Interview Questions Asked at Deloitte
Last updated: June 2026
Every question in this database was reported by a candidate who actually went through a Deloitte interview. There are no practice problem lists here, no generic algorithm guides. 143+ real questions, each with a source attribution, updated daily from 7 platforms.
What the Deloitte Interview Process Looks Like
Deloitte's interview process typically spans three to five rounds depending on the role and team. For software engineering roles, the standard path is: online assessment, phone screen (one or two rounds), followed by a virtual or in-person on-site with four to six interviewers. Each round has a distinct question format.
The OA is usually the first filter. Deloitte OA questions are timed coding challenges administered through a third-party platform. Two questions in 90 minutes is the most commonly reported format. Candidates post OA questions quickly after completing them, making OA data among the most current in LeakCode.
On-site rounds mix technical and behavioral interviews. Technical rounds focus on algorithms and system design. Behavioral rounds probe past behavior using a structured framework. Deloitte interviewers score independently before comparing notes, so consistency in your answers across rounds matters significantly.
Questions Commonly Asked at Deloitte by Round Type
The 143+ candidate reports in LeakCode for Deloitte break down across these round types:
-
OA (Online Assessment): Typically 2 medium-to-hard coding problems. Arrays, strings, and hash maps appear most frequently. DP and graph problems appear in higher-difficulty OAs. Time management is a major factor.
-
Phone screen: Usually 1 coding problem, sometimes 2. The difficulty is medium. Interviewers expect clean code and explanation of trade-offs. Edge cases and time/space complexity analysis are expected.
-
On-site technical: Mix of coding and system design depending on seniority. Senior roles have more system design weight. Junior roles have more coding. Behavioral rounds are present at all levels and are not to be underestimated.
-
Behavioral: Deloitte uses a structured behavioral evaluation. Questions probe past projects, conflict resolution, cross-functional influence, and technical decision-making. Having 5-7 detailed STAR stories prepared covers most behavioral rounds candidates report.
How to Prepare for Questions Asked at Deloitte
A focused approach to Deloitte preparation using candidate-reported questions covers three stages:
-
1
Understand the round structure Before drilling questions, confirm the interview format for the specific role you are targeting. Use LeakCode to filter Deloitte questions by role and round type. An MLE on-site has different question distribution than a PM on-site. Do not prepare a generic question list.
-
2
Build a target question list Filter Deloitte questions in LeakCode to your target role and round. Sort by recency. Export or note the questions appearing most frequently in the last 6-12 months. This is your primary preparation list. Add LeetCode company-tagged problems for coding coverage.
-

Simulate the interview conditions Practice each question under timed conditions. Deloitte's OA is strictly timed. Phone screens have soft time pressure from the interviewer. On-site rounds require you to talk through your thinking while coding. Practice out loud, not just at a keyboard. Behavioral questions need rehearsal as much as coding does.
Interview Question Categories at Deloitte
Questions asked at Deloitte cover all major interview formats. Here is what each category looks like in practice.
Deloitte coding questions cover algorithms and data structures. Common topics include arrays, trees, graphs, dynamic programming, and string manipulation. Difficulty ranges from medium to hard for senior roles.
System design questions ask you to architect distributed systems, databases, or product features at scale. Deloitte uses these for mid-level and senior engineers to assess architectural thinking.
Behavioral questions at Deloitte probe leadership, conflict resolution, cross-functional collaboration, and impact. Answers using the STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result) score better with interviewers.
Deloitte OA rounds are timed coding challenges, typically 2 questions in 90 minutes. Candidates report them immediately after completing the assessment, making OA data highly current in LeakCode.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of questions are asked at Deloitte interviews?
Deloitte asks coding (algorithms and data structures), system design, behavioral, and sometimes role-specific technical questions. The exact mix depends on the role and seniority level. Based on 143+ candidate reports, coding is the largest category, followed by behavioral. System design questions appear more heavily for senior and staff-level roles.
How hard are the interview questions asked at Deloitte?
Coding difficulty at Deloitte ranges from medium to hard based on candidate reports. OA problems skew medium. On-site coding problems skew medium-hard. System design questions are open-ended with no fixed difficulty, but interviewers look for depth in trade-off analysis. Behavioral questions are not graded on difficulty, but require specific examples and structured answers.
Does Deloitte ask the same questions to every candidate?
No. Deloitte uses a question pool, and interviewers draw from it. Different candidates encounter different questions. However, the pool has finite size, so the same question appears across many candidates over time. This is why cross-source frequency signals in LeakCode are meaningful: high frequency means the question is being drawn repeatedly from the active pool.
How current are the Deloitte interview questions in the database?
LeakCode ingests new candidate reports from 7 platforms daily. For Deloitte, which is one of the highest-volume companies in the database, new reports arrive regularly. The most current questions are always available by sorting by recency on the Deloitte company page or on this page.
