I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FTI Consulting in Jan 2014
Interview
On campus interview, very friendly, mostly behavioral for the first round, few basic finance questions (3 financial statements). Final rounds were mostly behavioral and one case interview. The case interview dealt with a finance related problem in my interview but that wont always be the case. Make sure you know why you want to go into financial consulting.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You should know basic finance (Valuation, Financial Statements)
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.
