Hello everybody,I am new to this forum and I have found it very useful so far. I have my AC with Deloitte coming soon and I want to prepare as much as possible but I have a difficulty finding examples of recent AC cases for the customer management team in consulting. I have been told to expect a written case, a case study presentation followed by an interview, a partner interview and group exercise. Has anybody been through a similar AC recently? Can you give me any examples of written exercises, case studies and group case studies? They are supposed to be real life examples. But any examples would be hugely appreciated as I am not sure if i need to prep for strategy case studies and how difficult these will be. I would appreciate your help!!!! Thank you in advance

KaCal,I had an experienced hire AC with Deloitte this summer (Consulting, but a different group) and it was nearly identical to the guide on wiki job, including the case studies used.http://www.wikijob.co.uk/forum/consultancy-consulting-firms/deloitte-2011-consulting-assessment-centre-guideGood luck.

Hi Calibri,Thank you very much for your prompt reply. It is very helpful. The case study example on wikijob is quite operational and I wanted to check if yours included any market sizing, shares etc or whether it was heavy on numbers? Also, re the written exercise, did it just require synthesizing key facts and recommendations or did it also require your market/topic-specific knowledge? If anybody else has had a recent experience, I would appreciate your thoughts...Thank you again very much!!!

My case (as per wiki) for the presentation and interview was operational/IT, despite the role being in FS. The presentation only lasts 10min and after a few questions you're into the main interview.The written exercise includes all of the information you need, but it does state you can bring in external knowledge if relevant. The exercise was almost solely communication based and just required taking the relevant parts from the handout and summarizing them in a briefing document.As far as I'm aware Deloitte don't do 'case' style interviews, as you'd find at MBB and the like, so no need to worry about that, however those principles may help structuring your approach to presentations and written cases.By the way, this was for Senior Consultant/Manager. I don't know if then process changes for levels above.

Hi Calibri,This was very helpful. Thank you very much for your advice.If anybody else has had a recent experience, I would appreciate your thoughts...Thank you again

Hi Calibri,Once more I would like to thank you for your advice. I just received an offer which is unexpectedly very good. Thank you again.

Congrats.I'll take cash or a cheque.

Deal! Send me your address! Lol.
