I applied online. I interviewed at FTI Consulting (Dubai) in Mar 2026
Interview
HR was based in London and had miscommunications with the consultants who were supposed to interview me. Was left hanging for close to an hour. When the consultants finally joined the interview meeting, they seemed to be in a bad mood. No professional etiquette

The interview process is quite quick 10 minute interview, recruiter screaning, into super day to final offer. All took about 2 weeks for everything was really nice. They reply super quickly .
no way near enough time to answer the maths questions or the verbal reasoning assessment, only get 1 min to answer, took 1 min to read, the maths wasn't hard but required multiple calcs that took longer
