I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at FTI Consulting in Oct 2022
Interview
The interview process was very straightforward and relatively easy, with three rounds. The first round was a one-way interview where I had to answer four behavioral questions. I had an unlimited amount of time to prepare but only two minutes to answer, and I could only record my answers once. The second round was more of a conversation between three Senior Consultants and me. They asked me a few questions about my resume, why I wanted to join FTI, and why I wanted to join their team. It was very casual and relaxed, and I really enjoyed speaking with all of my interviewers. The final round was a Super Day interview. I think most candidates had between 3 and 5 30-minute back-to-back interviews, but I only had 2 (with a Managing Director and a Senior Managing Director). Again, they asked me a few behavioral-style questions and asked me a bit about my background, but they spent a large part of the time talking about why they liked FTI. I loved my interview process and really like the company, and ultimately only turned down the offer because I received a higher total compensation package from another company. I'd highly recommend applying to anyone who is interested!
