WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THIS INTERVIEW
Deloitte is a professional-services firm, not a pure software product company. Its technology work combines consulting, implementation, managed services, cloud, software engineering, analytics, and data-driven transformation.
Deloitte is placing strong public emphasis on AI and engineering, especially moving client work from experimentation into reliable production systems. For a data engineer, that makes data quality, platform reliability, governance, cost, and measurable business value useful themes to bring into your answers.
Deloitte serves commercial organizations, large enterprises, governments, and public-sector agencies. Expect the hiring manager to care about how you handle different stakeholders, constraints, security needs, and levels of technical maturity.
Every one of these came from something we read about Deloitte. The sources are linked, so you can check them.
