Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Deloitte to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Deloitte
In interviews, be realistic but still helpful. Relax and try and have a friendly chat with your interviewer, you are very likely to work with them if you get in and they are often quite friendly themselves.
