I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Deloitte in Dec 2011
Interview
I initially applied online via an ad on Top Consultant that linked to the official website. After initial screening I was invited to an invitation only group session. This session was held in order to explain to all potential candidates the verticals and sub-dividions within deloitte and the work that they do. At this stage everyone was very professional and courteous - and I was suitably impressed, and could imagine myself working there. The next stage was supposed to be an assessment test - verbal + numeric .. and I performed well and was told that I would be carried on to the enxt stage. Its from this stage that I found communicating with the recruiters incredibly unprofessional. Most of the time they did not even have the courtesy of replying to emails even after more than a week. At one point randomly I get asked for a phone interview without any prior notice. - At this point the complete lack of interest and courtesy shown to me by Deloitte, completely put me off the whole recruitment process. And so I chose not to pursue this any further. I would like to work for an org that respects people and their time, and does not treat candidates like beggars.

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.

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.
