Deloitte Interview Process
The Deloitte interview process typically consists of two rounds of interview that include case interviews, a group case interview, and behavioral or fit interview questions. The entire interview process can take anywhere from one week to a few months.
Given its size, Deloitte may have a different interview process depending on the country or the office that you are interviewing for. However, the most common interview process consists of two rounds of interviews following the submission of your Deloitte resume .
- First round interviews : you will have one 30 to 45-minute behavioral interview and one or two 30 to 45-minute case interviews.
- Final round interviews : you will have a 30 to 45-minute behavioral interview, a 30 to 45-minute case interview, and a one hour group case interview
There are three important distinctions between your first round Deloitte interview and your final round Deloitte interview.
One, your interviewers will likely be more senior people at Deloitte. This means that the case interviews you receive may be a bit less structured and more qualitative in nature. The case interview may feel more like a discussion where you and the interviewer are discussing your opinions and ideas on a business problem.
Two, there will be more of an emphasis on assessing your fit with the firm. The first round interview is primarily used as a screener to determine whether or not you can solve case interviews effectively and whether or not you have the potential to be a great consultant.
Final round interviews will also continue to assess this, but interviewers will also be determining whether or not you would be a great fit with the office. Are you coachable and easy to work with? Are you collaborative? These are a few of the qualities that interviewers want to see.
Three, your interviewers may read the notes that your interviewers wrote during your Deloitte first round interview. If there was a particular area of the case interview that you struggled with, interviewers may want to test you again on it to make sure that it is not a significant weakness.
What is a Deloitte Case Interview?
A Deloitte case interview, also known as a “case” for short, is a 30 to 60-minute exercise in which you and the interviewer work together to develop a recommendation or answer to a business problem.
These business problems can be anything that real companies face:
- How can Amazon increase its profitability?
- What can Apple do to increase customer retention?
- How should Tesla price its new electric vehicle?
- Where should Disney open another Disneyland theme park?
Deloitte case interviews simulate what the consulting job will be like by placing you in a hypothetical business situation. Cases simulate real business problems that consulting firms solve for their clients. Many Deloitte case interviews are based on actual projects that interviewers have worked on.
While consulting projects typically last between 3 to 9 months, case interviews condense solving the business problem into just 30 to 45 minutes.
Deloitte case interviews can cover any industry, including retail, consumer packaged goods, financial services, energy, education, healthcare, government, and technology.
They can also cover a wide range of business situations, including entering a new market, launching a new product, acquiring a company, improving profitability, and growing revenues.
Although Deloitte case interviews cover a wide range of industries and business situations, no technical or specialized knowledge is needed. Unless you are interviewing for a consulting firm that specializes in a particular industry or function, cases are designed to be solved by someone that has general business knowledge.
Nailing your Deloitte case interviews is critical to get a job at Deloitte. There is no way to get a Deloitte job offer without passing your case interviews.
What Does a Deloitte Case Interview Assess?
Deloitte case interviews assess five different qualities or characteristics: logical and structured thinking, analytical problem solving, business acumen, communication skills, and personality and cultural fit.
1. Logical and structured thinking : Consultants need to be organized and methodical in order to work efficiently.
- Can you structure complex problems in a clear, simple way?
- Can you take tremendous amounts of information and data and identify the most important points?
- Can you use logic and reason to make appropriate conclusions?
2. Analytical problem solving : Consultants work with a tremendous amount of data and information in order to develop recommendations to complex problems.
- Can you read and interpret data well?
- Can you perform math computations smoothly and accurately?
- Can you conduct the right analyses to draw the right conclusions?
3. Business acumen : A strong business instinct helps consultants make the right decisions and develop the right recommendations.
- Do you have a basic understanding of fundamental business concepts?
- Do your conclusions and recommendations make sense from a business perspective?
4. Communication skills : Consultants need strong communication skills to collaborate with teammates and clients effectively.
- Can you communicate in a clear, concise way?
- Are you articulate in what you are saying?
5. Personality and cultural fit : Consultants spend a lot of time working closely in small teams. Having a personality and attitude that fits with the team makes the whole team work better together.
- Are you coachable and easy to work with?
- Are you pleasant to be around?
All of these five qualities can be assessed in just a 30 to 60-minute Deloitte case interview. This is what makes case interviews so effective in assessing consulting candidates.
How to Solve Deloitte Case Interviews
Deloitte case interviews are candidate-led. You will be in the driver’s seat of the case interview and will be expected to ask the right questions, probe for data, and propose each next step to solve the case.
In a Deloitte case interview, you are not assessed on whether or not you have the correct answer. Instead, Deloitte uses case interviews to assess six different qualities:
- Problem solving : Can you decompose a problem into smaller, more manageable questions?
- Analytical ability : Can you draw the right insights from data and information?
- Strategic thinking : Do you have a sharp business acumen and practical business judgment?
- Logical thinking : Are you structured, organized, and rational in the way that you think?
- Creativity : Can you generate interesting or unique ideas and solutions?
- Professional demeanor : Are you calm, confident, and articulate?
