Interviewed Jan 2012 in Washington, DC (took 2 weeks)
I was contacted by the recruiter via email. We set up a time to talk, and I went through an initial basic interview for 30 minutes over the phone. I was invited in to interview with a few senior managers. The interview was set up 1 on 1 style with three sr managers. After a couple days, I was invited to a final round interview. Interviewed with another senior member. Offer made about a week after.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Arlington, VA (took 4+ weeks)
I got the first interview in mid-October 2011 through my university's job board (Deloitte recruits on my campus). The first interview was on campus and actually consisted of a 30-minute behavioral interview with one Deloitte recruiter and a 30-minute consulting case study with a principal (I think-he might have been a partner or group leader or whatever they call them) at Deloitte. Both parts of the interview were relatively easy and they tried hard to make it low pressure.
The second (and final round) interview for the position was an office visit (called a Human Capital Blitz) in their Arlington, VA office. There was a presentation about the job Friday night, they put us (the other university recruits and me) up in a hotel that night, and then there was a series of 5 interviews intermixed with more presentations the next day. One interview was a group case presentation, in which four other recruits and I were given a problem and charged with solving it (while two Deloitte consultants watched) and presenting it to those same consultants. There were two more short case study interviews, and two behavioral interviews, all with different interviewers. They then sent all of the recruits home and notified us the next week whether or not they were making us offers.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Washington, DC (took a day)
There is a behavioral interview and a case study interview, each one on one with another person. The questions are a bit random in the behavioral interview, and you kind of have to be very comfortable speaking off the cuff. The case interview can be studied for somewhat through books and practice cases

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Washington, DC (took 2 days)
Resume dropped through school; interview process was standard for consulting. First round 30 min behavioral, 30 min easy case. Second round the same, but case a bit trickier and conducted by a senior partner, which might intimidate. Overall painless, the interviewers pleasant and engaging.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Arlington, VA (took 2 weeks)
Everyone that I spoke with was extremely friendly and looking to help you throughout the process. The company is team oriented and the employees seem to be pretty intelligent and generally outgoing. They want you to have a clear idea in your head going into the interview of what Deloitte is all about and why you want to be a part of that. Other firms I've interviewed for in the past weren't as concerned with that. They want you to have an idea of how you would fit in and why it is a good fit for you, so definitely be able to list a few specific examples of that.
The interview process tends to be quick. I had a phone interview over the winter holidays and heard back a day or two after that I had moved on to the final round. Then the first week in Jan I had a superday with 3 different people (2 behavioral and 1 case). I heard back from them a few days later on their decision. Even if the position is more on the technical side, the interviews are focused on behavioral type questions and how you would fit in with company culture. It is very important that you present yourself as a team player and that you talk about how you interact with your team as well as your superiors and people outside the team. Of course, think of questions about the company culture to ask for after the interview. If you are stuck on those, ask about mentorship within the company, if they pay for advanced degrees and how their internal points system works (for participating in company events and clubs).
The case study was to create a budget. You have to ask for information to complete it, so just stay calm and think through it. It isn't a complicated case since they just want to see how you reason. It's more common sense type scenario. After that they give you a situation where the client wants to cut costs and you have to go through how you would figure out what to cut. Just ask about the importance of different items and make some assumptions. As long as they are reasonable and you explain yourself, you'll be fine.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Arlington, VA (took 2 days)
Consisted of four 1 on 1 interviews which were done in two rounds. The first round was on campus and focused primarily on personality questions (describe a time). The first interviewer was really nice and laid back and seemed to really want to prepare you for the next interview. The second interview was more difficult for a couple reasons:
1. Interviewer had someone of an accent and spoke very fast. It was hard to understand the questions at times.
2. He seemed to rush through the questions and yawned all throughout as I answered his questions which I found to be rude. I'm pretty sure these were the last interviews of the day and he just wanted to leave.
3. You better know your stuff technically because he threw a lot of technical questions out there. Luckily I got most of them.
After the first round, I got an email asking me to come in for a second round which was on location. A group of us were all selected for this and we took turns being interviewed on a 1 on 1 basis. These interviews didn't seem to be as technical, but a little more in depth than before. I felt the first interview on location to be a little awkward since the person interviewing me told me they actually didn't really know what to ask me since they usually don't do them and I was asked a lot of yes/no questions which made it hard to elaborate. The second interviewer was very professional and was ready with questions, but laid back at the same time as well. Expect a callback within a week or so.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Arlington, VA (took a day)
I was set up with a very helpful phone mock interview first. The actual interview consisted of a 1/2 hour case and 1/2 hour behavioral, each with different interviewers. They didn't seem unfriendly, but neither smiled that much. The case was pretty tough. Communication before the interview was excellent.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in McLean, VA (took 1 week)
Two part interview. First part was standard "tell us about a difficulty" type questions. Second interview was a case study, with a different person. You're given just a few details of a project and asked to reflect on them with questions like "If you had to tell a company CIO three things, what would they be?"
My gut says that, had I tracked closer to describing the software development life cycle -- as a couple friends had -- I would have gotten further. But one of course never knows what people's reasons are.
