I applied through college or university. I interviewed at FTI Consulting (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
Campus resume drop. On-campus interview (30 minutes). In-office Super Day (4 hours).
The process was fairly efficient except for the happenings after the Super Day - it took 2 weeks for FTI to extend an offer.
I would suggest attending their events to get your face out their. The on-campus interview is focused on your past experience, and the in-house interview is more forward-looking in terms of evaluating your fit at FTI.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work in consulting and not quantitative finance?
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.
