Interview
Cultural, technical, and behavioral all in person prior to covid. There's also a data exercise largely focused on descriptive statistics and data cleaning. Depending on the industry being interviewed for, there can be a verbal case study.

Interview
All in all I would say nothing that someone wouldn't expect. Surprisingly, there was no coding part, partly expected.
Applied through a recruiter.
First round was a 1h phone call with a senior member of the wider analytics practice with, what it seemed from the phone, experience. General questions about machine learning, statistics, model evaluation, questions based on recent experience.
Second round was in person, a 2h session, 1h with a senior data scientist that was somewhat technical, again around ML. Second session with a Director (quite senior), more consulting question but still around analytics.
Last round with the Partner of the practice. Essentially, a 1h chat around life, a bit about Deloitte. I would say that if you are not a complete a*&hole, you are 95% on track!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General questions about analytics, statistics, ML. For instance to discuss why would you choose a specific metric to asssess the performance of an ML model against the predictions, what is PCA in simple terms.
Regaring the consulting questions, it was more of a scenario test: Let's imagine we have a retail company trying to understand some business problem (can't remember), how would you go about asking for data etc.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Deloitte (Toronto, ON) in Jul 2020