Our step-by-step guide to case interviews is presented in the video below. We highly recommend watching that video in its entirety.
On Deloitte's case interview website , they recommend taking five steps to solve a case interview:
1. Understand the issue and ask clarifying questions
The most important part of the case interview is to make sure you understand the business issue and the objective of the case. The quickest way to fail a case interview is to answer or address the wrong business problem.
Therefore, if either the business issue or objective of the case is unclear, make sure to ask clarifying questions.
2. Identify the underlying assumptions
Next, you’ll need to decompose the overall business problem into smaller, more manageable issues. Identify what would need to be true in order for you to recommend a particular course of action.
To do this, it will be helpful to put together a framework, which is a tool that helps you organize your ideas and thoughts into different categories. For a complete guide on how to create tailored and unique frameworks for each case, check out our article on case interview frameworks .
3. Summarize specific issues and findings
Afterwards, you’ll begin investigating different issues or areas of your framework. After investigating each one, it is important that you summarize the key takeaways or insights that you uncovered.
Connect these findings back to the overall business problem and explain how your findings impact your potential recommendation.
4. State your recommendations
Once you have gathered enough evidence and support for your recommendation, you will need to present your recommendation in a clear and concise way.
Start by giving a firm recommendation. Then, provide the three major reasons that support your recommendation. This should summarize most of the important findings from the case.
5. Outline next steps and the expected results or impact
After delivering a recommendation, you should propose potential next steps that you would take if you had more time or data. What would you need to know to further strengthen your recommendation or make you more confident in your answer?
You can also talk about the expected results or impact of your recommendation. This may also have implications on potential next steps, such as analyzing the risks or quantifying the financial benefits.
The Different Types of Deloitte Case Interviews
There are three different types of Deloitte case interviews, one type for each of Deloitte's consulting groups:
- Strategy & Operations : primarily focused on corporate strategy, supply-chain improvement, business model transformation, and process improvements. The work that this group does is most similar to the work that McKinsey, BCG, and Bain do
- Business Technology : primarily focused on digital strategy, delivery of information technology programs, and building tech-based solutions for clients
- Human Capital : primarily focused on organization transformation, change management, corporate learning and development, and diversity and inclusion
The type of case that you get depends on what group you are interviewing with.
For example, If you are interviewing with the Strategy & Operations group, you’ll get a strategy or operations case . You may be asked to determine whether to enter a new market, launch a new product, or make an acquisition.
If you are interviewing with the Technology group, you’ll get a technology or IT case. You may be asked to determine whether to roll out a new IT system, how to assess different technologies, or how to best coordinate an IT transformation.
If you are interviewing with the Human Capital group, you may be asked to determine the optimal organization structure, how to better incentivize employees to perform better, or how to save payroll costs.

Deloitte Case Interview Tips
Below are eight of Deloitte's case interview tips to help you improve your case interview performance.
Tip #1: Take notes
While the interviewer is providing you with the case background information, take notes on the most important pieces of information. Pay particularly close attention to the context, company, and case objective.
Tip #2: Make sure you understand the case question
Answering or addressing the wrong business problem is the quickest way to fail a case interview. The most important thing is understanding what the business issue is and what overall question you’ll be expected to answer at the end of the case.
Tip #3: Ask questions
Do not be afraid to ask questions. You will not be penalized for asking questions that are important and relevant to the case.
Great questions to ask include asking for the definition of an unfamiliar term, asking questions that clarify the objective of the issue, and asking questions to strengthen your understanding of the context or company.
Tip #4: After you develop a framework, develop an initial hypothesis
A hypothesis is an educated guess on the answer based on the data and information that you have so far. It helps guide your analysis and keeps you on the right track.
After developing a framework, try to develop a hypothesis to help you decide what area of your framework you should explore first.
Tip #5: Take time to structure your thoughts
When asked a question in a case interview, don’t always start answering immediately. Instead, take the time to process the question and develop an organized and structured way to answer it. It is acceptable to ask the interview for a brief moment to collect your thoughts.
Your answer will likely be much stronger if you give yourself time to think.
Tip #6: Present a clear, logical story for your recommendation
Remember that consultants need to convince clients to follow their proposed recommendations. Being articulate and persuasive are necessary skills for management consultants .
When you deliver your recommendation, try to make it a coherent story. This will make your recommendation easier to follow and more compelling.
Tip #7: Walk the interviewer through your thinking and explain assumptions
You do not get any points for the ideas and thinking that you do not communicate. Therefore, you should make every effort to talk through your thoughts out loud.
Walk the interviewer through what you are thinking. Explain why you have made particular decisions. State your assumptions. This makes it easier for the interviewer to provide feedback or hints to help you out.
Tip #8: Engage the interviewer in a business conversation
Remember that a case interview is a collaborative exercise. You should not be dismissing the feedback and suggestions that the interviewer provides you. They may be trying to help steer the case in the right direction or provide you with hints when you get stuck.
Treat the interviewer as your teammate and turn the case interview into a business conversation.
