I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at FTI Consulting (London, England) in Nov 2021
Interview
The AC was tough. I got asked to do a valuation case study which was extremely time pressuring and difficult to contextualize given my background.
The interviewers were friendly though.
First few stages were pretty standard (CV + cover letter, maths and verbal reasoning tests, online fit interview). The final round AC was quite cool - there was a group activity, another maths test, a very cool case exercise and interview about it and a partner interview.
The partner I got assigned on the day happened to be a bully and almost made me cry from the second they walked in the door. All the other guys in my AC had positive experiences with their partner so I guess I just got unlucky.
