Monitor Deloitte Italy: back‑to‑back technical interviews — what cases to expect & how to prepare?

Question

Hi everyone,

In two weeks I’ll face two consecutive technical interviews (with a one‑hour break in between) for a position at Monitor Deloitte in Italy. I’ve been practicing generic case interviews, but I’d love to understand what’s typical for this firm and office. My key questions:

Interview format and flow
- Are the cases usually interviewer‑led or candidate‑led?
- How much time is allocated to fit/behavioral questions vs. the case itself?
Most common case types
- Have you noticed recurring themes (e.g., healthcare, energy, consumer goods)?
- Does Monitor Deloitte Italy tend to focus on specific industries or functions?
Predicting the sector beforehand
- If there’s no clear pattern, how can I gauge the most likely sector (job description clues, interviewer’s practice area, recent Deloitte projects/news)?
- Is it wise—or risky—to ask HR for hints?
Other technical questions
- Do they also include guesstimates / market‑sizing or rapid math drills?
- Should I expect business‑sense checks on trends and competitor dynamics beyond the framework?
Logistical & mental best practices
- Tips for using the one‑hour gap between interviews (quick review, mental reset, etc.)?
- Remote setup advice: camera position, virtual whiteboard vs. paper, time‑management hacks.

If you’ve recently gone through technical rounds with Monitor Deloitte (or the broader Deloitte Strategy practice) in Italy, I’d greatly appreciate:

concrete examples of cases you received,
perceived difficulty, and
firm‑specific “dos & don’ts.”

Thank you so much for any insights!

Answer 1

Can you clarify what specific role/practice area you are applying for? Normally in case interviews 'technical' refers to digital practice i.e. Analytics / Architecture etc

Answer 2

Hi there,

These are great questions but you're only likely to get great answers from those already working at Monitor Deloitte in a role similar to the one you targeted.

I'd recommend you try and reach out to some of them for a chat. During this discussion, ask them how they went about the prep for the technical interview and what do they think made them successful. So in that sense, don't ask them 'what questions they received during the interview' but how they went about their prep.

A couple of people should be willing to help if you reach out with a polite message to lots of people (don't message though the entire office at once).

Answer 3

Hi there,

I helped a couple of candidates land offers at Monitor Deloitte Spain last year, so here’s what to expect — and how to prep smart.

Cases are candidate-led. You’ll probably get a market sizing or estimation question. Don’t obsess over case types or sectors — they don’t matter. What matters is showing that you’ve built the consulting toolkit. That means:

Structuring the problem clearly
Doing math with logic and confidence
Interpreting data charts with insight
Brainstorming top down and being a creative thinker
Communicating like a future consultant

Your goal isn’t to “solve” the case. It’s to show them how you think — clearly, logically, and consistently.

Best,

Alberto.
