Deloitte Senior Associate Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I had almost the whole afternoon interviewing with 5 people. HR, Director, 2 senior managers, and a partner. It was pretty intense. First I met with HR and she took me to a conference room then one by one I meet the others. The people are very nice and done lots of talking too.

Interview Details – I gave my resume to a guy who worked at Deloitte. He gave my resume to his Partner, who in turn contacted the Recruiter to schedule a telephone interview. The Deloitte recruiter was very pleasant. I had a telephone interview with her, and then I was called in to the Washington office to interview seperately with four individuals - one Sr. Associate, one Manager, one Director, and one Partner. Each interview lasted an hour, and the questions were all focused on my work history and skill set. And they also told me about the position and the client I would be working for. After that I was called in again for another interview with a different another Partner, which went very well. I received an offer a few days later.

Negotiation Details – I attempted to negotiate a higher salary, but Deloitte said no. I think there is more room for salary negotiation at a higher professional level.

Interview Details – I submitted my resume through an employee which sped up the process. I then received a call from a recruiter and thing were pretty straight forward. I had an initial call with the recruiter followed by 3 calls (one per week) with other managers on the team. The questions were fair, asking about my background and what I would bring to the team. Overall the interview questions were pretty standard, no curve balls about how many cats are in NYC bs.

Negotiation Details – Terrible negotiation process. My recruiter was a major penny pinching moron. I felt like they wanted to impress their managers by hiring a candidate for as little money as possible. They tried to low ball me and the salary negotiation went on for a few days before we came to an agreement. The recruiter kept telling me that "I was all about the money" which I found ironic because Deloitte in itself is all about the money and here they were crying over offering me market value yet they try to brag of how great their health benefits were thus why my salary should be lower because of it. Fyi, Deloitte's health benefits are okay, nothing like Google or Microsoft so they need not make it out like they're on a pedestal for it.

My advice, stay firm in what you feel you're worth because your salary is tied to your title. Also, bonus are salary increases aren't very high so it's better to be tough in your initial negotiation b/c you won't be receiving a big salary hike anytime soon unless you're in Consulting and even then it's not that much.

Interview Details – Spoke to the recruiter a few times by phone, then had phone interview with a manager. Then went into the office and met with recruiter, then was interviewed by two client service professionals and a security representative. Later had phone interview with partner. HR then contacted me a few days later to extend an offer.

Interview Details – 1st round - one case and one behavioral interview; on campus through career services at my school
2nd round - 2 case interviews and two behavioral interviews, on location in the office that I ended up accepting an offer from.

The first round case was "command and control" and was also very open ended. It was not similar to the cases given by BCG, McKinsey, Booz, etc.. If you are coming from a school where Deloitte recruits, definitely talk to alums or seniors who interviewed there.

The second round cases were much more similar to the cases that I was given by other firms.

My ultimate impression was that Deloitte cared more about fit with the firm than case performance compared to other firms (although case interview performance was definitely important!).

Negotiation Details – It was my highest paying offer, so I didn't try to negotiate a higher salary.

Interview Details – 3 rounds of interview - Incubator, one on one with the US Senior Management and HR interview.

Negotiation Details – Negotiate hard based on industry standards.

Interview Details – Applied in reply to internet posting. Got interview call, 3 face to face interview
