I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Deloitte (Alexandria, VA) in Aug 2013
Interview
After being screened by HR via telephone interview, I was interviewed separately by 3 hiring managers at their office, each focused on learning a bit more about me and how I might help out on both a specific project (for which I was being considered) and how I might fit into Deloitte in the long term.
Each interview was different -- one clearly hostile, one very positive about me and one neutral. There really were no business cases presented, more behavioral type questions from all three. And given that they were 30-ish minute sequential interviews, they asked much the same questions.
I was not offered the position (I suspect it was either because of the one manager -- see below -- or because of the client, whom I knew, which would have been too advantageous to Deloitte).

Question 1
One hiring manager kept asking the question, "What is in it for ME to hire you?" He was hostile and became increasingly so as I attempted to answer his question.
I responded initially in terms of what I brought to the project, then what I could bring to Deloitte. When asked again, I inquired as to how he earned the proverbial "gold star" and then offered how I could help him achieve his goals.
He laughed and said he had a whole lot of people who already do that...and he asked again. I offered some other things...to which he laughed again and said I was dense. He then made it clear that he was soliciting some form of a bribe (money or sex) when he made it clear that he wanted to either "personally profit" or "feel good" because he hired me.
I made it clear that I would never do that (the thought occurred to me that this was an integrity test), at which point he said the interview was over and passed me to the next hiring manager.
Whether it was some sort of test or he was indicative of the quality of manager at Deloitte, I am on the whole glad I was passed over. Though I know I could have made a very positive contribution to the consulting project.
Really long process; after a verbal offer, I got ghosted and now the offer is rescinded because my expected salary is higher than that of another candidate:) Very disappointing and discouring experience
The three-stage process included a case study and involved meeting several team members. Overall, it was a positive experience although the recruiter took a while to inform me about the offer.
The interview process was long and slow. Took a lot of time to connect, but was worth the effort. The interviews were good and informative, but the turn around time was high, had to wait for good 2 months to hear back
