I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at FTI Consulting (London, England) in Feb 2020
Interview
I went to an Assessment Day at their London offices. The day started with networking, then we did a written assignment, an interview with two consultants, and then networked with the previous year's graduates over lunch. There was a group task and another one-on-one interview afterwards.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at FTI Consulting (London, England) in May 2020
Interview
I was referred to FTI by an existing employee, and had an initial conversation within a week. During that initial conversation, the HR personnel was late for over an hour, she explained it was because she was too busy and asked to rearrange, which was understandable.
After we had our conversation, she told me she would let me know within a week whether they would progress me further. Of course, there was no response within a week so I chased them and she again told me she will let me know within a few days/week. The same thing carried on for a few more times... After 2 months from the initial conversation, I was informed that they had gone with candidates with more experience, which again is understandable. However, I do not appreciate and do not accept how slow and painful the process is, it's almost like they wait until they find a more suitable candidate with more experience before informing you that you do not have the right experience. This could have been communicated much earlier on.
Overall, It was not a pleasant experience and I felt that my time was not valued and this completely changed my view of this company. The process is unprofessional and I have not experienced such a sub-standard application process.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FTI Consulting (London, England) in Jul 2019
Interview
Recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn for the role. Within a couple of weeks I had a telephone interview.
Telephone interview with two employees from the department on conference call via a very bad line.
I never heard back from them or the recruiter which I thought was very rude. I also had a Male friend who went for the same process and was treated to a nice chat about the job and his CV whereas I was hit with a barrage of technical questions so expect the unexpected.
