CME Intern at FTI Consulting
No Offer – Interviewed in Los Angeles, CA Feb 2013 – Reviewed Mar 6, 2013
Interview Details – FTI's website said first-round was behavioral/traditional interview questions only. My first-round was completely technicals - no behaviorals were asked. Honestly, it was my fault for not reviewing my technicals beforehand, but I was still disappointed that I was caught off-guard. I wish the interviewer at least tried to get to know me before he started throwing technicals at me.
