the process is in 3 parts
Recruiter screens for fitment and then pases onto Sr Recruiter/Manager, who basically asks same / similar questions to detemine skills, exp, level, salary expectation etc. etc. the familiar recruiter questions, although not sure why there are 2 seperate rounds
Once the recruiter clears, someone from the practice does a phone screen and provides feedback for next round of interviews...in my case a Sr Manager spoke to me and it was a short 20-25 mins interview, he must have realized I have good quals and did not probe much, but was very helpfull in answering my queries and giving advice on what Deloitte looks for in a Sr Manager
I was then called for an in person interview at a Deloitte office. they pay for hotel and travel. I met 3 ppl, one after the other, almost back to back. The first one was a Partner, who seemed more interested in knowing how we were running our practice and if we were doing any unique things, some general questions about the expereince and the teams I have managed etc etc. again what i would call a light weight interview...
Then I met a Manager and after that a Sr Manager. again interviewers concentrated on general expereince, aspirations, role description etc. both of them were generally open about answering any questions I had.
Overall the process was smooth, good exp, but I felt the interviews were not very tough, they did not test my SME knowledge too much, more superficial.
After the in person interviews were over, the recruiter called me next day, and asked me what was my expectation in terms of compenation and told me that generally comp discussion happens at the begining but in my case it did not. We disagreed on the role, she said I should join at manager level and then work my way up to Sr Manager. I said NO. end of story, never heard back from her, no official communication or update on the final status if Deloitte would make or not make an offer. I guess she realized I will not accept a Manager role and hence dropped my case.
I don't know if I should have asked for a formal offer, even if it was for a manager role and then declined. eitherways I wasn't going to accept.
I hope this helps.