How to Prepare for Deloitte Case Interviews
There are seven steps to preparing for Deloitte case interviews.
1. Understand what a case interview is
The first step in preparing for Deloitte case interviews is to understand exactly what case interviews are.
When you are familiar with what case interviews are, it is important to know what a great Deloitte case interview performance looks like.
Knowing what a great Deloitte case interview performance looks like will facilitate how quickly you learn case interview strategies in the next step.
Before continuing onto the next step, you should be familiar with:
- The overall objective of a case interview
- The structure and flow of a case interview
- The types of questions you could get asked
- What a great case interview performance looks like
2. Learn the right strategies
Now that you have sufficient background knowledge, the next step in preparing for Deloitte case interviews is to learn the right strategies to build good case interview habits.
It is much more effective to learn the right case strategies the first time than to learn poor strategies and try to correct them later.
The quickest, most efficient way to learn these strategies is to go through our Comprehensive Case Interview Course .
If you prefer reading case interview prep books instead, the three I recommend are:
- The Ultimate Case Interview Workbook
- Case Interview Secrets
Hacking the Case Interview provides strategies on exactly what to do and what to say in every step of the case interview. It is a concise and straight to the point guide. I recommend this book as the first book to read for beginners.
Case Interview Secrets teaches core concepts such as the issue tree , drill-down analysis, and a hypothesis driven approach. It illustrates these concepts through stories and anecdotes. If you have read Hacking the Case Interview, I recommend also reading this book to get perspectives from a second author. Check out our full review of Case Interview Secrets .
Case in Point provides a ton of specific and complex frameworks. However, you likely won’t be using many of these in an actual case interview because many of them are overly complex and specific. If you have time, it may be useful to skim through this book. Check out our full review of Case in Point .
At the bare minimum, read either the first or second book. If you have the time, read the first two books so that you can get strategies from two different authors.
Make sure to spend sufficient time learning the right strategies before starting to practice cases. It is ineffective to practice cases if you have no idea what strategies to practice and refine.
Before moving onto the next step, you should at least have strategies for the following parts of a case interview:
- Developing unique and tailored frameworks
- Solving quantitative problems
- Answering qualitative questions
- Delivering a recommendation
3. Practice 3-5 cases by yourself
Once you have learned the right strategies, the next step in Deloitte case interview prep is to practice.
When practicing case interviews, it is usually better to practice with a case interview partner than to practice by yourself . Casing with a partner better simulates the real case interview experience.
However, when you are just starting to practice, I recommend doing the first 3 – 5 cases by yourself.
There are three reasons for this:
- You can get the hang of the case interview structure and format much more quickly working by yourself rather than having to wait to schedule a time with a partner
- There are many aspects of case interviews that you can practice without a partner, such as structuring a framework and solving quantitative problems. You can get much more practice working through these parts by yourself
- You may have difficulty finding a case interview partner if you are a complete beginner. Without having done any cases, you likely won’t know how to properly give a case or provide good feedback
4. Practice 5-10 cases with a partner
The next step in preparing for Deloitte case interviews is to case with a partner.
Casing with a partner is the best way to simulate a real case interview. There are many aspects of case interviews that you won’t be able to improve on unless you practice live with a partner.
When practicing cases with a partner, ensure you are spending enough time after cases to deliver feedback.
For a case that takes around 30 – 40 minutes, spend at least 15 – 20 minutes for feedback. Much of your learning and improvement will come from these feedback sessions.
Do not move onto the next step until you have done at least 5 – 10 cases and are beginning to feel comfortable with case interviews.
5. Practice with a former or current consultant
At this point, I highly recommend asking former or current consultants to give you a practice case. This will significantly help you prepare for case interviews.
Doing a mock case with a former or current consultant is highly advantageous because they know exactly how to run cases and give feedback. You’ll receive incredibly helpful feedback that your previous case partners likely missed.
If you feel that you are plateauing with your case partner, that is a sign you should do a mock case interview with a former or current consultant.
You can find former or current consultants among:
- People you met during the consulting recruiting process
- Your broader LinkedIn network
I would not ask a consultant that is involved with the consulting recruiting process for a case too prematurely. Although these practice cases are not evaluative, some firms will actually make note of how well you perform during the practice case.
At this point, you will have accumulated a long list of improvement areas from all of the different people you have cased with.
6. Work on your improvement areas
In this step of preparing for Deloitte case interviews, you will work on strengthening and fine-tuning your improvement areas. Examples of common improvement areas include:
- Creating a more complete and mutually exclusive framework
- Performing math calculations quicker or more smoothly
- Providing more structure to your qualitative answers
- Leading the case more proactively
- Delivering a more succinct recommendation
Try to focus on improving one thing at a time. This is much more effective than trying to improve everything at once.
For some areas, such as math, it will be better to work independently. For other areas, such as learning to proactively lead the case, it will be better to work with a case partner.
If you are looking for more cases, look at the resources listed in step four. If you are looking for specific drills or practice problems for a particular part of a case interview, check out The Ultimate Case Interview Workbook .
