I applied online. I interviewed at Deloitte (Midrand) in Mar 2025
Interview
First interview was with other software developers/leads on Teams, which was easy atleast according to me. Second interview was with the directors in that sector, which was also via Teams. Then lastly I did an aptitude test. I received an offer, but the offer was incomplete or had a document missing.
The "offer" I got had no details of how much I'd be getting or what position I'd be getting myself into, but some talent acquisition lady wanted me to sign either way. To say I'm shocked of how deloitte handles things is an understatement. To date I'm still waiting for HR to clarify why I need to sign documents that are incomplete. I now understand why software developers run away from this place. Rather suffer at your old work place as a software developer than stress yourself at Audit firms. 😂
The interview was simple, asked basic questions like string traversal and array reverse, then moved to the next round. This was difficult; they asked me to design the complete system considering the HLT and LLT, and also to explain the trade-off.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic string and array, ask me to reverse the array
I only did one interview. They ask you some questions about your work style and background. I also did the coding assessment, which was difficult for me but I didn't really have a coding background.
Interview mode is virtual. They focused more on scenario based questions. Interview experience is very good. I hope attended 2 interviewers and interviewed both simultaneously. At last asked me to focus on multiple skills.
