Applied through the campus portal, first round was a 30 min behavioral with the manager. Questions like tell me about a time you led a team, why consulting, why Deloitte etc.. Second round was a case it was about a grocery chain expanding into a new province and I had to estimate market size and recommend an entry strategy. They really wanted you to just be able to think and see your process rather than only getting the right answer. Heard back within 2.5 weeks

both rounds were case studies which I was not expecting to be so intense for an intern interview. first one was a market entry case where you had to size the opportunity and build a framework with tricky assumptions around market share. second round was a profitability case and the problem statement itself had so many exhibits so by the time you understand what they're asking there's only like 20 min left to present. not having a calculator didn't help either. I know people say Deloitte intern interviews aren't that tough but mine was lol
Questions Asked
1.“Describe a time you had to adapt your communication style for a very different audience”
2.“Describe a time you spotted an issue that was outside your defined scope but critical to the client.”
3.“How do you quickly build credibility with a new client team”