Do not move onto the next step until you have finished working on all of your improvement areas.
7. Stay sharp
If you have progressed this far, congratulations! You have almost finished preparing for Deloitte case interviews.
Once you feel that you have no more improvement areas to work on, the key is to not burn yourself out by doing too many unnecessary cases.
While each case that you do makes you slightly better, there is a point when doing too many cases can create case fatigue right before your interview. Case fatigue can negatively impact your interview performance.
On the other hand, you also don’t want to go weeks without having done a case. You may end up forgetting strategies or become rusty and slow.
Once you have achieved case mastery, I recommend doing no more than 2 cases per week in the weeks leading up to your interview. This ensures that you remain sharp for case interviews, but don’t have case fatigue.
How to Solve the Deloitte Group Case Interview
Deloitte is one of the few consulting firms that uses group case interviews in their final round of interviews. They conduct group case interviews because Deloitte’s work culture has a huge emphasis on teamwork and culture fit.
Here’s what to expect:
- You’ll be put into a group with 3 to 5 other candidates
- The interviewer will hand out case materials
- You’ll be given 10 minutes to review the case materials and prepare
- The group will have a discussion for 20 minutes
- During this discussion, interviewers will be observing candidates and will not interfere
- Afterwards, the interviewer will ask the group specific questions for another 20 minutes
Group case interviews can be challenging to prepare for because it is difficult to replicate the exact conditions to practice them. However, if you prepare for case interviews well, you will be in a great position to succeed in group case interviews.
Your goal in a group case interview is to add value to the group. There are six different ways that you can add value:
- Lead or facilitate the discussion : You can propose what topics to discuss, the order they should be discussed in, and how much time should be allocated towards each topic. If the group gets off track, you can bring the group’s focus back together.
- Expand upon other people’s ideas : If a group member suggests a great idea or raises a good point, build upon it and make it even better.
- Synthesize information : You can summarize information that other people have said and reconcile different viewpoints and ideas together.
- Keep track of time : You can volunteer to keep track of time and make sure that the group is on track.
- Play devil’s advocate : You can help your group develop strong ideas by testing the team’s thinking by considering potential risks or downsides of their ideas.
- Take notes: You can keep track of what other people are saying so that you can recall what has been discussed if any group members have questions.
Follow these five tips to shine during your Deloitte group case interview.
Tip #1: Treat your group members as teammates, not competition
The group case interview is not an exercise in which you are competing with others. Interviewers are trying to assess whether you would be a great teammate. Multiple people or even all people in your group can receive job offers.
Therefore, focus on adding value to the group rather than making yourself look better than your teammates.
Tip #2: Don’t speak too much, but don’t speak too little
If you speak too much, this may be seen as being too aggressive or controlling. If you speak too little, you may come off as shy or timid.
If you were to rank all of the members in your group by how much each person spoke, you would want to be roughly in the middle. This would be the perfect balance of speaking and listening.
Tip #3: Don’t interrupt or talk over your group members
Interrupting others when they are speaking is rude and disrespectful. You do not want to be inconsiderate or a jerk. Be nice and respectful to your group members.
Tip #4: Involve other people
If you observe that someone has not spoken much, ask them for their thoughts or opinions. If you notice that someone has been cut off when they were speaking, ask them to finish their thoughts after the person interrupting them has finished what they have to say.
These are easy ways to show interviewers that you are a considerate and helpful teammate.
Tip #5: Speak only if you are adding value to the group
Just because you are speaking a lot during the group case interview does not mean that you are doing well. Interviewers are not assessing you purely on the quantity of what you say. They care more about the quality.
Great teammates know when to speak and when to listen. Therefore, you should speak only if you are adding some kind of value to the group. Interviewers can tell when people are speaking for the sake of getting air time.

Deloitte Behavioral and Fit Interview Questions
In addition to case interviews, you will likely be asked a few behavioral or fit interview questions. There are ten questions that are most commonly asked.
1. Why Deloitte?
How to answer: Provide your three biggest reasons why you’re interested in working at Deloitte. You could mention that you loved the people that you have met from Deloitte so far. You can talk about Deloitte’s massive global presence, their expertise in nearly any industry or function, or their professional development opportunities.
2. Why consulting?
How to answer: Again, provide three reasons for why you’re interested in consulting. You could mention the fast career progression opportunities, the learning opportunities to develop soft and hard skills, or the level of impact that you can make right away in consulting.
3. Walk me through your resume.
How to answer: Provide a concise summary of your work experience, starting with the most recent. Focus on emphasizing your most impressive and unique accomplishments. At the end, tie your experiences to why you are interested in consulting and why you would be a great fit for Deloitte.
4. What accomplishment are you most proud of?
How to answer: Choose your most impressive, unique, or memorable accomplishment. Structure your answer by providing information on the situation, the task, the actions you took, and the results of your work. Explain why the accomplishment is so meaningful to you and what qualities that reveals about you as a person.
