well roundedness, and depth of industry knowledge in order to add value to the practice.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 1+ week)
1. Phone screen of general experience - conversational style
2. Phone interview with behavioral based questions regarding past experience. Best to use S.T.A.R. method
3. In-office 1:1 and panel interviews on same day (1/2 day process)
Panel interviews with probable peers in specific group to be aligned - more behavioral based interviews
1:1 with Sr. Management, Principal level - more conversational
Office is professional, people are dressed well and well-educated. Many traveling employees, so not always the same population in the office.

Interviewed May 2008 (took 2 days)
1st round consisted of 2 interviews, both with a "mini case" and a behavioral element. The interviews were 1 on 1 and were quite standard case interviews and standard behavioral questions. The 2nd round consisted of a 2:1 interview which lasted an hour. The case had a strong accounting and finance element to it.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in New York, NY (took 5 days)
I applied to the position through the company's web site. Submitted my resume and a cover letter. Since this was a consultancy job I outlined all my previous consulting projects in detail. I got a phone call a week later and a lady from HR department asked few questions regarding my application and verified the information I submitted and made a schedule for personal interview at the office. The day of the interview I met 3 persons. One of them was a consulting partner, then a senior manager and a person from HR department. They said they'll call me. They called me in 3 days and made an offer. I accepted it
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
They asked for my salary and other expectations during the interview. Upon receiving the offer I did not negotiate and accepted the offer. I would advice others to ask before hand for the health insurance, bonuses, other fringe benefits, etc.
