I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FTI Consulting (Hong Kong) in Jan 2021
Interview
The interview process was not difficult. The first interview consists of HR selling FTI and its brand to you, so no technical questions involved. The second interview with the MD is mostly a cultural fit chat. I believe there is a third stage where you meet the SMD, but I can't comment on this as I did not reach this stage. All in all, the interview process was very informal. I'm surprised they didn't test your financial modeling skills as it seems it's the norm with restructuring firms.
Also, don't bother sending follow-ups as they will not respond. Even Big 4s and other management consultancy firms will provide you with updates and feedback if you ask. I guess courtesy is not what the company values.
Easy interview process with some data analysis and questions to answer about a case with financial statements. Behavioral questions like why this firm, why consulting, etc. Professional process and not too difficult
The process has a very practical and interesting case study, an introduction about the firm and employee teams. Overall speaking, there have a very good vibe and a friendly working atmosphere.
The interview process for consultant position consisted of one or two online interviews, and several in person interviews with varying level personnel in person and online. Basic questions on background and handling specific situations, as well as experience and knowledge of industry questions.