5. Tell me about something that is not on your resume.
How to answer: This is a great opportunity to highlight an accomplishment that is not related to your professional work experience. Perhaps there is a non-profit that you volunteer at, a side project or business that you work on, or a hobby that you have won awards or recognition for. Select an accomplishment that is impressive and interesting.
6. Tell me about a time when you had to lead a team.
How to answer: If possible, choose a time when you directly managed a person or a team. For this question and the following similar questions, make sure that you structure your answer. Provide information on the situation, the task, the actions you took, and the results of your work. This is known as the STAR method and is the most common way of answering behavioral or fit interview questions.
7. Describe a time when you faced conflict or disagreement.
How to answer: When answering this question, focus on emphasizing the steps you took to resolve the conflict or disagreement. Speak about the interpersonal skills you had to use in order to mediate the situation. Interviewers want to know that you can handle conflict in a constructive way.
8. Give an example of a time when you successfully persuaded someone.
How to answer: Choose a time when you were able to change someone’s mind who originally disagreed with you. Focus on emphasizing the steps that you took to persuade that person and what impact this had on the organization. Interviewers want to know that you are a great communicator and have strong people skills.
9. Tell me about a time when you failed.
How to answer: Choose a time when you failed to meet a deadline or did not meet expectations. You do not want to pick a failure that is too big or embarrassing. Focus on emphasizing what you learned from the experience and how you used that experience to deliver even better results in the next opportunity that you got. Interviewers want to see that you strive to learn from your past failures and are always working to get better.
10. Are there any questions that you have for me?
How to answer: This is a fantastic opportunity to get to know the interviewer on a more personal level. Ask them questions about their experience in consulting. Ask what their favorite case was or what they are looking to do next in their career. The more you can get the interviewer talking about themself, the more likely they will be to have a positive impression of you. People love talking about themselves, so make sure to listen attentively and ask follow-up questions.

Deloitte Case Interview (questions, process, prep)
Deloitte interviews are pretty challenging compared to regular interviews at large companies. The questions are difficult and the interview format is specific to Deloitte.
But the good news is that with the right preparation it can actually become relatively straightforward to succeed at a Deloitte interview. We've put together this ultimate guide to maximise your chances of success.
Here's an overview of what we'll cover.

1. deloitte consulting is bigger than mckinsey + bcg.
Deloitte is a force to reckon with in consulting. In 2022, it generated ~$26bn in revenue from its consulting business line. This makes it about as big as McKinsey, Bain and BCG combined.
Deloitte Consulting grew through a series of acquisitions. As a result, it's a collection of relatively independent firms operating under the Deloitte Consulting umbrella. Each member firm is managed by local partners who are responsible for their P&L. This is why you get more variation across different offices and regions than you do at a firm such as McKinsey.
Deloitte Consulting has three main practice groups you need to be aware of when applying:
1. Strategy and Operations (S&O) focuses on topics such as corporate strategy, supply-chain improvement, business model transformation, process improvements, etc.
2. Technology consulting focuses on digital strategy, delivery of IT programmes, cyber risks management, designing and building tech-based solutions for clients, etc.
3. Human capital focuses on topics such as organisation transformation, change management, corporate learning and development, diversity and inclusion, etc.
In 2013, Deloitte acquired Monitor which was initially founded by Michael Porter, the father of Porter's five forces . Monitor is now part of Deloitte S&O and that brand is particularly strong in North America.
The type of work Deloitte S&O does is very similar to what you would do at McKinsey , BCG or Bain . If you'd like to learn more about how Deloitte (and the other Big 4 firms) compares to the MBB firms, check out our MBB vs. Big 4 guide .
2. Deloitte interview process
Your interview process with Deloitte will depend on whether you're applying as an experienced or early career candidate. There is also some variation by country, so we recommend that you ask your local HR contact at Deloitte for more details.
Below is an outline of the most common interview process and will be correct for the majority of candidates.
2.1 Early career candidates
As an early career candidate you can apply online. You'll need your educational qualifications to hand, and you'll need to meet the minimum requirements.
The next step is an "immersive online assessment". Here you'll be asked to look at work scenarios and answer how you would respond.
Once you've completed it, you'll receive a "bespoke feedback report about your strengths and abilities".
If you fail the assessment, you'll hear back within a couple of days, but if you pass it may take a week or two before Deloitte contacts you - so in this case, no news is good news!
If you pass, you'll go onto the next assessment step: the "job simulation". You’ll answer questions across formats that include writing, video, multiple choice and ranking. Make sure you're dressed correctly and are in a quiet place before starting the simulation.
After you’ve completed the simulation, you'll get an email letting you know how you did within four weeks.
If successful you would then have a "Final stage assessment", which is a video interview with a senior consultant or an online group exercise. This would be the last step in your interview process.

2.2 Non-early career candidates
If you're an experienced candidate, or at least not an undergraduate or recent graduate, the interview process will probably consist of three steps:
- Resume and cover letter screening
- First round interviews
- Second round interviews
2.2.1 Resume and cover letter screening
First, recruiters will look at your resume and assess if your experience matches the open position. This is the most competitive step in the process—we’ve found that 90% of candidates don’t make it past this stage.
