I applied online. I interviewed at Deloitte (Luxemburgo)
Interview
I had a 1 hour video interview with HR for a Senior Manager role in Consulting. It was pretty straightforward in general, except the HR person was very no-emotion person. He stressed me too much to make me tell an expected salary, afterwards I told him a figure and also highlighted that this is negotiable. A week later, I received a call saying that they liked me very much but the salary I mentioned was too high so they are declining my application. Then I asked him their price saying that I am ok to negotiate. He offered me whether a salary would work, I said no. Then he offered me 5k eur more, I again said no also as I do not want to negotiate like that not even having a first round interview with business. I found this very unprofessional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Why Deloitte?
- Some generic competency based questions
- A few minutes chat in French to assess the speaking skills.
- Very strong pressure on the expected salary figure
Thorough with good communication throughout the process. I first had a phone call with an initial screener. Then the hiring director, VP and MD. A few rounds. very standard questions. Usual prep required.
Clear interview process. Steps well explained. Candidate required to present a business case which felt a bit like providing free consulting. They were very good on p[roviding feedback ion interview performance and also getting back to candidate within the timescale they had promised
