Interviewed Jan 2010 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
Hiring process is faily simple for first year staff. They dont expect you to know much especially if your coming into Tax..... More about personality and are you a good fit. Questions were more about Why us? and Why U, type questions. Phone interview, then 1:1, then another 1;2 with Northeast Tax Director then offer

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
I was very excited and lucky to have this experience; Deloitte is my first-choice firm and the one with the group of people I was looking forward to learning from. I would say I networked very thoroughly before I received my offer, and that was the only way I could have received it. Recruitment doesn't take place on my campus, so I relied on my personal contacts and chance encounters with the firm, building connections and relationships through them. I think they were really impressed with me, they offered me the position immediately. I worked hard to get to that final interview and was honest and genuine in my interview answers and demeanor. One area that I think Deloitte stands out in is maintaining an environment where I will always be challenged and driven. I am looking forward to it! I felt that my possible path at the other Big 4 I considered joining would have been a little smoother and slightly easier, so I took a strange leap of faith and decided to push myself. I met people from multiple Deloitte offices (same region) and personalities/vibes slightly vary, but ultimately Deloitte seems to be a group of very hard-working, extremely intelligent, and fun-loving professionals.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I chose not to - Deloitte just had layoffs in Tax and my mentor said it wouldn't be in my best interest/light to bring it up. I trust that person fully so I didn't. My other offer from another firm was significantly larger, but my gut told me to go with Deloitte. My advice is to follow your gut, and your heart (hopefully they align).

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 6+ weeks)
This was a campus recruitment. I met people from the firm on at least two occasions before applying. I submitted a cover letter and resume through the campus application system. I received a notification the next day that I had been invited for a 1:1 on campus interview. I found it quite relaxed and easy compared to some of the other firms with which I interviewed. I met with the partner for 30 minutes and he talked for at least 10 minutes before he started asking me any questions. I felt very comfortable. I was offered an in house interview that involved three different 1:1 interviews followed by lunch with two associates. Two of the three people were easy to talk to, but the third person had a sheet of paper and was writing down my answers and asking very specific behavioral questions. I was nervous that I didn't do well on that third interview, but I was called with my offer a week later. Each person I met with made sure that I knew that the working hours would be significantly greater than 40 hours/week. I have a family, and they wanted to make sure I knew what I was in for, but one partner also told me how he has always been able to make time for his kids even at the beginning of his career.
It took 6 months from the time I was offered the position before I received my start date. I graduated in May, but my start date is October.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Houston, TX (took 3 weeks)
I was interviewed by 3 different interviewers in 30 minutes intervals. 2 of the interviews were very casual conversations where the interviewer was more concerned in getting to know me as a person than to ask behavioral or situational questions. The other conversation was very script like designed, with behavioral questions and situational questions.