You can use this free resume guide and this free cover letter guide to help tailor your application to the position you’re targeting.
And if you’re looking for expert feedback, you can also get input from our team of ex-MBB recruiters , who will cover what achievements to focus on (or ignore), how to fine tune your bullet points, and more.
2.2.2 First round interviews
Your interviewers at Deloitte will consist of a mix of senior consultants, managers and partners. First round interviews may be done in person or via video or phone call. They usually consist of:
- one behavioural interview (30 to 45mins)
- one or two case interviews (30 to 45mins each).
This is quite similar to what you could expect at other consulting firms.
2.2.3 Second round interviews
Second round interviews are similar to first round interviews, though the line of questioning can be a bit tougher. Your final interview is usually with a hiring partner, and before that you may face a group case interview.
- One behavioral interview (30 to 45mins)
- One case interview (30 to 45mins)
- One group case interview (45mins - 1hr)
Now you've seen an overview of the interview process, let's take a detailed look at regular case interviews and group case interviews at Deloitte, and how you should prepare for them.
3. Deloitte case interview questions
Case interviews at Deloitte are candidate-led. The style is therefore similar to what you will experience in a BCG case interview or a Bain case interview . Our research and experience tells us that there 7 types of questions you need to prepare for in candidate-led case interviews:
- Framework development
- Framework exploration
- Quant question – Data provided
- Quant question – No data provided
- Creativity question
- Recommendation
You can learn more about case interviews and how to prepare in our free case interview guide . One unique thing about Deloitte case interviews is that they will occasionally (but not always) give candidates written materials and a few minutes to review before they start the interview. This type of scenario requires the kind of skills you could learn in our free written case interview guide .
Deloitte has produced some very useful material to help candidates prepare. Take a good look through this practice case .
Deloitte has also shared some example case studies that you can work through interactively:
- Deloitte case study 1: Federal health agency needs to respond to Ebola epidemic (Advanced)
- Deloitte case study 2: Talent management for the Civil Cargo Protection Bureau (Advanced)
- Deloitte case study 3: Engagement strategy for a huge federal agency (Undergraduate)
- Deloitte case study 4: Recreation Unlimited, a global apparel and sportswear company, must reverse declining market share (Undergraduate)
- Deloitte case study 5: Federal benefits provider needs to formulate its 10-year vision (Undergraduate)
All these strategy cases can all be found on Deloitte's case interview prep tool, along with some Application Program Analyst cases and Business Technology Solution cases.
For an overview of the different types of case problems you might face, see our guide: 10 Common Types of Case Interviews .
4. Deloitte group case interview
As mentioned above, Deloitte also uses group case interviews in its final round. Here is the key information you need to be aware of for this interview format:
- Candidates get divided into groups of 4 to 6
- Each group is given information about a case (i.e. a client facing a problem)
- You are given 10mins to review the materials by yourself or with another person in your group
- You are then asked to discuss a few questions about the case for 20mins with the rest of your group in front of your interviewers
- The interviewers will ask a few questions to the group for 15 to 20mins
This type of case mainly tests your ability to work with others. Interviewers won't intervene during the group discussion. They will just observe the group dynamics and mark each participant based on how they are contributing to the discussion.
Here are the top 3 things you should aim to do in your Deloitte group interview:
- Speak with a purpose. At the beginning of a group discussion, a lot of candidates will want to speak their mind as they know participating is important. But participating is not enough. The QUALITY of your input is crucial. Sometimes, it's better to let two or three people get the discussion started. And to then make a very thoughtful point based on how they started the discussion. Focus on the quality of your input, not the quantity.
- Involve everyone. Another tip that's easy to apply is to keep an eye on who's participating in the conversation and who's not. If you identify a member of the group who's struggling to make themselves heard, you should not hesitate to help them be heard by saying something like: "We haven't heard everyone's opinion on this yet. John, Rebecca what do you think?"
- Summarise. Finally, at the end of the 20 minutes group discussion it's a good idea to summarise the different points people have made. This will position you as the person bringing everyone together and making sure all candidates are on the same page. It is something some partners in consulting like doing with clients in real life and will therefore reflect positively on you.
And the top 3 things you should really avoid doing :
- Looking nervous. Group interviews is the time to put your poker face on. Everyone is stressed in a group interview. But you need to try your best to come across as confident. A good way to do this is to focus on basic body language: look at people in the eye, sit confidently, don't cross your arms, etc.
- Interrupting others. Consultants need to be client-friendly, and interrupting someone in a discussion is not client-friendly at all. You should listen carefully to what others are saying. Try to have a genuine interest in what they think. Before making your point, summarise their point to show that you understand what they mean.
- Dominating the conversation. Finally, some candidates are so eager to participate in the conversation that they end up completely dominating the rest of the group without realising it. A good tip to avoid this is to keep an eye on how much time you talk. If you are in a 5-person group you should aim to speak 20% (1/5th) of the time and really no more than 25%.
