I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at FTI Consulting (Amherst, MA)
Interview
First we had a pre interview "networking" night (aka the interviewers got drunk at the open bar while we were trying to ask them real questions). It seems as though they came to our school to recruit only because they went there for undergrad, and wanted to relive their "party years". They never intended on seriously interviewing any of us. The next day the interview was pretty ridiculous, a lot of specific technical questions... For an entry level job? They were interviewing college seniors! Needless to say, none of us that they interviewed went on to the final round. Now that I've graduated and have settled into a career at a firm where I am satisfied, I have realized that the culture at FTI is incredibly sexist and old fashioned, think 1950s era. This is what I have heard. So obviously, they don't hire many women.

Question 1
Do you kids still go out to (name of local bar in college town) ? Seriously they asked us about this.
First Round: 30 min technical questions,
Second Round/Superday: 3 back-to-back interviews with panel of current employees and speeches from HR and various members of the teams. There was a very difficult modeling test given.
Technical questions were not too difficult and behavioral portion was mostly centered around fit.

Question 1
Financial Modeling, walk me through 3 statements, DCF, etc. Pretty standard finance technicals.

Interview
This was an interview for the TMT industry sector. It was the first of 2 interviews. Met with a senior consultant who's been at FTI for a few years. Got the interview after their recruiting department referred me to apply. The interview itself was very chill--mostly STAR questions about my experiences (how I've demonstrated managerial skills including communication and dealing with change/adversity).

Tell me about a time you had to change your priorities.

Interview
Had on campus interviews, one was a 1v1 and one was a 2v1, then got a final round which was in their office in Boston and was like 6 30 minute interviews with all of their SMDs, and then a group case study and presentation on the zoots refinancing case. We had to submit a written case analysis prior to this on the question of whether or not you would invest in this company.
