Deloitte working experiences
Discussion
Hi
Does anyone here work for Deloitte as a senior consultant or associate director at all, preferably in the strategy division?
I have managed to secure an interview , but due to annual leave amongst assoc. directors and senior consultants it's being delayed slightly, so I am having a competency based telephone interview with a senior on Monday
I have read a lot about what to expect from the interview process, being harder to get into than Harvard (<2% success rate), etc... which doesn't worry me as I currently work for an organisation with <0.5% success rate of applicants but am more interested in the culture, values, opportunities, etc...
Any advice or experiences shared here of via PM would be great fully received and the latter treated in the strictest of confidence

Haven't worked for Deloitte but have with pwc, ibm, Capgemini.
Whenever I used to interview it was part comptence, but many have that, and a lot about having a spark, being conversant without waffling, offering an opinion, having examples and proof points, basically being engaging. Understand why you want to join, if there's a technical angle then have an opinion on why it matters and what doesn't, something like not agreeing with block chain being a business topic as business probably thinks IT can already do that, what the impact of new regulations light mean if you have a sector focus, GDPR coming in next year and how that might disrupt business.. be able to talk about past work and insightful as to what happened, talk about outcomes as much as activities, i.e. Helped a retailer look at multichannel outlets, looking to increase turnover by 20% but the GP increased by 5 points. The issue was third party suppliers protecting their interests.. blah... why you do things is more important than what you do the more senior the role. Even a junior tole should understand what the objectives are of what they've been doing.
Then think about.. what happens if you disagree with what you've been asked to do..
Examples of poor assignments, and why (could be a failed project), the detail probably won't matter, the lack of self assessment and learning from it will..
