I applied through university. I interviewed at Deloitte
Interview
Standard case interview, easily google-able online. Be structured and speak clearly/slowly. Like any other consulting interview, they want to see how you think. It's about the journey, not destination.
Be prepared with STAR method questions for the behavioral interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk about a time when you convinced your team to change their behavior or decision-making.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Deloitte
Interview
For Consultant - S&O at Deloitte US India
Company recruiter approached me through LinkedIn and asked for 1 pager resume. After he got it approved, he went ahead and scheduled the process as detailed below:
1. Telephonic Round with a Manager: Started with about myself, work that I have done and basic stuff. Then he gave a mini-case: a US based bank is having issues with profitability, what are the factors you would consider to come up with the solution? He wanted only the headings, no analysis, no solution! Typical Answer: External(Economy, Industry) vs Internal(Revenues, Cost). Next was a simple maths problem on breakeven analysis. Duration: 25 minutes
A week after this, recruiter informed me about the positive feedback. Scheduling for the next round got delayed due to various factors.
2. In-person round with a Senior Manager & Manager: Basic chit chat for 5 minutes and then we got down for detailed case analysis. I was given 2 back to back cases(actual projects that they had worked on):
i) A food supplies distributor looking to improve profitability
ii) A bank looking to reduce the headcount
Went well, made a couple of mistakes, however the interviewers were very helpful and I didn't feel uncomfortable for a minute. It was more of a discussion with me doing most of the talking. :) Duration:~1.25 hours
3. Partner round: Held later over phone call. Typical questions about previous work ex, how will you be successful at Deloitte, skills/strengths, how do you add value to your clients, examples etc. Duration: 25 minutes

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Deloitte (Nairobi) in Jul 2019
Interview
I submitted my application 3 months before I got a call for a case interview. The interviewers were quite relaxed and the case study was not that complex simple but tricky hypothesis. It took around one and a half hours including the introductory, recommendations and conclusion remarks.
