I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Deloitte (Rosslyn, VA) in Aug 2012
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter and then phone screen for 30min. Next in-person for three 30 min interviews including a case study interview. First 2 felt like general discussion about my background and some situational questions and Deloitte fit. Last 30 min was case study interview. The case was read out to me and I have to note down. I would have done better had they given the case in a paper so that I can read and think about it for a min. Trying to grasp the important points to proceed just by listening once was very difficult and I did a very bad job of the case interview. Analysis of a situation, offering options and the thought process involved in analysis has been a part of what I do for a lot of years. Unable to do that in the case interview because of not having the case in front of me to think is very disappointing for me.
- Intro of both sides incl. CV presentation
- briefly cultural fit questions like how I like to work with colleagues
- case interview testing structured approach and critical thinking
The process was very structured, beginning with managers, before progressing to a final interview with the partner. The first stages were more analytical, with the final interview being less formal, where it appeared the partner was seeking to finalise the recruitment process.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked a technical question about the software I was an expert in. It was simple enough to rule out anyone without experience, but not stump someone with intermediate knowledge.
