Interviewed Jan 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 3 weeks)
Initially had a phone interview with a recruiter then an in person interview at a Deloitte office in Chicago. I met with 3 people there of varying experience to discuss what I was looking for at Deloitte, my skills via a few written and spoken scenarios, and my experience. The case study I was given was quite difficult as it was completely out of my field; my expereince is in healthcare IT and my case study had to do with warehouse supply accounting. It was difficult for me, but I was still offered the job.
The office itself was very nice and had a great location in downtown Chicago. My interviewers also seemed to have a lot of experience and knew exactly what they were looking for.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
My current company matched the offer Deloitte provided me, Deloitte also would have required me to move to Chicago and go into the office every Friday, whereas my current job I can work from home on Fridays.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Skills Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
I had been networking with individuals for approximately one year leading up to the interview. I had contacted a number of practitioners via my school's alumni network, as well as through classmates that had interned with the company. My advice would be to run through and become as comfortable with as many cases as possible and ensure that you are able to successfully work with a group of unfamiliar people in a case situation. My perception of the people was that they were incredibly welcoming, open and friendly. They are the primary reason I was so determined to get into the firm and why I am accepting the offer.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Washington, DC (took 4 days)
Referral told me two recruiters wanted my resume the next day. I submitted it to both, interviewed with recruiters in the next week, interviewed in person with 3 people on a Friday (Partner, Sr. Manager, Recruiter) and was offered a job on Monday.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
They say "firm and final" as if they don't negotitate but if you know you are worth more and you have factual evidence that you can make them more money, they should be able to pay you more if they can sell you. I got them to add a signing bonus and increase the base pay.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in New York, NY (took 5 days)
I was interviewing for a Senior COnsultant position with Deloitte. I am a female and am recently married so I had significant aversions to extensive travel that would pull me away from my newlywed life but the economy is bad so I thought I would accept if nothing came available.
Deloitte flies you in, sets you up in a nice hotel nearby and has you show up bright and early for a half-day interview. I interviewed with 3 gentlemen. Actually - I interviews twice with Deloitte for different areas of Consulting and interviewed with 3 gentlemen as well.
Questions: 1. Name a time when you had a significant challenge on a project and how did you overcome it?
2. Recall a tough associate on your team and how did you deal with it?
3. Tell us how you gain respect and the partnership of your client.
4. What are your best skills and why?
5. What is your worst quality and how do you work against it?
6. How would your teammates describe you?
7. How do you feel about travel?
8. Tell us about your biggest project accomplishment.
9. Tell us why you want to be a consultant.
10. What do you know about "Human Capital" or "Strategy" or "fill in the blank for your area here?"
11. Tell me how you run a project.
Then one of interviewers (could be in any order) presents you with a case study where you are asked to take the problem and solve it. You can write on the whiteboard in the small office if you wish.
Case study: Oil company is bought out - tell us how you'd manage the change?
Look up other case studies on deloitte's website too - very helpful.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 4+ weeks)
There was a screening interview in the begining by a recruiter. There was a phone interview later and was selected for 1:1.
After 2 weeks had a 1:1 interview with 3 managers. I think I screwed up the last case demo interview.
I didn't get selected. But it was a quite an experience.