Your performance in regular and group case interviews will play a big role in Deloitte's decision to give you an offer. If you'd like to learn more how to approach group interviews, check-out our separate detailed guide to group case interviews.
5. Deloitte behavioral questions
Behavioural interview questions asked at Deloitte fall into two categories:
- Fit questions. These are generic questions such as “ Why consulting? ” or “ Why Deloitte? ”.
- Personal Experience Interview (PEI) questions. These are questions such as “Tell me about a time when you led a team through a difficult situation.” Or “Tell me about a time where you had to manage a team conflict”
Here are the top 5 fit and PEI questions you should prepare for at Deloitte and other consulting firms.
Top 5 fit questions:
- Why Deloitte?
- Why consulting?
- Walk me through your resume
- Tell me about something not on your resume
- Tell me about your greatest accomplishment
Top 5 PEI questions. Tell me about a time when ...
- You led a team through a difficult situation
- You worked in a team and had to manage a conflict
- You had a disagreement with a colleague / boss
- You had to change someone's / a group's mind
- You overcame a really difficult challenge
Don't fall into the trap of under-preparing for these types of questions. While they may seem easier than the case interviews, they are extremely important to get right.
You’ll need to prepare several ”stories” or “examples” from your personal and professional experience to demonstrate that you have the traits that Deloitte is looking for.
To learn more, check out our guide to consulting fit / PEI questions .
6. Deloitte case interview preparation plan
Now that you know what to expect in Deloitte interviews, let's discuss the steps you should take to prepare.
6.1 Learn the case interview essentials
The best starting point for your case interview prep is our case interview prep guide . It'll take you through all the different types of questions you may be asked in your case interview, show you how to draw from different frameworks to structure your answer, and give you example cases to practise with.
6.2 Become really confident at maths
You don't have to have a perfect GPA or GMAT score to succeed at case interview maths. However, during your Deloitte interviews, you will be expected to quickly perform accurate mental maths.
In order to do this, it’s essential to know the formulas for common metrics, like return on investment or breakeven point. And it’s also helpful to know a few maths shortcuts to help you solve problems more quickly. To learn more about these topics, check out our free guide to case interview maths .
In our experience, the most successful applicants start their interview preparation by practising maths skills, so make sure you prioritise this step.
6.3 Research the company
Deloitte interviewers want to hire candidates who are deeply motivated to work for their firm. Make sure you're up to date in the latest developments in the area of the company you're applying to join. Here are some useful links to get you started:
- Deloitte's insights page
- Deloitte's selection of business podcasts
- Financial Times' news articles on Deloitte
In addition, do some networking so that you can show you've made the effort to reach out to current staff.
6.4 Practise with peers
Once you're in command of the subject matter, you'll want to start practising cases. But by yourself, you can’t simulate thinking on your feet or the pressure of performing in front of a stranger. Plus, there are no unexpected follow-up questions and no feedback.
If you have friends or peers who can do mock interviews with you, that's an option worth trying. It’s free, but be warned, you may come up against the following problems:
- It’s hard to know if the feedback you get is accurate
- They’re unlikely to have insider knowledge of interviews at your target company
- On peer platforms, people often waste your time by not showing up
For those reasons, many candidates skip peer mock interviews and go straight to mock interviews with an expert.
6.5 Practise with experienced case interviewers
In our experience, practising real interviews with experts who can give you company-specific feedback makes a huge difference.
Find a Deloitte consulting interview coach so you can:
- Test yourself under real interview conditions
- Get accurate feedback from a real expert
- Build your confidence
- Get company-specific insights
- Learn how to tell the right stories, better.
- Save time by focusing your preparation
Landing a job at a top consulting company often results in a $50,000 per year or more increase in total compensation. In our experience, three or four coaching sessions worth ~$500 make a significant difference in your ability to land the job. That’s an ROI of 100x!

Deloitte, along with EY , KPMG , and PwC , makes up the Big 4 and is one of the world’s leading professional services firms that offers many financial services to meet the business needs of its clients. These include:
- Audit & Assurance
- Financial Advisory
- Risk Advisory
- Legal Advisory
Deloitte's global consulting arm provides many services to help clients across regions tackle the most difficult challenges.
These services typically fall into the following categories:
- Strategy and Operations: Developing business strategies, optimizing operations, and improving performance.
- Technology and Digital: Leveraging technology to drive change with better customer experiences and revamping workflows.
- Risk and Financial Advisory: Managing risks, improving financials, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Human Capital: Assisting in developing the workforce with talent management and promoting a positive work culture.
Deloitte's recruitment process is designed to discover the brightest minds and match them with exciting career opportunities in their consultancy services. Let's explore each stage of this process in detail below:
The first step in securing a consultancy role at Deloitte is submitting an online application through their careers portal . Make sure your resume is aligned with the role that reflects your passion for being a consultant and why Deloitte is your firm of choice.
Also, it’s always a best practice to highlight your academic achievements, extracurricular activities, internships , and relevant work experience.
After applying for the consultant role through Deloitte’s online career portal, your CV is passed to the Talent Acquisition Team . They will then analyze and assess the details in the resume against the position you applied for. If they think you can be a potential match, there will be an initial screening over a telephone call or a face-to-face video interview via a Video Conference / Skype.
At this stage, you can also ask the recruiter any questions about the role and Deloitte as employer.
If you leave a positive impression during the initial screening and the Deloitte Talent Acquisition team thinks you have what it takes to join the firm, you will be invited by your campus career center or directly by the recruitment team to the first round of interviews.
The first round of interviews is divided into two parts and includes the Behavioral Interview , which lasts approximately 30–45 minutes, and concludes with an initial Case Interview , which will also last approximately 30–45 minutes.
This round will focus more on assessing your fit with Deloitte . You can call it more of a screener to determine whether or not you can solve case interviews or have the potential to be a great consultant.
For example, suppose the visual diagram that you use to break down a larger problem into bits or the solution is beyond the information given by the interviewer. In that case, they can come up with new information immediately to help you resolve the case in your way.
The final round of interviews at Deloitte will most likely take place on a campus or in a Deloitte office. The format is almost the same as the first round, with both behavioral and case interviews . However, you’ll undergo a group case interview as well.
Here’s the breakdown for the final round :
- Behavioral interview (30 - 45 min)
- Case interview (30 - 45 min)
- Group interview (approx. 1 hour)
At this stage, Deloitte's individual case interviews place you in a hypothetical business situation (real business problems) that the firm solves for its clients. These interviews are candidate-led , meaning you’ll have complete control of every stage for a solution.
The hard part? These real projects, ranging from retail, financial, and packaged goods to education, healthcare , and technology, can take up to 9 months for Deloitte to resolve, but you have less than an hour to solve them on the spot.
The group case interview revolves around 5 stages:
- You’ll be assigned to a group, possibly 3-6 candidates.
- The interview will provide you with a case and the necessary information to solve it.
- You and your team will have 10 minutes to review the case.
- Next, the interviewer will monitor and take notes while your group discusses the case question for about 20 minutes.
- In the next 20 minutes, the interviewer will ask questions based on your discussion.
Deloitte will inform you about how well you performed during the case interviews and move you to the next stage within around a week.
You have almost won the battle at this stage, but there is one hurdle left: Meet with the Deloitte partner from a consulting department. This final assessment allows you to showcase your skills and how you can be a valued member of the firm.
Based on your answer, the partner will determine whether you are coachable and a great fit to work individually or collaboratively.
There’s one more thing! The partner may reveal the notes that your interviewer took during your Deloitte interviews. If there is an area you struggle with, they will ask you relevant questions to judge to make sure it is not a consistent weakness.
If you successfully clear all stages, Deloitte will send you an offer letter. After accepting it, the onboarding process begins, and you start your journey as a consultant with endless possibilities for growth .
Deloitte interviews are no small feat. You have to do your homework, be confident to make an impact, and sell yourself through the entire recruitment process. This only comes through solid preparation , and the best way to do it is to get good at it.
The first thing is to go through the Deloitte mock case interviews and study them down to the smallest details, like taking notes from the interviewer’s feedback, to see in which areas you can improve. It’s a good practice to replay these cases repeatedly till you feel comfortable analyzing the real problem.
In case you are still struggling, and the anxiety is always lurking nearby, find yourself a former consultant and benefit from their personal coaching. They’ve been in your shoes with real cases and mock interviews and came out on top. They also know what Deloitte requires of you and can help you bring out your best to stand out.
👉 At this point, take a moment to browse through our coaches and find the perfect match to meet your needs for successful case interview preparation!

- Proven Frameworks: They'll equip you with effective frameworks and problem-solving techniques that will help you structure your thoughts and present your ideas confidently.
- Confidence Boost: A coach can provide encouragement and support your need to believe in your capabilities so that you can approach the interviews with a positive mindset .

- Increased Confidence: Feel more prepared and confident in your abilities.

- Enhanced Job Prospects: Increase your chances of landing your dream job at Deloitte.
In conclusion, you need to understand each stage of the interviews right from the get-go when you apply for the consultant role on their online portal.
One thing you need to remember is it’s not just about showcasing your skills ; it's about demonstrating your passion, problem-solving abilities, and cultural fit . So, as you step into any of the interviews, be confident, authentic, and enthusiastic. Highlight your unique experiences and how they align with Deloitte's mission. Don't be afraid to ask questions and show genuine interest in the role and the company.
The behavioral questions the interviewers ask are general in nature, and many candidates excel in this part. Deloitte is looking for individuals who are not only talented but also collaborative, innovative, and committed to making a positive impact. So, relax, be yourself, and let your personality shine through.
The real challenge, however, comes with the case interviews, which are often crucial for your future at Deloitte. The key to successful preparation for Deloitte’s case interviews lies in a balanced combination of mock interviews with peers and collaboration with an experienced coach . While peer-to-peer exercises help you sharpen your skills in a realistic environment, individual coaching provides deeper insights and targeted feedback. 🎯
